🔥 GE JP3030DJBB 30 Inch Smoothtop Electric Cooktop: Powerful 4 Radiant Elements, Knob Controls, Keep Warm Melt Setting, Black Review

Don't buy this junk. I bought it a year ago and one of the 8" burners stopped working. I didn't mind as I still had another 8-inch to go on. But lo and behold, yesterday the other 8″ went missing and now I have 2 6″ cookers (candles lol). I don't know what to do to cover more than $400, I only spent March last year! Terrible experience!

Large burner off center as shown in the picture. I paid an electrician to get 220 volts in the kitchen as there is only 120 volts. Now, 3 hours later, after turning on the necessary electricity and installing the hob, he found that it was defective. so unhappy I expected more from a GE product. Now I have to return it and pay the electrician for an extra trip.

If you just fry eggs or boil water, this cooker is for you. If you actually cook, it's a disaster. The numbers on the dial are black on black, making them very difficult to read, and to make matters worse, they appear to only have two heat settings: very high and very low. It seems to burn whatever I put on it because to heat it up I have to crank it up to full blast. It takes two minutes longer to boil water than my old stove, and my old stove is over 12 years old. If my kitchen didn't need a…

Quality replacement hob. I exchanged jacuzzi which was a piece of junk. The only caveat I would like to place is that the under burner cabinet on this GE cooktop is quite slim and its glass edge above the countertop line is very narrow on all sides. So if you're replacing a cooktop that's a little bulkier at the bottom, there's a good chance that even if the finished hole seems to fit, you'll have to buy the $100 trim GE sells separately because of the edges of that unit on the counter are…

Personally, I'm not a big fan of the glass hob. However, as tenants, we inherited a damaged hob with broken glass. For safety and aesthetic reasons we decided to replace it. This block was just what we needed. It perfectly fits the dimensions of the outgoing hob. It was easy to install and my husband, who is not a pro at this sort of thing, completed the process in under an hour. Each of the heating elements seems to heat up fairly quickly. In addition, each has a different function than just…

Our hob stopped working after 18 months but we had problems with one of the burners after only 6 months (the ring happened to stop working). One day the whole unit stopped working, an electrician came out to see why and when to put the fuse back in (when the hob stopped working the fuse blew and refused to put it back on our electrical fuse box) , a Huge spark flew from the handle! He was completely shocked and screamed! He said it was a very dangerous situation. We were never offered a…

I have an old house with a counter cut out for a 30 inch cook top. Maybe then the cutouts were bigger, but this knot didn't fit. The actual dimensions of the glass top are slightly smaller than shown here. For example, it's not exactly 21 inches, but 20.75, and not 30 inches, but 29.75. that's enough, when i tried to install it my eyes hurt. A fairing set is available but it should have taken over 2 weeks to be delivered and it was an additional $80 plus shipping that made the decision to…

Replaces the previous GE Smoothtop cooktop after 23 years of trouble free service. (It broke and it would have been more expensive to fix than replace.) I ordered this one and it arrived in two days. Although I was nervous, I managed to install it myself. It looks good and works well. If I had never had the predecessor, I would find the new one perfect. BUT with the previous one I have two minor complaints. First, the new one takes longer to heat up than the old one. Whether you're cooking an…

Update 05/2020: It took so long. Since the first review and until now. The large front burner will not turn on now, but the signal light will remain on. So now I have to figure out how to replace the burner. I wanted to have such a (smooth flat plate) forever. I thought this would be the solution to all my troubles with keeping my cooktop clean. But I was wrong! This thing pounces on food like it's nobody's business. This happens within seconds before it has time to cool down so it can be…
