When the time came to replace our cooktop this GE model was our top choice … it fit perfectly into the existing counter top cutout … sitting in front of the GE downdraft the elegance and front controls made cooking now safer … the higher washable grilles is a definite improvement as they never get too hot … the ‘power’ burners are ideal for our large stock pots … cleanup is a breeze … goes nicely with the rest of our new GE stainless steel appliances …
