I bought a flat top just like this and lasted almost 13 years.
Im not so crazy about the knobs cause they are so large but less likely to turn on accidentally vs the flat top.
Most of my dissatisfaction came from.the time it took for it to be delivered. It not being delivered on the day it waa supposed to be delivered and no one calling me to say they couldnt make it.

This cook top is sleek and adds elegance to a kitchen. Tons of compliments on it. Very satisfied with its cooking ability. Boiling is slow, but once you get the hang of transferring from electric coil or gas flame to using a ceramic cook top, cooking is a breeze. I rate it strong in these areas.
What I don't like: this one is very difficult to clean. It is not as responsive to cook top cleaners as one would hope. And getting rid of cook top cleaner polish smears takes forever and a day. It is not as easy to buff clean as the instructions imply. That said, it is still easier than cleaning oven pans on a gas or electric coil stove. You will need a scratch pad made for glass cook tops and you will need the scraper made for cook tops. Never let old spills and smears stay on too long. And wipe off as many spills with damp paper towel and dry BEFORE applying polish cleaner. Knobs are very hard to get back shiny.
Also, cook top will scratch easily---small annoying marks that are not seen until bright light illuminates, but still.
I enjoy it and would not go back to electric coil. I would go to gas, so if you can get one in gas, that is what I would recommend. This one so far, is as good as any electric on the market today. I have only had it in use about 8 months, so bear that in mind. I can not yet comment on durability. If you were to purchase this one, I recommend getting the stainless steel trim. Would be even more beautiful. Mine is black in an all-white kitchen and blends nicely. Just the right size---5 burners is really all you need.

This cooktop is exactly what we were looking for in our new kitchen! Our builder was shocked that we could still fit a drawer below the cooktop because it is such a slim design.
We love the arrangement of the burners and the size options they provide. We are able to cook multiple items at a time. We link it so much, we are ordering another for the new house we're building next year.

My wife loves it therefore I love it. It looks nice and was a good value. Seems to cook well and I like the warmer but I read others don't. We are happy with it.

Excellent Best Buy came to my house for onsite first told me which ones would work and said this one was almost perfect fit. It is perfect and fit in my space. Thank you Best Buy and Geek squad for making this easy.

I would give zero if that was a choice. This is an extremely unsafe appliance. Note that i always go out of my way to buy GE appliances so this was a huge disappointment
one of the burners was not working from the beginning , i did not bother to call about it as i was busy . Only two of the burners are any use for cooking , the other three are only for warming . After 1 and half month of use (yes that's right , just 1.5months of use ) the two main burners stopped working. After three service appointments , the two burners worked, by evening one of it stopped working again and there was a smoke coming out . I called again , after two service appointments (3 weeks) the tech finally opened the appliances and the wire was burnt inside the sealed metal housing , it was in contact with the metal housing and completely burnt out. Note that this was not burnt , the first time it was opened and repaired. Is it a defective design? Why would it burn inside, same day after a service appointment? I repeatedly called and said it is a safety concern, but they don't care.

This GE cooktop was given solid ratings upon review. It is attractive and easy to clean. The burners heat slower than the previous cooktop. The warmer feature is an asset. I have found it particularly useful for heating plates prior to serving hot foods. Unfortunately, the dimensions were smaller than the space available on our countertop, and the product was returned. I recommend having a Best Buy associate measure before installation. Because I chose that option, a return and exchange was easily accomplished.

The cooktop was for a new kitchen remodel and fits in
perfectly. It's easy to clean and works exactly as it said in the description. The edges are finished off and it slid in
easily into the new cabinet that was made for it. Is very efficient, cooks food perfectly. Highly recommend.

Burners are too close to each other to cook at the same time using bigger pots. The middle burner is too big to use for regular cooking. GE should look at their design.
Otherwise, the product is good. We also had a positive experience with the purchase at BestBuy as well as the delivery.

Had to have it repaired right off the bat. The large burner switch was bad. The burner stayed on high even when I turned it all the way down to low. The warmer burner doesn’t get very warm either.

Ah...wonderful stovetop, you brought us into the 21st century. This replaced a 44 year old island cooktop. Do I have to say anything else? It hasn't taken a scratch, does the job, nothing fancy. It does have a quick boil section which is handy. Cleaning isn't bad either The first boil over was easy. We let it dry, used the little razor took and a glass cooktop cleaner and done. You know what works really well to clean these? Magic Erasers. Thank me later! Not expensive, so they don't go on sale, but well worth the money you spend.
