Customer review summary generated by AI, including incentivized reviews.Wonderful Cafe cooktop
We’ve had the cooktop for about 3 weeks now and it has performed very well. This is the induction model and it heats up very quickly compared to the old radiant cooktop we had. Controls are very easy to read and heating response is phenomenal!

SweepstakesCooktop failures
We purchased the Cafe 30" induction cooktop in August. Over the last month we have had continuing problems with the unit either not turning on at all or turning off in the middle of cooking. We have to go outside and turn the breaker off and then on again to get it working.

Best Stovetop Around.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fantastic product! So easy to use, heats up instantly. So, so much better than my last unit. I love the controls, almost completely intuitive. I didn't have to look up anything in the manual. It was just that easy to use. Quality materials. I have no doubt that this stovetop will last. Very happy.

SweepstakesHeats up quickly!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] With proper cookware, this stove works nicely. Originally, we were having operation issues with our Caphalon pots. Once, we figured out they didn’t work with the appliance, we ordered a new set. All is good and the cooktop performs well.

SweepstakesWhere is the printed manual?
So far, so good. Would have awarded extra star had the unit come with printed operating and care instructions. I don’t like needing to print out from internet.

QUIT WORKING POOR WARRANTY PROCESS
This unit had a failure on 3 major parts within 2 months of use. Requested a full replacement under lemon law statutes. GE CAFE warranty process is horrible. Without a cooktop appliance for 2 weeks at this point and who knows if it will even work then. Would never buy CAFE product again.

Thoroughly mediocre
Unprotected glass edge can be damaged easily. Installed with the rubber gasket leaves it hanging just waiting to be chipped off. The controls are not easy to use. Good luck on getting a blue tooth thermometer, or one that will work reliably. See the reviews on that overly expensive and unavailable accessory. Using the large “burner” at full seems to make the other burners step down a bit, so you have to compensate their settings.
