Customer Ratings & Reviews

We have had this about a year. It sits above the counter and somehow the back left corner cracked. The hob has scratches on it and doesn't clean up well despite us using the product that GE recommends. For the price of this I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Other than that the functionality is pretty good but its a bit too easy to accidentally turn it on.

The controls being in the middle and up front is horrible. you cannot move pots or pans on the stove top or they turn on or off. You cannot place baking sheets from your stove on the cooktop for the same reason. The big burner in the back is not smart either. The splash guards behind the cooktop get filthy after every use from the smallest of splatterings. Why they moved the controls to the front from the side where they used to be is a mystery to me. The controls themselves are very hard to work as well. You cannot change the temperatures easily or quickly. They are too difficult to use. You can burn your hand as well since pots and pans when cooking naturally slide forward over them as well.

I purchased this stovetop from one of the big box stores when we remodeled our kitchen. We ended up getting all new GE Profile appliances, and most of them (only had for 2 months now) are great. I don't typically feel strongly towards appliances, but I am deeply disappointed by this stovetop. Before we remodeled our kitchen, we had a Kenmore glass stove top. It was about 30 years old and worked just fine, with the normal cons of a glass stovetop. (Never seemed to get perfectly clean, doesn't get as hot as gas.) We've only had this GE Glass stovetop installed for 2 months, and it is already covered in scratches. I'm embarrassed to say I don't even cook that much, so it it's not from frequent use. I didn't drag pots and pans across the stove or anything, but there are scratches everywhere! Also, no matter how much I scrub and clean it, it always looks dirty and streaky, even when using cleaner made for this surface. The knobless design seemed neat at first, but I hate it. I typically will take a hot cookie sheet from the oven and place it on the stovetop (since it's made to tolerate heat), but anything even getting close to these buttons will make it beep and turn on. Lastly, it doesn't sit flush with the counter! We asked our contractor 5 times if it was installed correctly, and they finally showed us the manual. It's 1/4 inch floating above the counter, and it's driving me nuts. We just spent 8K on appliances with GE Profile and want to show off my new kitchen to friends and family, but I am so embarrassed by this cooktop! Please do not buy!
