Will never go back to gas or electric
My husband and I built a home in 2008 and we wanted a kitchen with some very nice appliances. This induction cooktop was on the list. I cook daily and we entertain often so we needed a reliable, powerful cooktop. This cooktop is so powerful that I basically had to relearn how to cook things because I was burning everything at first. The burner will heat from 1 to 9 in intensity. Unless boiling something, I never go above 7 unless I'm boiling something. Just like gas, when you turn the burner off, the heat stops almost immediately. When you lift a pan off the stove the control for that burner will blink for about five seconds and then shut itself off because it's no longer in contact with reactive cookware. This is a great function. If you want the burner back on, it's instantly heated again so it's not a big deal if it turns off. The best thing about this cooktop is the way it cleans up. I had an electric stove before with the smooth cooktop and it looked HORRIBLE -- stained, scuffed...
It is perfect ...
You could not get this stove away from me if you were armed with a bazooka. It is beautiful and makes cooking a joy! Powerful enough to boil 2 gallons of cold water in 6 minutes, yet you can simmer perfectly, or even just keep something warm.
You will need a 50 amp breaker, and for that you need 6 gauge romex ... 8 gauge if you can't possibly do 6. Look online and you will find it much cheaper than a home center, if you're doing the installation yourself as I did. Did I mention that this cooktop is POWERFUL?
I was replacing a 35 year old GE ceramic cooktop, and I figured if that one could last that long, I was safe going with GE once again. It was really a bonus that this GE unit was the best looking of the 5 element, 36" models available, regardless of brand. My old cooktop had the stainless steel rim around it, and I elected to go with the totally black model ... so glad that I did. There is no place for grease and grime to collect. This unit dropped...
GE Induction Cooktop is absolutely Fantastic!!!

I love my cooktop already. I have done spaghetti, cooked filling for a cherry pie and done some things in my new Fagor stainless pressure cooker. It is so fast, sensitive and accurate. I love the feature that turns off the burner when you remove the pan. I also love having no knobs to clean around. I am a little scared with the glass top and the danger of scratching it, but so far, so good. I had the old coil type burners before and am not used to this type surface. It is beautiful too. Sleak and shiny. I would highly recommend this product with my experiences so far. I have had it about 3 weeks and love it. It saves energy and cooks so fast.
