Love the gas cooktop, but this is NOT a smudge-less finish and it scratches easily.  Also, the control knobs are cheap plastic with  a “stainless-look” film that scratches off.  GE could greatly improve the finishes on the cooktop and come up with metal/stainless control knobs.  I would not have selected this model had I known these things beforehand. I’m very disappointed with the finish but function seems good.
