GREAT FEATURES - LOOKS GOOD
I like all the heating element options - the duel small/large ring, the small and large ring options, and the bridge. The multi-speed fan is great.

      OK product.
      Wish it had more large burners for big pots. Also exhaust fan would be nice if it had complete range.

        Great buy - great delivery
        several review sites indicated this to be a consumer 'best buy'. Home Depot offered it at one of the lowest prices I found.

        Three years in - one burner does not work
        The stovetop had been working fine. One day we noticed that one of the red light warning us that the burner was hot stayed on all of the time. Shortly after that, a burner completely stopped working. Two of the controls are peeling their silver covering, so now they are half white plastic and half silver. It's disappointing that a brand name like GE is putting out an unreliable product.

          Sleek looking and Great cooking
          I was remodeling our kitchen and bought this to replace an old JenAire cooktop. Works great and fan is so quiet you hardly know it's on. Burners heat up very quickly. It's not bad to keep clean as long as you don't let grease ect. build up...clean after each use. Wife says I made a good choice..that's what matters most. "Happy Wife...Happy Life"

            Replacement for prior model
            Needed to replace prior model whose burners went out. Nice unit. Attractive. Hopefully lasts longer than the previous one.

              Very Happy with Cooktop
              Perfect upgrade to our dated kitchen! This is an easy appliance to install, my husband and I did in one afternoon. Looks very nice and heats water quickly.

                Excellent design
                This unit works as good as it looks–it completes the GE Profile line.

                    Updated our appliances
                    We like this cooktop, however, spend too much time keeping it clean.

                      Looks good and performs well.
                      We had one previous to this one and it worked great for nearly seven years with absolutely no problems.

                        I replaced my old cooktop and am so glad I did. It is better than I imagined.

                          We replaced a 30 year old cooktop with this GE cooktop. I am very pleased with the operational features and the appearance of this cooktop.

                            Works well but one major, significant flaw
                            Burners and fan all work well and as intended. Major flaw is cooktop is near impossible to keep clean. Small spills and drops only smear when wiped with wet cloth-way yo much hassle for this day and age

                              This cooktop looks good and is easy to clean. No more drip pans!

                                  Heats Hot but Hard to Clean
                                  I love the features and look of the stovetop. The heating elements cook very hot which is nice and took time to get used to because my previous oven took a long time to cook, especially boiling water. The main complaint I have with this stovetop is the difficulty cleaning it. I have to use the approved cleaner, Ceramabryte, to prevent any scratching. That's not really an issue. It takes more time cleaning than my old cooktop. It seems residue sticks more and is difficult to get off with just water and requires Ceramabryte after every use.

                                    great feature
                                    I purchased this about two months ago. Arrived on time, installed easily, and the wife is really happy with it, especially the center heat element that connects the two eyes for casserole dishes.

                                      Hard to vent and a little difficult to keep clean, but now I really enjoy it after learning a few things about it

                                        Easy to keep clean
                                        We love that the cook top is easy to keep clean. We do wish the down draft was raised a little because if a pot boils over, the water will go into the down draft. Other than that, we love the cook top.

                                          Replaced older cooktop with this one and it is great. Heats up really good.

                                            Fan control knob failure - Disappointing.
                                            With light use and care, the fan control knob broke of under the glass top. Very disappointing.

                                              Replaced our 30 year old Jenn Air
                                              We bought this to replace our tired Jenn Air. We wanted a downdraft vent again. Love the 3 speed fan, the bridge and the melt feature. Yes, it does show splatters etc. on the cooktop, but I do not have to have it looking perfect 100% of the time. The glass cooktop is a 100% improvement over the old coils and drip pans of 30 years ago in ease of care. My husband installed it easily. The only problem was the vent to the outside did not match the old one, but it was resolved fairly easily.

                                                  High maintenance - low performance
                                                  I am extremely disappointed in this cooktop. First, it is extremely high maintenance. I have to spend a great deal of timing cleaning it after ever single use. On one occasion it took me more than an hour to clean the surface after a small amount of pasta water boiled over. I no longer cook anything with sugar in it, for fear the cooktop surface will be ruined if one drop of sugar gets on it. Also, it is impossible to regulate the temperature--the setting dials are useless. On the large burner, it only has 2 actual temperatures (despite having settings for Lo to 10) it is either on high or practically off. I cannot cook anything above a 3 setting. When I set it on Lo to simmer, it gives me a rolling boil. So, I can forget about ever making a delicate cream sauce on this stove. Also, it does not maintain a constant temperature; instead, it constantly turns itself off and on. It takes 20-30 mintues to make a simple, one-serving size of oatmeal. I love to cook, but now I try to avoid making anything that requires the use of this cooktop. It totally takes the joy out of cooking. This cooktop is very expensive and it does not deliver. It is the most frustrating appliance I have ever used and the worst product I have ever bought.

                                                        Dislike my cooktop.
                                                        I have never hated anything more than my new cooktop. We only had it about a month and got a scratch. It is now only 4 months old. Having knobs it aweful and having the stainless around the edge is another nightmare. If I could return I would. It's hard to keep clean, it's hard to clean. Don't buy one.

                                                          I bought this about 2 weeks ago and have used it about 10 times. Very easy to use and heats quickly! The only downside to this product would be the cleaning. It's not the easiest to clean. Besides that, I love it and would recommend it!
