Great Cooktop
This cooktop is easy to use, clean and cook on. We replaced an older GE cooktop and this one is great. The large burners and size selects are perfect.

      Easy to use, easy to clean
      Have been using the GE profile cooktops for several years and would buy again. They are easy to use and easy to clean. Keep them polished and they will hold up for many years. Added bonus, they look great.

        Top cracked 15 months after purchase
        We had been really pleased with this range until noticing that the glass has cracked over the bottom right burner just 15 months after purchase. Of course, this is just outside the one year manufacturer warranty, so it looks like we will have to by another stove (again). It will not be the same brand. Also, the touch functionality is very sensitive and it is not unusual to find that I have accidentally turned all the burners off unintentionally, usually when the pasta water is no longer boiling.

        Hi there, thanks for taking the time to write a review. We're so sorry to hear about your cooktop cracking. If you still have the cooktop in question and this crack was not caused by dropping something on your cooktop, please reach out to us on social media with your complete model and serial numbers and pictures of the damage. All the best. -Michael@GEA GE_Appliances

            Well designed, quality cooktop
            This is a great cooktop. It’s well designed, looks great, and does a high quality job of heating. The placement of the burner sizes allows many to be used within crowding another out. And the all lock means easy cleanup.

                Very hard to see dials/controls. Very easy to inadvertantly shut it off. Moisture on the surface will shut it off, too. Would not buy again.

                        We remodeled our kitchen and wanted contemporary appliances with all the features. GE appliances were the best by far!

                          Works like it is supposed to
                          Silly reason the give a review but it does work well enough but time will tell. Can never get the nice finish to stay clean and streak-free but maybe that is good

                            Easy install into existing cutout. Heats quickly. Easy to clean without knobs. Matches nicely with our other GE Stainless appliances.

                              I just love it although a little disappointed because I thought I read somewhere it came with a Griddle perhaps I had the wrong model number.

                                    Great cook top, easy to install
                                    I ordered this cooktop to replace another GE Profile unit that developed frequrecommended. It installed almost exactly in the previous units counter cutout. There was a minor interference with the counter top due to the relocation of the screws that hold on the control box cover on the underside of the cooktop. Otherwise it was a direct replacement for the older unit. The controls are a little different, but once you get used to them it operates as desired and is overall a good cooktop - recommended.

                                      This cooktop is amazing. The shiny black top looks like something from the future. The controls are easy to understand and the abilities of the burners far surpasses any other cooktop I have ever cooked on. Simply sensational.

                                        This cooktop is simple to use. I love the power boil and warming burner. I also love the lock feature.

                                          We purchased this digital model because we couldn't get one with knobs. It takes a bit of getting used to, but the learning curve is not much. The cooktop works well.

                                              I can cook again (if I want)
                                              Following an electrical spike 11 days ago, we have been without a cooktop and microwave and air conditioners. Our GE serviceman came today to see if things were repairable and, while they are, in the case of the cooktop, it was going to be too expensive so we opted to get a new appliance. Unfortunately at the moment nobody has stock and won’t until August/September. We found a floor sample that works with our dimensions, so we decided to go that way. Brought it home and installed it right away. The part for the microwave won’t arrive until mid August, but we can live without that. It is one thing not wanting to cook, but a whole lot different not being able to cook. While I haven’t cooked on it yet, our last GE Profile worked great for 15 years and would still be working if not for the electrical spike for which the Electric Company took zero responsibility.

                                                The cooktop is easy to clean and has a great modern look without knobs. We've had no problems with getting to understand it operation. The chimes are fast in response. The control lock works great to prevent accidental turn-on. My wife loves it!

                                                  Poor markings
                                                  The controls are hard to see in anything short of bright light. They need to be more white than grey. Markings for the burners are also too hard to see.
