While I love the gas cooktop, it doesn’t clean easily without scratching the stainless surfaces. We use microfiber clothes and the only when necessary scrubby. After 2 years the stainless is ok; it’s scratched but not offensive, just annoying as an owner who sees the swirls. The cast iron grates and the flat top are holding up well. We do use them often.
The knobs on the other hand and little locked light are poorly made for such a “high quality” cooktop.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello there, we appreciate you taking the time to leave us your feedback. It is clear how frustrating it would be to deal with some aspects of this cooktop not living up to your expectations, and we are so sorry for the frustration this has caused for you.
We would recommend checking out our cleaning guide for recommended guidance on the care of the cooktop. This can be found starting on page 9 of the use and care manual, linked here: https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-2000965.pdf
We will also be passing along this feedback regarding the knobs to our design teams, and we appreciate the insight. If there are any ways we can assist you in the future, please feel free to reach out. -Elliot@Cafe
