What Customers Are Saying

Customers praise the cooktop's five burners, bridge element, fast boiling, and even heating, with many appreciating the modern stainless steel design and safety features like hot-surface indicators. However, significant concerns emerge around durability: many report glass surfaces scratch or crack easily, and several describe burners failing within months. The glass shows fingerprints and water marks constantly, requiring daily specialized cleaning. Front-mounted knobs frustrate users with poor visibility and interference with pot handles. Despite strong initial performance, reliability issues and warranty limitations disappoint a substantial portion of reviewers.

Burner Died after 14months

Would Not Recommend

After 14months of use 01/2025 - 03/2026 the inner burner broke in the lower right hand burner unit. It just stopped working. Warring lasts for 1 year. Maybe that is why. Maybe thy know its a piece of garbage packaged up and sold for $800. Very very disappointed.

LATE

Would Recommend

Nice cook top but delivery for store pick up was several days later than what i was told when ordering. Why tell a customer a date then come up with an excuse for a late delivery. People have schedules to go by but I guess Lowes don't care about schedules.

Was not as expected

Would Not Recommend

We bought this a few weeks back, but it it was less than satisfactory. Started out it was listed as a 30 inch cooktop yet was only 29 1/4 inches so did not fit properly in the replacement cut out. The cooktop had flaws in the finish. We are waiting on our replacement cooktop at this time.

Good selection of sizes (heating elements).

This stove yop replaced an earlier GE version due to a crack in the glasstop. Crack was caused by dropping a cast iron pot on th eedge.

Replacement

Would Recommend

I bought this to replace a GE I bought 4 years ago. The burners on that one were not heating evenly, and it scratched easily. So far, this one is OK, but I have only used it twice.

GE 30-in 5 burners Smooth surface Black Electric C

I received my GE 30-in 5 burners Smooth surface Black Electric Cooktop and I was very dissapointed after waiting a week for the delivery. The cooktop that was delivered the box was opened and the cooktop looked used. The cables at the end had tape of them. I am surprised Lowe’s doesn’t do quality control before shipping merchandise. Then I called the store to request a pickup and asked for another cooktop to be delivered at the same time and they told me it couldn’t be done. Horrible service

Be careful in retrieving stove top from package.

Would Recommend

It was easy to install, but had to wait for cook-top trim to arrive to finish installation.

Simple option. Budget friendly

Simple and easy install. Simple operation. Not a lot of bells and whistles. Need to have pans/pots that are completely clean and dry on the bottom

Ok so far - but have questions

I like the look of the surface and so far (only 2 weeks) it cleans fine. Not crazy about the knobs in front, but it had two flexible burners that I did want, so I'll have to get used to knobs in the way. I read a lot of bad reviews on many different smooth cooktops on different models and different brands - so I'm trying to be very, very careful about cleaning it and not setting anything on it. I didn't worry about my old one...why are we going back in innovation?? Our cutout was almost too b...
