Product review (5 stars): So far it is working great and is super fast!
We had a GE profile 36" electric cooktop for almost 8 years & it broke last month .... the glass cooktop itself actually broke due to something being dropped on it.  It wasn't repairable or under warranty any more.  We looked into natural gas replacement first but found out it would cost $800 - $1000 just to have the gas line run to the kitchen so we decided it wasn't worth all that.  We opted for the induction cooktop instead.  It fit right into the same hole that had been cut out in our granite counters for the previous 36" electric cooktop so that was a true blessing.  We did have to run higher gauge electrical wire (6 gauge) and put in a larger 220 breaker because the induction requires 50 amp 220 power to ensure that all burners have enough juice to operate on high at the same time if ever needed.  We were able to do that ourselves and it just cost us the price of the materials which was much less than the gas line would have costs us!

So far it is working great and is super fast!  Had to adjust how I was cooking a bit because you can boil water on this cooktop in less than 5 minutes easy. I did have to purchase some new pans but we were due for that anyway.  I purchased light weight cast iron that was enamel coated to prevent scratching of the glass cooktop.  I also bought a Scanpan CTX frying pan.  Let me tell you, that scanpan CTX is awesome & I have more on my Christmas list for this year :)  If you don't want to buy all new pans, you can try one of the induction metal discs that you put on the burner but I didn't see such good reviews for those on Amazon.

We have all GE profile appliances in our kitchen and they have been maintenance free for us these past 8 years so I am hoping that this induction cooktop will follow suite.  I also purchased the extended warranty through Amazon as well.  We also have a home warranty for our major appliances as well in case anything goes haywire.

On a side note, if anyone is interested, I saw an advertisement for induction that showed someone putting a paper towel on the cooktop element and then put their pan on top of that to show that the paper towel wouldn't burn but the water in the pan would still boil.  I'm not that brave (to use a paper towel) BUT I did get (off of Amazon) a set of 4 reusable silicone baking sheets/mats.  These are super thin like a sheet of paper & will work up to 500 degrees with no issues in the oven.  I put one of those between the induction burner & the pan and it was great!  I didn't have to worry about the pan scratching the cooktop and it made cleaning up the cooktop much easier after cooking because most of the "spills" were on the baking sheet & I just washed it off by hand in the sink & let it air dry in the dishwasher for next time.  Definitely recommend trying that.
