I’ve been using this stovetop about a month and overall I love the cooking performance with no question, however the surface is a bit touchy. I’ve got fine scratches all over it near the knobs. I’ve had Stainless appliances for years and am not accustomed to this type of behavior. I use stainless steel wipes and a flour sack towel to wipe up so the scratches are unexpected.
I upgraded to the GE Cafe for my new home and happy I did. I had never cooked with gas but now I wouldn't have anything else. It has great features including the lighted knobs, a middle burner for larger pots and the lock control to prevent an accidental turn on. I love the included griddle which gets used at least 3 times a week.
I purchased this to replace one we removed after our home was damaged by a devastating flood event in the Mississippi Delta backwater. After months of being flooded from our home, and months repairing damage, this cooktop is amazing. It’s beautiful as well as functional. The griddle, the options available for heating. I have never seen a burner that goes so low...yet will boil all the water in the largest pot! The installers were very impressed and repeated several times how nice it is. This has been a bright spot in what otherwise was a stressful process. I love it!
We had this cooktop installed on a new house. The design is very nice. The burners are excellent and the center burner can boil water fast. Easy to clean too. One slight problem is the grate is a fraction lower than the burner knobs and when we sat a wide pan on grate overlapping the knobs, it rubbed the silver off the knob as they are higher than the grate.
