What's great about it: Induction, fast boiling, fast cooking, sofisticated look, clean easy.
What's not so great: breaks too often
I love induction. After using it for a while you really don't want to go back to the past to the regular electric cooktop. This is a great range but when it's working. Right after the installation 2 of the units were not responding. Called GE, the service was fast and it was fixed within 3 weeks. A year later the other 3 units stopped responding, called the service again. Have to order the part 3 times. Two times were getting a used part. The third time the part was brand new but during the installation something went wrong and the whole range stopped working. We've been offered a money back. Right now is in the process of getting a check. Thanks God that I bought the extended warranty. So we have to buy the portable range until this all will be straighten out. However looking on-line I don't really see any alternatives in induction cooktops. This cooktop has a really sofisticated slick modern look, fits great to our brand new kitchen, cleans great, not getting too hot and a safety is a very important to our family with the small child. Cooks and boils so fast and it's just fun cooking on it. Also for all other cooktops on the market we would have to make the whole in the granite bigger, that is really not an option. So we kinda stuck with GE, which I don't mind, if it would work all the time. I still recommend this range but make sure that after a year you buy a warranty.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Everyting
What's not so great: nothing
It is everything as described. If you ever have the chance to go induction do it you will not regret it. You do have to watch your cookware, If a magnet will NOT stick to the bottom of the pan it will not work on induction.
This cooktop will boil water in the 90 seconds. I love the fact that it is flat, no knobs, lines, creases for grease to get in at all. this is very easy to clean, simple to use and you cook time will actually shorten compared to conventional electric cooktops. My only regret...... why did i wait so long!

What's great about it: Everything in the description, plus
What's not so great: Can't use just "any" cookware, controls can be finicky
You need to have cookware that has bottoms that will attract a magnet, not hard to find but if you want non stick then "Circulon Infinite" is it that I've found and bought. This cooktop is fun to use! Oh, it cooks great too. For a complete explanation go here- http://theinductionsite.com/
