Customer Reviews for GE Profile 36 in. Smooth Top Electric Induction Cooktop in Stainless Steel with 5 Elements

I am very happy with it and it has one more burner than the old one.

kind of let down with this unit. the touch sensors are kind of picky it takes alot of poking to turn it all the way up. the large burner is not very good i have a pan that is large and fits it but it doesn't get hot enough. and some times when you put two pans on one side you get a very annoying humming/ pulsing sound coming from the unit. and it's loud enough that my guests have commented about it.

I like to cook on cast iron so this induction cooktop was a perfect fit when remodeling my kitchen. It is super fast at heating my pans, yet cools just as quickly. The stove top is easy to keep clean and looks very smart in my kitchen. Giving operation instructions to my stay-over guests has not been an issue. Even my 12 year old granddaughter found it simple to use. My only caution is don't run away as foods will cook faster so stay nearby and monitor whatever you are cooking. It won't be long before you bring a delicious treat to the table.

We love our Stovetop....it is super efficient; cooks fast and well and I never have to worry about burning my pots and pans because the heat is applied at the molecular level, not by direct heat or flame. Although the functionality is amazing, I would have opted for the Stainless Steel trim - within days of installing the stovetop, a bowl made contact with the side of the glass and chipped it. Now I have to be very careful cleaning the edges so that I don't cut myself and I have to live knowing that the glasstop is chipped. Had I bought the SS trim this would likely not have happened, but I would never have guessed that the glass would break so easily. So....5 STARS for performance.... I took one star for quality. I do recommend this product....but recommend it with the SS Trim.....cheers

Installed about a month ago and we love it. Easy to clean and use. Very responsive to temperature adjustments.

Looks great and works great! Heats water so fast! In love with my new cooktop!

I am happy with this purchased and I will recommend to all my friend

Pros, Looks beautiful, Cooks great. Heat up time is awesome. Heat temps are really high. Cons: Buttons don't always respond, Noisy, No bridge for griddles, when running more than one burner heat times are a bit more sluggish.

I have come to love induction cooking, it's fast and uses lower power than a traditional cooktop. However, the stainless steel edge to this model scratches very easily and you can easily scratch the glass surface of the cooktop if you are not very careful.

Cooks really fast. Induction is the way to go. Boils water in a flash.

Have had it 6 months Cook fast. Easy to clean and attractive

This is a wonderful cooktop! It cooks so fast, you do not even need a microwave oven. It is easy to clean with Cerama Bryte cleaner. It looks very sleek and modern.

3 months old, Performing as advertised. Place to touch for actual "on/off", including "controls" could be better defined. Cleaning was difficult at first but has been easier after some use. Use does require some "getting used to".

Very nice unit. No problems after heavy use for 3 months.

I cannot tell you how much I love this cooktop! Sleek, fast to boil water, very adjustable controls, and scratch and dirt resistant. make sure your induction cookware is completely flat on the bottom otherwise it will hum.

just started using and learning about induction cooking absolutely love it

Large cooking area and room for lots of pans and pots. Quicker than any other cooktops I have owned at getting pans to temp for frying or at bring water to a boil. Quicker than a gas cooktop and more controllable. I finally have a cooktop that can hold something at warm temp without scorching. Still have to stir once in a while just not as often or constantly like a gas cooktop. Gives that extra time to work on addition items for our meals.

I love this!! It Is fast, responsive and easy to clean. What could be better

Excellent product. Looks good, performs well. Recommend.

I had one of the original induction cooktops from the 80's. I had it rebuilt once and when it died the second time could not get parts. I loved this cooktop so much and was so glad they started making them again because I did not want any other kind.

My husband hates this ONLY because it takes forever to cook his eggs...the only thing he makes EVER. I however like it a lot, especially how fast it can boil water. I had to buy all new cookware for the induction, which was fine but costly. It is gorgeous and user friendly, but definitely takes some getting used to. We've only had electric.

I was a little scared of this cooktop. I am used to gas and our new home only offers electric. It's easy to operate, many features, evenly cooks! Very impressed!

I just switched from gas to induction. I have been cooking with gas all my life so this was a hard decision! The two main things that made me switch to induction: 1) Easier to control low point simmer and 2) Easier to clean up. I am so happy with this product!! It really does boil water in a minute and I can really simmer!! My gas cooktop did not have low simmer points so even on the smallest burner with the metal plate over the flame, it still boiled. I am still getting used to how quickly the cooktop responds but I am loving this! AND, I love to cook alot!!

I got induction cooktop in November 2014 because I couldn't have gas. I am so glad I have it rather than gas because it is so much faster and easier. Still learning cooking settings and how to keep it clean.

Love the look and the performance of this 36" cooktop. I found the lock feature to be a real bonus so I don't worry that I will accidently turn on a burner. It's also convenient to have a timer at my fingertips. I do wish the burners were a bit more visible but that's a minor issue. I have researched induction cooktops forever and then I found GE. Very Happy with my purchase!

We installed this cooktop about 6 months ago. We haven't had any real problems with it other than it seems the larger burner circles need a pot or pan that is about the same diameter as the circle in order to heat effectively and quickly.

Love cooking again. The cooktop is fast, efficient, temp is easy to control & top is easy to clean.

This was truly the best appliance I purchased for my new house. Love the induction. Cooks so FAST!!! Easy clean up.

When I shopped for a new cooktop I knew absolutely nothing about induction cooking. I saw an induction stove on the showroom floor. I asked the sales person about it, and after his explanation about how it works I did extensive research on the internet about induction cooking, stoves and cooktops. I read many user ratings for the various brands of induction cooktops. The GE Model #PHP960DM2BB came up as one of the highest rated ones. After much research and consideration I decided to go with the GE induction cooktop. It looks absolutely gorgeous in my newly renovated kitchen! It is a dream to cook on and a breeze to clean. I can't imagine ever going back to cooking on an electric or gas range. I highly recommend the GE PHP960DM2BB induction cooktop to all who are in the market for a new cooktop. Some folks say the drawback is that you have to buy new cookware which have magnetic bottoms in order for the induction method of cooking to work. I didn't think of it as a drawback, but instead as an excuse to get a new set of pots and pans! BTW, it turns out that several of my favorite pots and pans do in fact have magnetic bases, and they work great on the new cooktop. For those who are in doubt, do the research. You'll be glad you did!

This new cooktop is absolutely beautiful. Cooktop cooks items in half the time compared to our electric element cooktop. Recommend to everyone that induction cooking is the best.
