Too crowded

This cooktop was part of a package when we purchased our new condo. I spent 10 years in sales of kitchen appliances and normally have good things to say about GE gas cooking appliances. This top at 30" is a little too crowded and only one burner able to handle a large pot/pan. I'd rather have 4 burners with two of them able to boil a large pot of water. Quality is good though.
We built a custom home and could not get the Profile cooktop that we originally specified, and they suggested this one. Okay, I think I'll like a fifth burner. So when I finally got the conversion kit to propane, I fired this baby up. It resembles the space shuttle on takeoff! Awesome fifth burner for large pots of noodles! I can't wait to try the griddle accessories!
Grates are too far from burner causing inefficient

I didn't read reviews before purchase, however we noticed grates are too high above the burner hence causing inefficient cooking. I hope GE would provide alternate less height grates.
I have had this cooktop for 18 months. The only burner that has any power is the center burner! When I cook on the front two larger burners I almost always have the knob set to high to get anything done. I very seldom use the back ones, just not very useful except to simmer. I'm considering looking for a more "useful" cooktop. Very disappointed considering what this one cost!
we could not look at the cook top prior to the purchase, as this was a builder option. I have seen other customers complaining about the height of the burner grates and how it takes a long time for cooking. I have been using this cooktop for the past 3 years, and it is true, the only burner where you can really cook is the middle one, other burners are only useless, as the pot sits very high above the flame. I love the cooktop, except for this issue, I am seriously considering changing to another brand with lower grate position.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello laxmi,
This is Megan at GE Appliances. I am sorry to hear about your disappointment in your cooktop. We will certainly let our Product Team know about your concerns regarding the grate height. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and hope to have the opportunity to serve you again in the future.
The GECooke top was installed by the builder and it is very bad . Only the center one is good , all the side one are waste and the flames from the side doesn't work properly
