I bought this GE stove because it was white, made by a name I trust and gives me the very basics I want in a stove. There is not digital programming or clocks to set and that's what I wanted, no bells or whistles. The oven is pretty big, which appealed to me as use my oven very often. The newer elements take a little getting used to. Don't know what they're called, but they have little pop up type middle that turns off the burner if you take off your pot and forget to turn it off. So far, the stove works well. For the money, the stove is great!
