First off let me say I use to have a hand me down stove and after years, I thought It was time for an upgrade, so I was looking at stoves within my budget and came across this GE. Of course you read good and bad reviews but growing up, GE was a reliable brand when it came to kitchen appliances so I took a chance and I love it, it’s way more modern then my old scrappy one, this Stove has actually made it easier for me to bake and cook, of course it took me a while to get use to the buttons,  but it’s so easy to use and i love the features it has a preheat which like i said i had an older one which didn’t have that feature and an alarm that goes off when my food is done and a timer, all these features my older one didn’t have so of course I’m over the moon with this stove.
