I had / have other GE Products in my home and love the dependability / quality of this product across appliance lines.  I have a (new) GE range and refrigerator, an existing GE washer and dryer.  My previous GE kitchen appliances wore out (were in my Condo already when I purchased the condo in October - 2013.  I am familiar and have had other GE appliances and know the quality / appearance.  I did research and looked on-line and in-store at other brand names as well when shopping for a new range and fridge, but after all the review/research, stayed with GE.  Very glad I did and would recommend them to others.
