      Great Style
      My new GE cooktop was just installed a couple of days ago, and it is wonderful! It heats up much more quickly than my old one, and it is simply beautiful.

          17 years later we bought the same cooktop.
          When we did a kitchen remodel recently, we purchased a similar GE profile cooktop that we had purchased 17 years prior. (Although it was still working, we wanted to update our kitchen with the new product.) We are so pleased with our new cooktop.

            Liked My Old One Better
            I had to replace the GE smooth cooktop that we've had since 2000 because my son broke the glass. This cooktop is essentially the same, but I've found that it's harder to clean. My old one had a slightly textured surface and a lot of white speckles on it. Because this one is so shiny and doesn't have the same surface as the old one, it shows every spot, spill and scorch. It never, ever looks clean. Neither the cooktop cleaner that came with it nor my old, reliable Barkeeper's Friend help. It's still better than coils though.

                Second purchase of same stove top
                Accidentally cracked the first one, I could have purchased another brand but elected to get the same one as we loved it. We never had any problems with it. Works well to our satisfaction.

                      Heating
                      It heats much faster than my old stove, which took some getting use to, however I like it a lot.

                        Love it!
                        This stove top was easily installed by my husband; looks great; heats quickly and cooks well with steady heat. I found that the only thing you have to watch for is when you have something to keep warm - the warm setting will continue to simmer whatever is on that burner, so the heat may need further lower adjustment. Otherwise, I use this top the same way I used my old electric: I DO use my coated cast iron, and my metal heat diffusers on this surface, and there are no ill effects. I am careful to leave them in one spot and not "scrape" them on the top.

                          Everything I expected plus more
                          Original stovetop (GE) failed after 30 years, replaced with this one. Kind of pricey, but the product is well worth it. Very effiecient and low maintainence

                            Flattop

                              Beautiful Appearance
                              Very happy with this cooktop, our first. We remodeled our kitchen in July and installed all new appliances. This replaced a GE electric stove. Like the features and appearance, just wish it had soft-touch buttons instead of knobs.

                                Excellent choice. Disappointed in color. I ordered product in white and my product is not white, however it is the color that appears online.

                                  I can't find any great features on this cooktop.
                                  It is all black and difficult to get used to the knobs for each burner. Every mark shows up on it and I need to use the cleaner to make it look clean EVERYTIME I use it.

                                    We had this cooktop installed last month. I love the smooth top and it is easy to clean with the cooktop cleaner.

                                              I like the finish on the new Cooktop. It's easier to keep clean than my old one. It also seems to heat up and cook a lot faster.

                                                Nice even temperature
                                                Works very well. Pretty uniform heating, the only drawback is the cleaning. I feel like we have to scrape the cooktop everytime we use which it a pain.

                                                  I like the stove top & it simmers without burning, unlike the other stove I had. the white ring on my back plate has lost it's white already but other then that it's ok

                                                        We are a bit concerned about how to clean this new GE Range Top and whether this glass range top is going to scratch easily when using different styles of pots & pans on it, or whether we need to use specific types of pots & pans in order to avoid scratching this range top, and what type of cleaner is best to use in order to avoid scratching this new range top?

                                                            Terrific insulation
                                                            Good cooktop. Easy installation. Great insulation on the bottom---we used to worry about the heat from our old cooktop, but this one doesn't warm up the utensils in the drawer beneath it. Takes more cleaning effort that I thought it would, but still better than the drip pans we used to have.
