I looked at several cooktops before purchasing this GE Profile 36" Cooktop Griddle. I like that the grates are very heavy-duty, yet there are 3 pieces that are easy for me to removed for cleaning [I'm over 70].  The burner adjustments are not overly sensitive so it is simple to adjust from a high heat to a low 'keep warm' setting. An added feature I like is there are lights under the burner dials so you can see at a glance if you accidentally left a burner on.  I am just delighted with this cooktop and glad I kept looking until I found it.
