I couldn’t see this stove in person so I took a chance on it. When it arrived, I was pleasantly surprised. Good quality stove.. The main screen could of been color, but I guess the “old style” type screen is easier to use and see (see pic). GE could of used thicker gauge stainless for the storage drawer. (It’s paper thin (24 gauge at best). The oven door sort of soft closes so it doesn’t slam like my last stove and the light turns when you open it. The top of the stove is black as well as are the touch screen controls (see pic). It is a bit difficult to keep it from smudging however. Stove is a slid in unit but the edges of the stove don’t extend over the counter and there are no pieces that they sell that can do this (see pic with the spoon between the gap). With that being said, if you spill something onto the glass, it can run down the side of stove and cause a real mess. Changing the microwave next, but I ended up getting the Whirlpool with convection. I really didn’t like the GE one with convection since it felt and looked very cheap. I guess I will just debadge the microwave so the Whirlpool name is staring me in the face. It would be nice if GE made a microwave the matches the stove in quality and looks. Anyway, the stove boils water extremely fast, simmers very well and in general works great. The geek quad is excellent—professional—clean and courteous.

Excellent product. We only have electric as an option but wanted the cooking control of gas so we elected to get an induction range.
Works as advertised. The large burner can boil water in as little as a minute. Excellent heat control not quite as good as gas but close.
Really nice to have all the burners and control “smooth”. Makes it very easy to clean plus the lockout button for the controls makes cleaning that area very easy. Also, has controls to use 2 burners together for a grill or griddle.
Also gives you a good excuse to get new cookware :) as we had all aluminum cookware which won’t work on an induction cooktop.
Very pleased. Highly recommended.

Okay ladies and Gents. I've had this unit for a year and here is my review of it.
Induction is awesome! We had a gas stove and decided it was time to make the switch. If you do a lot of tossing of the food in the pan where the pan comes off the cook surface a lot, stick to gas. When you remove the pan from the cooktop the safety feature triggers after a second and turns off. Safety feature. The surface is easy to clean and if you are a messy cook I would recommend cleaning after any heavy cooking because you do not want to place any of you're induction friendly pots and pans on the dirty cooktop because it will stain/discolor the surface and water will do that as well. make you sure never put a wet pot on directly on your induction surface. Always wipe down the surface of the pot coming in contact with the stove. If there is any splashes of say oil wipe it all up before placing your pots on it. If your pots are not induction friendly keep in mind you will need to drop money for it. Cast-iron pots and pans work great!
I recommend Cerama Bryte cooktop cleaner (paste clean takes off all the gunk) and cerama bryte touchups (spray for inbetween clean up.) I buy mine from amazon. you can use a paper towel or microfiber towel to clean up.
Another key feature, the lock button for the controls. EVERY UNIT SHOULD HAVE THIS! but they don't. We use the lock button so our son doesn't play with the buttons and turn on the oven or stove. The other nice thing about it is, when you are cleaning up the touch panel which you will from splashes from oil etc. you should lock the panel so as you wipe you don't turn everything on. The lock button activates/deactivates when you hold the button down for 3 seconds.
What I fear...
The oven is like any other. Convection oven just has a fan where it circulates the air for even cooking not thing special. you're mainly buying this for the induction stove.
My brother has the same unit just 1 gen older. His panel did go out after 3 yrs which I hope doesn't happen to me. The panel went out and they were unsuccessful in troubleshooting. Keep in mind he did buy the extend warranty, but unfortunately it kicked the bucket not too long after the warranty ended. He ended up buying another brand. Once mine goes out I will update.
anyway, I hope this helps and good luck!

Love the induction. It does however make a clicking sound which makes me question if it is working properly. Easy to clean. I have a pan that has warped...will not longer work on the stove top.

We'd been looking at induction ranges for a while, so, when our oven started acting up....
We chose this model because it seemed to be highly rated overall, yet the price at Best Buy on sale was reasonable.
It is easy to use. The controls are intuitive. Love the responsiveness: heats fast and when it's turned down, it happens "now". Those who haven't used induction will be amazed at how fast it can boil water. cThat said, we had to get used to having the "burners" turn off when we pick up pans to swirl things for more than a second or two.
Some people are bothered by the slight noise that induction cooking can make. Unless the kitchen is deserted, we hardly notice it.
The oven heats quickly and cooks/bakes beautifully.
Haven't used the app for remote operation yet, but others may find it useful.
One suggestion for new owners: cookware matters. The set that is full tri-ply works much better than the pieces that are magnetic only on the base. And, if you prefer non-stick (say, for a griddle), the choices will be limited and expensive.
Finally, kudos to the delivery team. We were the last stop of the day. They arrived in the window. It was a bit of a difficult install and it took a bit longer than expected. Still, they were very professional and didn't mention the hour. They took the old range with them and left the kitchen in the same condition that they found it.

We are super happy about this purchase! Everything about it is wonderful. We replaced a duel fuel unit. This is faster and more responsive than gas. The technology is fantastic. Cleaning the stove top is a breeze. Since the burner is in the back of the oven there is more room inside. It has a modern clean look.

I had a Fridagare professional gallery series smooth top for 24 years. The top cracked for no apparent reason. It could not be fixed. The warranty program I have offers what is competitive at that time. The stoves they offered were not that great. After searching and reviewing, we stumbled across this one. Even though I had to get new pans due to being an induction, all I can say is why I didn't buy an induction years ago. So far, this has been very good. It has WiFi & Alex enabled which I have only used to preheat or turn the oven off. It has some built in baking categories, which I have used. The convection is fantastic and much more up to date than the older ones. Baking cookies in older models, you would have to constantly rotate and change rack position which was a pain when a cookie can only back for s 10 mins. With this oven, there is no need for that. You will not go wrong with this purchase

I have had this range for a year now. I really wanted an induction cooktop, and this one delivers. I also like the looks of this unit. It came with a set of free cookware which was shipped and arrived very quickly from Houston. Even though it is a slide in, it is more like a stand alone than some slide ins. I bought GE because of reliability ratings from Consumer Reports. I haven't had a second of trouble and don't expect to for a long time. I would highly recommend this range if you're looking for an induction range.

I like the stove even though we had to buy all new cookware, nothing we had except the cast iron would work on the induction stove. If you use a cast iron the stovetop does get hot! The stove top will get a little warm with the induction pots but nothing like the cast iron. The touch controls take a little getting used to, we tend to turn things on when we are cleaning it. But the stovetop will turn itself off IF there is not a pan on the burner.

Like the element placement on the cook top. The only issue would be that it is hard to clean off the control panel without turning them on. But I do like the ease and amount of control. So far, think it's great.

This range / oven has a nice contemporary look with the smooth control panel and lack of knobs.
The induction range takes a little getting used to if using for the first time. It is important to remember that it is the pan/pot heating up and not the range burners. It is best to start on low-to-medium.
The oven is a combination convection / no convection baking, and takes a bit more time to get to the preset temperature, so plan accordingly.
I think the built-in wifi is something to avoid and I have not enabled it. The last thing I need hacked is my range/oven.
I ordered magnetic strips from Amazon to cover the small gap between the sides and my granite countertops... works perfectly.
All in all, this was an excellent purchase and a joy to cook with.

Items start cooking on the range very fast. Have to keep reminding ourselves that it is the pan/pot that is cooking and not the range surface. Unless bringing something to a boil, best to start at medium-to-low and adjust accordingly.
The convection oven is great. But whether baking with or without convection, it takes much longer for the oven to come to the set temperature. Plan accordingly!
We ordered and installed the "Stovetop Extender SE24BLA Oven Gap Guard" (Amazon, package of two) to fill the side gaps between the range top and granite top (left and right sides)...these fit perfectly. Not sure why GE doesn't offer something like these since they've discontinued the ceramic overlapping surface (overlaps the countertop) in favor of only the slide-in range.
Not sure we want to hook this range up to my router (wifi enabled)...don't need it to be hacked :)

I love this stove. The cooktop is amazing. It is very responsive and the controls are easy to use. I seriously considered changing to a gas range, but after reading the reviews of the induction cooktop, I deciided to purchase this one. The oven also works well and cooks evenly. GE is also offering a cookware set from Chantel. The new pans arrived a couple weeks ago and are wonderful to use. I am very happy.

We have been using this for for about 6 weeks or more.The induction cooktop works great and is so much faster to cook with.It used to take our last cooktop forever to get water to boil but this happens so quickly with this.The convection oven cooks so evenly and made perfect cookies with 3 cookie sheets at once .We did have to buy new pots to use as ours were not Magnetic but ours were old anyway and new ones are so nice.

Beautiful stove with easy to use controls.
Did not readily fit in location where old stove came out. The installers did not know how an induction stove top works. Spent 15 minutes trying to check th burners by turning them on and holding their had above the burner. No heat until you put a steel pan on the burner.

If you're on the fence for a great induction Stove. Look no further, this is defintely the one. It cooks, cleans and handles like a dream, and it looks great in a kitchen with matching stainless steel appliances. It's kid safe and very durable.

Well I didn’t anticipate buying an induction top stove but I am very glad I did. I am amazed I can boil water in a minute! I wasn’t sure about a glass top but it has been easy to adapt (have always had coil burners) The oven with its 3 porcelain racks heats evenly and bakes like a dream. I am still learning and figuring out all the options and ways to cook and bake but will say the ability to easily switch to baking in Celsius has come in handy. I also love the clean, sleek look.
