Great Cooktop
Purchased this new version after our first one 'exploded' due to leaving a hot lid down on the cooktop. It suctioned so hard it destroyed the glass. Not the fault of the product. We loved the first GE Profile induction, that we needed to get a similar replacement. this one works just as well as the first. Won't make that mistake ever again. We are very pleased with the performance of these cooktops.

    Works well
    First induction cooktop, so far seems to work well. Had to get new pans.

      New GE Profile 36" Induction Cooktop
      I bought GE Profile because of brand recognition and previous reviews. Installing today. Will see how it goes.

        Not as good as older model
        I LOVE this induction cooktop! It replaces an older model with cracked glass. But this model is harder to adjust the heat, and the glass does not wipe clean as easily as the older model.

          Dont buy it. Great when it works. 50/50 chance.
          Has intermittently failed to stay in heat mode on all burners since purchased. Large center burner most reliable. Had service come out, but he did nothing since it worked when he was here. Maybe it's a lemon, but it fails at all the worst times. We stuck it out because had no other option.

              Works like a charm, looks great
              I love this cooktop--it heats very quickly, but is also very sensitive to temperature adjustments. Unlike my previous gas cooktop, when I boil water for pasta, it quickly returns to a boil after adding the pasta. The cooktop is sleek, attractive, and so easy to clean. I also like that it doesn't heat up the room when I cook.

                Good performance !
                Of course any product can be improved but I am fairly happy with this cooktop. The app is stupid - no ability to remotely turn off the elements; this would be a very useful feature for people who sometimes leave the house and forgot to turned off the stove. For me, the ability to turn off the burners remotely is a huge safety benefit, but for whatever reason they have not enabled this function.

                  Induction is the way to go.
                  Cook very well. Adjusted to induction fairly easy, as I’m still learning No more burnt mark (previously from the gas fire) on the outside of the pots. Like this upgrade a lot.

                    Sharp look and easy to use.
                    The ease of use is high, which is important for someone new to induction. I replaced a natural gas cooktop and am still adjusting to the difference, but so far, so good. The look of the cooktop is clean and sharp and definitely increased the appeal and feel of my kitchen. I would definitely purchase the GE Profile Induction Cooktop again.

                      It has a great feature to bridge 2 burners togethe
                      This is my second induction heat cooktop but my first GE. Very easy to use and it boils water very quickly. It has a great feature to bridge two burners together in order to put a roasting pan on it.I would never go back to an electric range. This is better than gas.

                        Works great
                        I love my ge induction cooktop. I switched from a kitchen aid unit and this unit works much better. Heating elements work quickly. Love the look and design

                            Needs improvement
                            I have the php9036st model. The unit replaced a prior glass top ge unit with conventional electric burners. The unit does heat very fast and the burners are easy to select the desired setting. The controls are red when in use. The gray printing on the panel is too light and not easy to see. The tone generated by the timer is much too quiet. I contacted ge by phone and they didn't offer much help. Activating the options menu is not easy or straight forward. The bridge between the two smaller burners provides one single control but there is no heat between the two burners when the units are bridged. Several weaknesses in design. For the price this unit needs some improvements to be more user friendly. I chose it because it fit the cut out from the prior cooktop.

                                Wanted an induction cooktop since I heard of them. Remodeled the kitchen just so I could get one. Looks beautiful. Works like gas, and safer.

                                    Love this cooktop. Was using a gas range and never thought I would be open to anything else. Water boils in just a few min and heat is really even.

                                          Total Cooking Control
                                          I always thought gas cooking would yield finer control. The new induction stovetop is faster to heat and quicker to cool because there is no hot burner that must cool before the cookware cools. Helps eliminate overcooking and burning more delicate foods.

                                                  Slow Heating
                                                  This is the 3rd induction cooktop we have owned- the first GE and it does not heat up asquick as my previous ones. Water takes a lot longer to boil and is like a regular cooktop not an induction cooktop.

                                                  Hello, We appreciate you taking the time to provide your feedback on your induction cooktop. The pans will get as hot as you would like them to, as you set the heat for the burner. They heat quicker than a normal radiant cooktop, but induction doesn't get any hotter. It will also depend on the material and size of the pan how fast they heat up and how long they will remain hot when removed from the element. We recommend choosing cookware made of magnetic stainless steel, enamel-coated cast iron, enameled steel, and combinations of these materials. Please refer to page 14 & 15 of the manual at this link here: https://products-salsify.geappliances.com/image/upload/s--TQKr0pq---/ljagcrg1vmnqwxyk5mre.pdf?_ga=2.153720568.119941983.1690205326-302677575.1657120421 We hope you enjoy this fantastic unit for many years to come.
