GE - 30" Built-In Electric Cooktop - Black on Black

A stovetop in my price range wasn't on display so I was shown a black & white catalog which described the product and offered pictures. As you can imagine, a black stovetop does not show its details in a black and white picture. Basically, you're looking at a picture of a black rectangle and it's impossible to determine the size of the elements. However, since I was replacing a similar GE stovetop, I bought the product unseen. Everything works fine except the elements are too small to fit a larger pan. Other than that, it's a good value but if I were to do it again, I would pay a hundred dollars more to get one with larger elements.

I just got the cooktop installed today, so my review is to say great install job, Alex. Fast, clean and on time. The power boil is very quick. Response of all burners will take some getting use to, because it replaces a cooktop that was original to the house, built in 1971. But I'm looking forward to using it.

Glass top has too many restrictions according to the users manual. It is attractive and heats up and cools down reasonably quickly. Limitations on the type of cookware it can handle is a turn off. We would not have purchased this item had we been informed of all this at point of sale.

I very much like the looks, but also it is quite good about not burning things. My previous cooktop could go from cool to crispy in a heartbeat. It is an adjustment to find the sweet spot for settings, but when you do the results are quite satisfactory. And the Keep Warm setting does just that.

If any thing gets on the surface while cooking, it's best to clean it asap. Otherwise you have to scrape it with the special tool and then polish it to get the original shine back. Cook top does not fit opening in my counter top like the old one, even though both were 30".

I love the 2 larger power boils rings & the 2 melting options on this cooktop. It boils water for spaghetti quickly. It looks absolutely beautiful when its clean. The only thing I'm changing is the knobs to something a little more fancier. My kids know when it hot because the indicator light stays on until it is completely cool.

this cooktop is working well. its appearance is very attractive and its price is very reasonable. It matches my other cooking ware in my kitchen. Its functions are very interesting and fits in my needs. It needs only very minor cleaning after every cook. I like to use this product. It is very easy to operate this product.

We purchased this around Black Friday and $399 was a great deal! Needed new wiring and a Bigger Breaker from our old cooktop so def check that out before buying. Delivery was terrible, but the units gorgeous and works perfectly!
