Rated 1 out of 5 by Louie S from Complete Garbage!!! Works for one week at a time So I got this thing. Installed it, worked great for a week. Stopped working, waited a week for service from whirlpool, only for tech to come out and tell me they can’t fix as they don’t carry parts. Waited another 9 days for part to arrive. Than another 3 for a service schedule. Tech replaced fuses and it worked. Well here we are !!! A week later and 3 uses later!!! Does not work again!!! So we are now going over a month without a working unit!!! And it’s after hours so we can’t get a hold of anyone. Completely garbage and unexceptional . I’m glad to see I’m not the only one dealing with this garbage.

Rated 5 out of 5 by DorieK from Almost like gas We recently moved from a home that had a gas range that we loved to a home where gas was not an option. So we researched cooktops and chose the whirlpool 30" induction. We are really happy with this appliance, it heats up quickly and is adjustable to a lower temp when needed. Th controls are touch and easy to use and makes it very sleek. The surface itself seems very durable so far, unlike other smooth cooktops that scratch pretty easily. So far it has stayed like new and we use it everyday, many days twice. An unexpected bonus is that we are able to have a large drawer right under it, no need for that fake panel that looks like a drawer. Love it!

Rated 1 out of 5 by Anonymous from Think Twice Was all set for a gas top and the salesman talks my wife into an induction cook top. Looked cool and worked good, for six months and now it is toast. The power module failed and they are back ordered for three to four weeks. Now we are cooking on a Coleman stove in a new kitchen remodel. You decide, is it worth it? For me, no. Big mistake that will not be repeated in future purchases.

Although we purchased it a year and a half ago, due to the duration of our kitchen remodel we had not started using it until last September 2016. One year and one month later, IT DOES NOT WORK!! I am so disappointed in this product. It worked beautifully for exactly one year and now nothing. It shut off suddenly one evening while I was cooking and has not worked since. There were no signs of anything wrong, it worked one second and shut off the next. The repairman came and got it to work for 3 more seconds with a new fuse and then it shut off again. We ordered a new module/ motherboard and had that installed and it still doesn't work. I don't recommend this product, we spent $1400 dollars on a cooktop and got only 1 year use out of it. All of the reviews I read were positive, so I thought it was a smart decision at the time of purchase. We should not have to buy a new cooktop every year. I think we can expect a lot more from a brand name like Whirlpool.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Induction Frustration from Should have listened to the reviews Bought my Whirlpool GCI3061XB00 3 yrs ago. Within the 1st 3 months it quit working. 3 trips from the local repair center fighting with Whirlpool not being able to identify the SN of my unit to repair it under warranty, we finally got it fixed. We only cook on this cooktop about once a month, now 3 yrs later its dead again. This has been a horrible experience. If you figure that in the 3 yrs we've owned this cooktop, its only been used maybe 20 times; this thing has cost me about $40 every time I've used it. Now I am going to have to shell-out more money to get it fixed AGAIN! Crazy....!

Rated 1 out of 5 by Squid69 from VERY POOR QUALITY Have not even used this for a year and a half, heard a pop noise and would not work again. Replaced fuse and popped again and sparks under glass top. Called whirlpool and was told warranty expires after 1 year and could not assist. There are other reviews with same issue and no assistance given. Also there is a recall on these for burners turning on by themselves but of course my serial number is not included in listing so too bad for me. My advise is to look at different brands and better customer service

Rated 1 out of 5 by Prachi from It's stooped working in less than 2 months! We bought this as a part of the kitchen remodel and have barely used it for 2 months. It stopped working last night, while I was cooking. And now, I can't cook and have to eat out again!! :(

Rated 1 out of 5 by Whirlpool Never Again from The Whirlpool Induction cooktop RUN AWAY! We bought a Whirlpool oven with cooktop about 2 years ago. This has been the most abnoxious setup ever. I suspect they test this thing for maybe 10 minutes before saying.. great ship it.

Rated 1 out of 5 by cookswithgasnow from Worked for 6 months part on backorder 6 months We purchased this during a kitchen remodel February of 2020. In October 2020, POP!. No problems with my home wiring or circuit. The unit made a pop noise when sliding the temperature control to High. Did not trip any breakers in the house. Service call, control board is bad. Technician said may be long lead time etc. Fast forward after 6 more months still waiting for the part. Latest is I should hear from someone in a few days about a replacement or refund or solution. We will see. Nice people on the phone of course, but too bad this is the most expensive induction cooktop they make and it appears to have a significant design flaw. Disappointed I didn't see it in any reviews about this on the stores website.
