Had another brand with more bells and whistles which died 5 years out. Decided I wanted a simpler model so I bought this one. So far I love it! Does what I need it to do when I need it. Doesn’t have the fade in&out heating in the elements…hated that! This heats water fast and keeps it going. Stove is a stove. Only have used it a few times. Too hot in summer to heat it up much!  GE is a great brand, wish I would’ve gone with it first!!
