The cooktop heats up FAST and has a wide range of heat settings allowing for exacting heat control. That's all very nice.
However, the "touch" for making the settings is flakey. Sometimes (and not others) it takes a bit of fussing to get it to recognize that I want to make a change to the heat setting. I always get there eventually.
Secondly, the outline of the "burners" is very dim in the glass top, so figuring out where to place the pan can, in lesser lighting, be a problem -- bending my neck one way then another to see where the pan should be set down. A brighter outline to define the placement would have been helpful.
Lastly, the control for the upper center burner should have been swapped for the timer control. It doesn't make intuitive sense not to the have the control as near to the burner it represents as possible. It matters much less where the timer control is. Strange that they got this backwards.
My complaints are generally minor in content and we'll keep and use this cooktop for a long time, I'm sure.

Cooks faster than anything on the planet
on February 1, 2012

I replaced my 20 year old electric cooktop with this high tech one. I have only had it for a couple of months, but I highly recommend it. I already had the stainless cookware for it. This Induction cooking is amazing ! I turned a pot of water on the "Boost" mode and left the room for only a few minutes. When I returned it was boiling like mad. I have discovered cooking again. And when you turn it off....it's off right now! Love this cooktop. A little pricey, but it is amazing. But now, this is my side of the kitchen, so I have to clean it too. My wife is now off the hook!
I would recommend this to a friend!

LOVE THIS COOKTOP
on April 22, 2013
Posted by: ENGINEER33
from FORT WAYNE, IN
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a guy, engineer, age 66, and I researched the induction tops for a year. I talked about it so much that my wife agreed. We had an electric cast-iron burner range before. We did an 80% kitchen remodel with granite tops. My wife wanted all SS and looked at all of the models and picked the GE Profile series. I was won over by the totally knob less, button less GE design. This top is really fantastic to cook on. If a pot starts to boil-over, no need to move it just touch the ON/OFF area on the glass surface and it quits boiling faster than you could move it. Then touch ON/OFF and set it at 2 or 3 and walk away. My wife thinks it is maybe the "second" best decision I ever made. We put a built-in Wall oven under the cooktop to replace the slide in range we had before. All this was in a center island over a concrete slab. I installed a two breaker power panel in the Island to provide separate circuits (20A & 40A) for the oven and cooktop. The feed to the panel is still the 40 amp circuit I had and figure I won't have any tripping problems as the equivalent GE range only needs a 40 amp supply.

Sleek and Speedy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cooktop actually looks better than in the photo - it doesn't have the metal trim around it anymore. It looks very sleek on my countertop and the induction feature heats everything so quickly that I can't believe it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Question about the quality of this appliance
on March 25, 2014
Posted by: Charlie1923
from Reston, VA
This is our second GE PHP900DMBB Profile 30" Black Electric Induction Cooktop. The first was purchased on 5/18/2012 and it stopped working in Dec 2014. Then we purchased another one (identical model) in Dec 2014 and installed at beginning of the year. Half of Cooktop stopped working again in early March. We are still waiting to get it fixed by GE.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
