We purchased this GE® 30" Free-Standing Front Control Gas Range about 1 month ago. Our previous one was just like this one, so we bought this one because it would fit perfectly in the space where the old one was. So far so good as far as our daily usage of it goes. Hopefully, it will last a long time. Not sure how long the previous one lasted because we moved into our condo and it had all of the appliances. However, when our plumber hooked the stove up, he said this model was the same one he purchases for all of his tenants and said it was a good model. He mentioned that we didn't need all the "fancy" things that other stoves have. I trust his opinions because he's been doing his job for over 30 years. Anyway, we're happy with it so far and would recommend it to anyone.
