Pro
Excellent value for money
At its price, this four-burner cooktop performs quite well. The two 8" burners can boil water quite quickly and are very powerful when it comes to searing. The two smaller ones are best used for simmering sauces or melting butter.

Top
Con
Not suitable for 110 V networks
It requires a 240 VAC mains electric network.
See More
Top
Pro
Plenty of temperature settings
While other budget electric cooktops have six settings at most, this one offers just a bit more control over the cooking process, since the knobs possible temperatures are continuous.
See More
Top
Con
No extra features
The GE JP3030DJBB is rather basic. It does not offer extra features like timers, control locks or automatic temperature controls.
See More
Top
Pro
Easy to clean
Because the ceramic glass surface is flat, it's easy to keep it clean. There is no place for debris to build up as even the knobs are removable and dishwasher-friendly, for easy maintenance and cleaning.
See More
Top
Con
No child lock
There is no way to lock the controls at all, so you have to be careful if you have small children in the house.
See More
Top
Pro
Low minimum temperatures
The lowest setting of the burners is low enough to safely do things like simmering or melting butter without the risk of overdoing it.
See More
Top
Con
The surface gets very hot
The surface will stay hot even after you have finished cooking. Although this is common for electric cooktops, you have to be careful not to burn yourself.
See More
Top
Pro
High maximum temperature
The two large burners can hit very high temperatures. They're hot enough to sear a very large steak. If you are new to electric cooktops, it’s better to avoid the high settings in the beginning.
See More
Top
Con
The surface can get scratched easily
As with all of the ceramic glass cooktops, you have to take extra care to avoid scratching it while moving pots around.
See More
Top
Pro
Capable of fast cooking/heating
While it’s not the most powerful cooktop in the market, it still can boil water reasonably fast. The large burners labeled with “Power Boil” can do the job faster than the majority of cooktops in this price range.
See More

Pro
Well marked heating zone
The cooktop has a simple circle that indicates where and how large the burner zone is.
See More
Top
Pro
Multiple color options
The cooktop comes in three different colors: classic black, white or stainless steel finish. However, if you want the white or stainless steel versions, you have to pay more.

Ideal for fast cooking
You can increase the maximum power output for 10 minutes when you begin cooking. This is useful if you need to boil something very quickly and also means you don't have to wait for pans to preheat. Thanks to this option and overall high efficiency, it's ideal for fast cooking.

Considering all its premium features at the given price range, this induction cooktop has an excellent price-performance ratio.
See More
Top
Con
Bad for overly large cookware

See More
Top
Pro
Easy to use
Working with this cooktop is very straightforward. All you need to do is turn it on, put on the pan and set the necessary heat level by touching the control pad.
See More

Takes some time getting used to
If you’re used to conventional cookers, you’ll have to change your cooking habits, as you don’t need to preheat pans or wait for a long time to boil water. You will also have to avoid picking up the pan to flip food as that may scratch the surface and will switch the cooktop off.

Can detect spills
If any liquid gets on the surface, the cooktop will shut off automatically to avoid any hazards.

Top
Con
Prone to scratch marks
You have to be careful as the ceramic glass surface tends to resist scrapes and bumps poorly.

Efficient induction cooking
The cooktop uses induction technology, meaning that it heats up to cookware itself and not the burners.
