We’ve only had this stovetop for 4 years. The knobs are made of cheap plastic not stainless steel like the stove. They stained within months of us having this stove and we can’t get the stains out so my stovetop never really looks clean. now the knobs are disintegrating. I don’t know why GE put such cheap knobs on an otherwise very nice stovetop.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The knobs are heavy plastic. I've owned it for two years and one of the "stems" that comes off the unit which the knob slides onto, is broken. I'm having to pay someone to come repair it because of course, warranty doesn't cover anything mechanical after 1 year. You cannot clean down inside where the stem/knob sits.

Hello Kthomemaker - Thanks for posting your review. Your comment for improvement with the knob design is appreciated and we'll be sure to share your thoughts with our engineering staff. Thanks for choosing GE Appliances!
So my cooktop knobs began cracking after about a year. they don't control certain burners any more. Now the safety knob, which I have used maybe a dozen times also has cracked an no longer works. With the premium commanded by the Cafe line, it is unbelievable that such cheap hardware would be introduced. I purchased the entire line, so can't easily just replace the cooktop. Hoping GE/Haier will make this right!!!

This range is less than 1 year old. Every knob on the range has cracked and broken. The stem of the knobs are made of plastic. Don't remove them for cleaning, they will break.
Despite what the engineers say from former reviews, the grates ARE too far away from the burners so it takes forever for a pan to heat. I start everything on the middle burner and then move it to a slower one. In addition, I bought this model three years ago and one of the knobs broke already. That is just poor quality workmanship. They are expensive to order.
