Sharp looking cooktop. I would have liked the grates to be closer to the burners. If this is a replacement coooktop fr a older unit make sure you measure twice. The older cooktops had larger cutouts.
We bought this cook top to replace a 9 year old GE Profile cooktop during a kitchen remodeling effort. This cooktop is really incredible and we especially love the middle burner for boiling water. I am amazed at how easily and quickly the burners ignite. In our old house we had a 5 year old GE cooktop but it took maneuvering the burner controls to get the burners to ignite - nothing like this one!
So glad I purchased this model. Works great in the space and I love having five burners with entertaining. Easy to clean and looks amazing. Got many compliments.
Though the burners are of higher BTU, it is taking more cooking time than my old GE gas cooktop because the grills are sitting higher on the flame making the distance between the flame and the bottom of the utensil more. This is also causing another headache. The handle of my OTC microwave is getting heated up - which I never experienced with my old cooktop. GE should have thought of these issues when the designed this.
Very Disappointing! we are NOT able to cook food since we bought this cook-top about 3 weeks ago.
The flames on all four side burners are a long distance from the bottoms of the cookware, even on full high setting, it takes longer to boil 1 cup of water.
We have had gas ranges/cook tops before, this one is the least efficient of any at heating.
