I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A REPLACEMENT STOVE WHICH HAS THE SAME FEATURES AS THIS FOR OVER A YEAR. THE PRICE HAS REMAINED THE SAME FOR THAT LONG. I DECIDED TO PURCHASE IT BEFORE THE PRICE ROSE OR DISAPPEARED. I LOVE IT BECAUSE IT HAS THE BASIC FEATURES I WANT, IS SIMPLE TO OPERATE, AND HAS THE GE BRAND. IT HELPS TO HAVE MOSTLY POSITIVE, SATISFIED REVIEWS FROM PURCHASERS. I AM EXTREMELY PLEASED TO HAVE IT IN MY KITCHEN.
