Looks great and works like a charm!!
I was initially hesitant to acquire an induction cooktop. Having done so I'm glad I did, especially so that it's a GE cooktop.
The unit looks great and has excellent and easy to use and understand features.

Super fast
Love the sleek look of this cooktop. The induction feature cooks food incredibly fast. It does take some getting used to because the food heats up so quickly. The cooktop is easy to clean and pretty much is additional counter space when not in use.

Streamlined and easy to use
I bought my new cooktop about a month ago to update my 40 year old kitchen. I love the smooth, no dials top and the induction is very easy to keep clean

Great time saving cook top
I had an older GE cooktop with knobs that were mounted in the glass. It was very hard to keep clean. Now it’s a breeze to clean up after cooking foods that splatter. That, coupled with the convenience of induction cooking makes this cooktop my favorite appliance.

So freaking fast
Okay I replaced my 17yo ge smoothtop electric with a new php9030 I bought myself for Christmas. I knew induction was going to be faster, I have chef friends and know they use it. I didn’t know how freaking fast it was though. Pot of water from tap to boiling in under half a minute. It is freaky fast, I really had to do it twice to let it sink in. Cooking is about to change. Love it!

Terrible installation
Just got the stovetop and the installation was a nightmare. The holes for the flashing did not line up at all. The hole that it did line up with already had a screw pertruding through it. We tried to modify the flashing to fit the hole next to it but there was a red power wire right bellow the surface that didnt want to budge. Spent way too long on this almost useless part and it still isnt able to be attatched but on one side. Works fine, but a pain in the butt.

Great Product
I had not had a cooktop before and I have always cooked with/on a gas stove. I was hesitant about cooking with electric as I remember my parents having one of those old coil electric stoves where anything and everything that touched it got badly burned, including non food items. It was dangerous.
I am very pleased with this cooktop, it is quick, efficient and very safe. The cooktop style and clean look adds an elegance to the kitchen
Thank you

It is fast heating
I bought the induction cooktop a year ago 2016 and was great for a year until one of the burner stop working and a week later the big burner stop also so if you buy it take in cosideration that you will have a good cooktop for a year only after them be aware of the problems the you will acquire.

Hello Jose R,
Thank you for taking the time to write a review on your cook top. We truly regret your experience. This is not what we would expect from our product.
We have forwarded your comments to our quality control team. We appreciate your feedback.

This was our first experience with an Induction Cooktop. We have had it working since 5/26/2017. It fit perfectly into the existing hole in our island countertop. It is easy to use, but difficult to clean. It is very hard to get a haze-free surface with the cleanser provided. It appears to leave a greasy film/haze no matter how many times you wipe with a clean paper towel. There are still some installation issues that are not yet complete; 40 Amp breaker and #8 AWG wire needed to be installed in order to use full capability of the Cooktop.
I dislike the fact that it is not possible to set a variable temperature/cooking level without going to "L" or "H", first. It should be possible to select any cooking level available between 1 and 9 WITHOUT having to go the extra step of "On/Off" to "L" or "H" and then to "1 - 9". You should be able to go directly to any level of cooking WITHOUT the “L” or “H” step.

Induction is the way to cook - the ability to instantly change temperature is a life changer for electric cooking. The safety of the unit, in that it will not turn on, or stay on if a pan is not present on the burner area is very comforting. And you can’t get burned from touching the cooktop surface! The unit was a drop-in installation when switching from my old GE coil top. The black surface is sleek looking on my warm stained antique-wood counter. Love the speed of heating when needed and the low warmth settings that that are so useful for cooking and keeping food ready to serve. The surface cleans up easily with water and a soft nylon scrubber, with no scratches. I’m very pleased!

Great look, awesome performance
We have been using the cooktop for roughly four months. Our previous home we had gas and were concerned with our new homes electric cooktop. We remodeled the kitchen and installed the induction cooktop. The top looks awesome with our granite counter. More importantly, its operation is very similar to gas in times to heat/cook. There is a slight "hum" while cooking from the induction process, we like it, it provides an audible coupled with the red visual indicators when the top is on. Love the feature that once the pan/pot is removed from the burner, the controls automatically power off the burner circuit. The product hit all three keys for us; the visual appeal, the efficient operation and the safety features.

excellent
Works great, looks great, and very easy to keep clean. We have had it for about a year now and it still looks like new. Way easier to keep clean than other stoves or cooktops. Instant amazing heat.

Steer clear
I am extremely dissatisfied with this unit. After multiple repairs, the unit is very unreliable. It seems that without full coverage of a pad, the unit simply does not sense the presence of the pot or pan and will not activate that pad. This has lead to extreme frustration when cooking having to use oversized pots and make sure everything is properly positioned to make this work. I don't know if this is an induction issue or if this unit is simply poorly engineered. I would NEVER buy this product again and will very likely be replacing it. Very expensive lesson learned.

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your feedback on your cooktop. We are really sorry to hear about issues using the induction cooktop and we want to help.
For best results, we recommend using a pan that matches the element size. Pans should have a flat bottom and be at least 5 inches across the bottom. Please refer to the link for more information: https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=16895
Please let us know if you have any additional questions. We’re always here to assist with the operation of your appliances. -Charlie@GEAppliances

I’ve had a GE induction cooktop for over 25 years. When it needed replacement there was no question but to purchase another newer model

Easy Peasy
My wife and I love cooking on our new GE induction stove. We are amazed at how fast water boils and how easy the cleanup is for our new stove. One great feature is that the stove actually turns off by itself once you take a pot off of the burner! You can even place paper towels underneath a pan while it is cooking to save cleanup once you're done.

Believe what you hear about induction
On the recommend of a friend I have been looking for a way to try induction technology. I found a closeout GE Profile cooktop just as I moved into a rental and replaced the radiant cooktop with induction. JUST WOW. It is so fast and easy to use. Intuitive controls and even a built-in timer.
My wife just used it to do canning and it took a while but it boiled a 4gallon pot of water. Frying and saute are faster than gas and you can put a paper towell between the cooktop and pan and have no scratches/mess.

Size of 2 medium burners
We got the 4 burner induction stove top…30 inches. We bought a new set of beautiful Caraway cookware. The 3 quart, 8 inch diameter does not work wi these pans despite it completely covering the burner “circle”. With 2,site visits and a visit from the appliance store technicians, and change in junction box it still does not work. I had a 5 burner stovetop prior to the devastation of Hurricane Ian. It ended up being replaced with the 4 burner (not what I ordered) and I do not like it nearly as much. Also the surface scratches much easier than the one I had before despite using approved stove top cleaners.

Good morning,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review on your 30" induction cooktop- your feedback is valued, and very important to us here at GE Appliances.
With that being said, we're so sorry to hear of the trouble you've had. This is definitely not the quality that we expect, and we truly apologize for any disappointment or frustration this has caused.
Before using the glass cooktop for the first time, it is recommended to clean it with an approved cooktop cleaner, like Weiman's or CeramaBryte Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner. This helps protect the top and makes cleanup easier. Daily use of this cleaner will also help keep the cooktop looking new. Other cleaning creams may not be as effective. Use of sponges or cleaners other than those recommended can result in damage to the cooktop.
Normal Daily Use Cleaning:
If using the cream version of CeramaBryte® Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner (WX10X300) or kit (WX10X117GCS) which includes cleaning pads and scraper), shake the cleaning cream well and apply a few drops directly to the cooktop. If using the spray version of CeramaBryte® Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner (WX10X391), spray a small amount on the cooking surface. Make sure the surface is cool to the touch.
Use a paper towel or CeramaBryte® Cleaning Pad (WX10X350) to spread the cleaner across the entire cooktop surface or soiled area, applying pressure as needed.
Use a dry cloth or paper towel to remove all cleaning residue. There is no need to rinse; however, it is important that you do not heat the cooktop until the cream has been cleaned off.
If any soil remains, repeat these steps as needed.
You can purchase the CeramaBryte cleaner on our Parts Store website at the link below:

We hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you should ever have any issues, questions, or concerns. Thank you for your review, and for choosing GE Appliances for your home!

Works wonderfully, scratches to easily.
The cooktop works wonderfully as long as use ferrous based cookware, but of course that is a given with induction. However with almost no effort the polished steel top and bottom trim scratches and the glass cook surface scratches very easily as well.

Nice stovetop, picky with pans to use
I like the looks and layout of this stovetop and it performs well. This is my first induction so I had to buy new pots and pans... a few times. I of course bought induction ready each time but the first two sets did not work (they need a flat bottom). I also got an egg pan that fit the recommended diameter and flat bottom and listed as induction ready, but alas it does not work.

Really enjoying it
Have had it installed for a couple weeks now. Frankly, I have not had a chance to cook on it because my wife loves it so much that she insists on doing the cooking (I'm OK with this).

G.E. Profile with stainless steel
It cooks great. Cleans up easy. Glad I bought it. All inductions have a little noise to them but you will know that if you read reviews. You don’t have to buy expensive cleaners you can just use dawn dish soap cleans up great. Make sure you read the directions on care before use.

Great cooktop!
Love cooking on induction. Much better than gas or standard electric, faster and more efficient. Looks great in our kitchen. Easy to keep clean. Expensive though and does not last as long in our experience as this is our third induction cooktop. Well worth it though.

Heats up very quickly
This is my first induction cooktop. I do need to pay attention when I am using it, as it heats up very quickly. The only issue I have is that it is hard to see the in burner outline rings under the pot or pan that I am using since the rings are black on a black top.

Simple and efficient
We love how this cooktop responds with quick heating, and lowering the temp is just as quick. Such a great improvement over traditional electric cooktops. I have to remind myself how hard gas burners are to clean up when things boil over and I’m complaining about the scraping and polishing that are sometimes required with any glass cooktop. The only thing I would change about this cooktop is that the size of the largest burner seems too large for any pan, and if it were smaller there might be room for a very small 5th burner.

Miss the 1/2 temperature stops
Previous PHP900 died after winter storm, got closest replacement to fit existing counter top cut. Seems slower to recognize pots/pans than previous cooktop. New cooktop only has whole digit temps (1,2,3,4,etc) does not provide 1/2 steps (1,1.5,2,2.5,3,3.5,etc)
