I have very expensive induction cookware (Tucci - Green pan). In spite of the fact that this cooktop boasts the ability to sense the size of the pan, it will not work on any of the "burners" with a 8 inch pan. I have to use a 10" or 12" pan to cook one egg. That is ridiculous. Went for Kitchenaid appliances in my new home, but wish I would have kept my GE Cafe like in my old home. Cooking in larger pans, great, won't pick up any small pans or sauce pans at all.........
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a month ago and we are using it more and more. We are an older couple so it took us a while to figure how to set the temp we wanted but are on our way.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This kitchenaid induction cooktop is top tier. I already loved the brand and knew this was going to be a great quality cooktop. The glass top surface is smooth and modern. It’s easy to wipe clean when you get food or spills on it. Once it’s cooled I spray it with my cleaner, let it sit, and then wipe it down with no issues. I love how quickly this heats up and it’s very responsive. I like that there’s a square/rectangle area for different size pans or even a griddle. My husband installed it with no complications. I do appreciate the fact that it is so energy efficient. If you’re used to using knobs to turn up or down the stove it can take some getting used to because if you’re trying to touch it when your hands are wet it can be an annoyance at times. Also, certain pans don’t work as well as others, so if you’re ever having trouble with heat distribution check your pans. We use stainless steel with no complications.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The cooktop works really well. It heats quickly, keeps the temperature steady, and the 5 zones give good flexibility for different pans. The design is simple and clean, and overall it’s been easy to use.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Such an upgrade! Replaced my old cooktop with knobs for burners. This is touch from the top. So much safer than before. No more accidental burners are being turned on. Can also control from the app on phone. Was easy for my husband to hook up 240v. Incredibly beautiful with the counter tops.
