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

glad we bought it, looks goog cooks fast cleans easy

I did a lot of research and the GE Profile 36 induction cooktop got consistently good reviews. The on/off temp buttons are intuitive to use and stove top cooks beautifully. We had to buy new cookware which we expected. And our existing countertop opening was slightly too big to accomodate the new cooktop. We needed to creat a support system to allow the cooktop to rest its weight on the metal frame underneath the unit, versus the glass which might not have taken the weight. Make sure to do good measurements before hand. We thought we did, but did not take into account the supports must accomodate less than the total inches of the cooktop that are spec'd out. Other than that, super easy install. We hired an electrician for an hour to do so as our house is older. Ordering from Home Depot was a breeze and the delivery guys were great. Happy with our purchase!

We just purchased this cooktop and already are so impressed with it. It was easy to install and very user friendly. We were amazed at how quickly it boiled water (about 1 minute!). I am very excited to start cooking with this.

Easy to install. Works great very attractive . This was a Gift for my daughter and she loves it! It may cost a little more then others but well worth it. DH from West Virgina

I bought this about a month ago and love, love, love it! Would not have anything else. The only thing I was a little disappointed about was the options for pans. I had my mind set on Calphalon pans but not many options there. Wanted some colored ones. But still well worth it.

I bought this induction cook top several months ago and I love it !!

First induction cooktop and love it. Heats very quickly and temp control is quite precise. Only need to use higher settings to boil water. Easy to clean up and very attractive on counter top as well.

I am absolutely thrilled with the way my new cook top works!

Induction temp control is perfect from warm, simmer, fry, light boil, rolling boil. Clean-up is a breeze with a damp paper towel-no more baked on food. Surprising feature, no "laboring over a hot stove" as the cooktop remains relatively cool compared to conventional electric.

I have been using this cook top less than one month but it is living up to everything I read about it. Should have done this years ago. Most of our friends were skeptical when we told them we were buying induction but now they love it and will probably be getting one to replace their gas and electric cook tops.

I love the even heating and the quick clean up as well!

I have always loved gas for cooking. I am now convinced that nothing beats induction. Fast, safe and a great deal of control. Heats very quickly and most impressed with how it maintains warm/simmer.

We have all GE appliances, and when we needed a new cook top, we saw this one. Induction cook top and said that's for us. All smooth on top and quick heating. Looks nice and we are glad we bought it.

I bought it, great presentation and I love it!! I recommend it to families that have kids.

BOTH MY WIFE AND I LIKE COOKING. WE HAD ANOTHER GE COOKTOP WHICH WE HAD FOR 52 YEARS, BUT THIS NEW ONE FAR SURPASSES THE OLD. WE BOTH HAVE COOKED ON A GAS RENAGE AND OUR NEW INDUCTION COOK TOP ALLOWS US TO FINE TUNE OUR COOKING SETTINGS JUST LIKE ON GAS.

Easy to use, easy to clean...sorry I had to purchase new pots and pans though

This was a replacement cooktop, my other was ancient. I loved the upgrade! Smooth, easy to clean and easy to operate. The only thing I'm unhappy with it on is the touch sensors are quirky. Even in the lock mode, I can be cleaning it and the lights tend to flash and it beeps repeatedly

Fast, precise cooking. Easy clean up. Looks as good as it performs. Love this cook top!!

I replaced a GE Profile electric cooktop with this GE Profile electric INDUCTION cooktop. Very happy I did. Easier to clean without the knobs and it really does cook as fast and efficient as gas. I cook popcorn (the old fashion way - no microwave) in 60 seconds flat! May be even less… After reading all reviews on all sites - they are accurate with a 5 star rating!

I have the induction now for 2 months and find it fantastic. From simmer to full boil you are in complete control of the heat.

We purchased this cooktop in Feb 2012 when we purchased our new home and remodeled the kitchen. We love to cook, wanted a 36" 5 element cooktop with a contemporary design and touch controls. This unit fit the bill. Set into the quartz countertop, the cooktop is simple and elegant. Cooking is very fast. Touch controls are intuitive and easy to use. When running on H, the element will emit a low hum/pulse as the temperature in the pot or pan comes up. We did have do buy new pots/pans as our old set was not induction compatible. Easy trick if you have cast iron cookware - place a paper towel on the element, then your pot/pan, as this will avoid scratches on the glass top. First time users should be cautious not to place anything on top of the control area (pan, plate, tea towel etc) as this will cause the cooktop to go into fail safe - all elements will flash E and beep loudly - and you will have to remove whatever caused the alarm, and then wait a moment to touch a control to reset the cooktop. We would definitely stay with induction cooktops in future homes

Gas is not an option where I live. This cooktop is the next best thing! It heats up quickly and temperature reduction is quick as well! Just like having a gas cooktop!

This cooktop is easy to use and exceeded my expectations. It is very responsive and did not take long to learn the best cooking settings for various tasks. It is easy to clean. I actually look forward to using it!

I bought this a couple weeks ago to replace my gas cooktop. It is ABSOLUTELY everything I imagined it would be!

Within the first 30 days of owning this cooktop it broken. Repairman came out 3 days later and informed us the computer system was completely shot. GE refused to replace the cooktop and would only replace the computer part. The computer part wasn't in stock and would take 30 days to come in. After days of constant arguing (and i mean constant arguing) they said they would either find the part or replace the cooktop within 7 days. The part didn't arrive so a new cooktop was installed another 7 days later. So this cooktop has spent more time broken then working - great product GE. The experience with customer service and the total product failure made me call Home Depot and take back the GE dishwasher we had just installed because the water wasn't draining fully and i can never trust GE or their customer service department. so that entire GE kitchen suite was sent back and i went with LG and boy am i happy. so heed my advice skip everything with a GE label and just go straight to LG

works great, cook fast and even, looks grate in the kitchen The induction noise is some time bothering Recommended

I read and re-read the instructions before I attempted to use this cooktop. I was lucky enough that my cookware actually works well on it and I didn't have to buy any new pans. I LOVE it! It's super fast, and very energy efficient. Cleans up with just a wet cloth.

We needed to replace cracked cooktop. Read about induction cooktop cooking like gas. It has performed as good as gas

Am still new to using induction but would highly recommend it. Love everything about it so far!

The breaker is there to protect the wire not the appliance. You can run this on a 30 or 40 amp breaker. you just won't be able to run all burners on high at the same time without tripping the breaker. But who does that anyway?
