I don't have the cooktop but have the GE slide in induction range. I love it so far. It has only been installed for a few months, though. It does hum with the post on it. I have good quality pots as well as a few from Wal Mart. It does not seem to make a difference if they are Le Creuset or A generic pot. They buzz slightly. I did not want a GE cook top as they require too much clearance underneath for install

I too have had a GE slide in induction range, I use it pretty much every day for the last 2 1/2 years. Love it. I find my pots rarely ever hum. I have some tri-clad Quisinart pots and pans made in France and also use a non stick ceramic frypan. I've been real happy with the oven part too.

When I was remodeling in 2013, we went with a Bosch induction cooktop and Fagor oven underneath. But that's because there were no slide-in induction range se when we were in the market. I don't know if there's any reason to get a cooktop-oven configuration in lieu of a slidein.

Yes and no. I have a GE induction cooktop that I bought probably in about 2008 and it works great and we are very happy. GF has a GE induction cooktop she bought about 4 yrs later and is unhappy. It doesn't heat as quickly as mine and it is VERY noisy esp on high. We've even done tests where I brought my pot to her place and she brought her pot to mine and we boiled the same amount of water. Very different experience. I'm wondering if there isn't something wrong in the wiring on hers as it is so noisy. Note that GE doesn't actually make these but licenses the name to the mnfctr. So I don't know if the actual mnfctr changed between when I bought mine and she bought hers. Or if she just got a bad one.

I would ask the question in the appliance forum.

What cpartist said. There used to be criticism on the AP that the GE induction top required a lot of clearance underneath, so you lost your utensil drawer. So I went with Bosch. But now Bosch makes a full induction range so if you can use an oven under cooktop arrangement, you couldn't beat just going with the Bosch range. My neighbor has it and it is awesome. I do love, love, love my Bosch top.

I had a GE induction cooktop in my last home. We originally had a downdraft vent installed in our home (as well as well as a hood, not sure why!). So we removed the downdraft vent when we installed the cooktop. We had plenty of space in our cabinet for it.

We were pretty happy with it overall. It did occasionally turn off while cooking and were unable to get it turn back on immediately, but it usually worked fine if we waited a bit.

We decided to go with a full induction range for our new home and ended up with a Frigidaire.
