Stylish and great function
on October 17, 2012
Posted by: vickiharte17

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a wonderful cooktop that looks great and functions great in my active kitchen. I love the 20K BTU burner, it creates an amazing sear, and the ability move heavy pots across the burners without having to pick them up (aka: drag them) is clutch! I am a foodie and having a cooktop that elevates my performance in the kitchen is invaluable. My ony complaint is that the knobs melt. Why, for a premium product, would the knobs have a plastic coating?
I have recommended this product as the pros out weigh the cons exponentially.

Cooking grates TOO HIGH over burners!
on March 29, 2013
Posted by: TNDave70
from Dandridte, TN
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This would get an excellent rating if the grates were not so high over the burners. The flames are a long distance from the bottoms of the cookware, even on full high setting. A HUGE amount of the heated air streams up around the pots, heating the tops of the pots, handles and air around the pots so that you need hand protection to pick up or move the cookware. It takes longer to boil water than the electric cook top I replaced! That was totally unexpected, and saddening. I have had gas ranges/cook tops before, this one is the least efficient of any at heating.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought this cook top 1 month ago. The plating on the knobs is now peeling off and the plastic in the knob is melting.

Too crowded
on June 17, 2016
Posted by: Wineman 45

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.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Only one burner gets hot enough
on September 27, 2016
Posted by: Vincent W
from Edmonton, AB, Canada
I'm very disappointed with this cook top because only the big centre burner gets hot enough to boil water.
The four other burners don't give off enough heat unless you boil only a cup or two of water, but that makes these burners unsuitable for a lot of things. If you need to fry potatoes for example you need the big burner in the middle or the potatoes will take too long to fry and will end up greasy. Unfortunately if you're already using the middle burner for something else you're out of luck.
I find myself constantly switching things to the middle burner to get a little heat and speed up the cooking process.
I also asked my appliance repair guy to see if he could increase the gas flow but said these burners are not adjustable and the thingee underneath is not replaceable, whatever that means. Bottom line, he said I'm stuck with it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Very disappointed with GE
on July 16, 2017
Posted by: Srini_bv
from Dallas, TX, United States
As many have said, the stove has only one functional burner for any cooking that needs high heat. You can somehow manage with this shortcoming but the biggest disappointment is the flimsy knobs. They plastic stem breaks every few months. We have had to replace three sets in about a year's time. And these knobs are very expensive to replace on top of the bad quality. Very, very bad. Please don't buy this stovetop. Disappointment guaranteed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Terrible design -useless
on October 15, 2017

I hate this cooktop. It has one large burner in the middle, but if you use it, you can not use the other 4 burners! Only a very small sauce pan will fit if you have a large skillet on the center burner.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
