We compared all brands and found the GE appliances to be better looking and built better.  Pricing was decent on this model compared to others with lesser quality for the price.  The burners are cook very evenly and the center griddle is great for cooking pancakes, warming taco shells and more.  The oven is awesome and cooks very evenly.  Now when making our home made pizza's turn out perfectly without the burnt bottom and edges like previous stove.
