This replaced an older model of this induction cooktop. Installation was a nightmare because GE told me the dimensions were exactly the same as the old one (and they WERE exact according to their website) but the new one was thicker by 1.5" and it wouldn't fit until I had some carpentry modifications in my kitchen to lower the enclosure which holds it. After 3 months of use: I like how the new one has white circles showing the burner locations (old one was all black). I don't like how the new one has 2 small burners, 1 medium, and 1 large (old one had 2 medium, 1 small and 1 large). I mostly use medium burners and now I only have one. I do not like the new controls, which have you swipe an arc of lights to indicate the level (old cooktop had numbers 1 - 9 so medium was a 5, simmer was 3, etc.) I have to have it on high (which would be 7 to 9 on my old one) to do any real cooking. When cooking rice I used to simmer on 3 but on the new one it has to be set high (approx. 7-8) or the rice doesn't cook. Lastly, because the controls use a swiping motion to set them, the glossy glass around the contols gets covered in finger prints. The cooktop works OK on the higher settings but I dislike the controls and the lack of an additional medium burner.

The surface has visible scuff marks or rub marks from where the pans sit. This is because the surface is so smooth and shiny My old induction cooktop had a brushed surface and did not have this problem. These marks cannot be cleaned off as they are now in the surface finish.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cooktop is amazing in how fast it heats up. I am enjoying this new item for Mr.

The configuration of our new cooktop is similar to the GE we replaced. The controls are easy to use and we especially like the auto shut off when removing a pot or pan. It heats up quickly and the size fit in the same opening as the old one we pulled out so installation was very easy.

Replaced a similar GE ceramic stove top with a newer model. The newer model does not seem to bring as much heat as the older model. I was told I had to purchase a GE because the other brands were different sizes than the model I was replacing. The configuration is more practical with the sizes I use most in the front, with easy access but I would prefer numeric controls to better quantify and control how much heat I am cooking with instead of notionally thinking I am at about half power.. Based on experience with other products, I am not expecting it to last as long as its predecessor.
