Product review (5 stars): Love the cooktop as well as the range
Love the cooktop as well as the range!  I've owned this range for 12 months now & don't have a single complaint.  Prior to this range I did a lot of research on induction cooktops b/c I don't know anyone who has one.  I purchased a model from Whirlpool and had nothing but endless problems with the oven.  After 7 repairs & A LOT OF HASSLE the Whirlpool was declared a lemon and the store allowed me to put my money toward another range.  (I did not purchase either from Amazon.)  I did a great amount of research this time and purchased this GE  model.  I love the cooktop 100%.  I also love the oven 100%.  The Whirlpool oven had a LOUD fan that continued to run up to 45 minutes after I turned the oven off.  This wasn't even part of the defect.  The salesman & repairman both said this was part of the design.  The Whirlpool range controls were at the front of the burners (near my belly).  The oven fan needed to run to keep the stove controls from overheating.  I like the design of the GE b/c the control are all at the back.  The GE fan runs quietly during convection & turns off when I turn off the oven.  The fan does continue to run if the oven is very hot.  It seems to kick off when it reaches about 350 degrees, which doesn't take very long and isn't annoying.  I wondered if I would like the cooktop controls on the GE.  They are digital and +/- in 1/2 increments.  I do like them.  When I turn on a burner, it starts at 5 (which is in the middle).  I usually leave it on 5, or I can easily turn it up or down quickly.  Overall, I don't have a single complaint about this range, which I don't take for granted after my previous problems.  I love how clean the cooktop stays with induction.  No burned on mess when something boils over.  It hasn't scratched or received any damage.  I bought nice quality waterless induction cookware for around $300.  I also use the convection mode in the oven most of the time. I am a 42 year-old housewife with 5 children.  I do a lot of cooking & baking.
