The GE Profile cooktop replaced an older model that we had for 18 years. I had white, but the new one was not available in white. I settled on black, which goes great on my black granite. However it is difficult to see the lines and always needs dusting. The digital controls on the front are a nuisance. You cannot put anything on the cooktop without it beeping. It also seems to take longer to heat up and does not stay hot as long. Truthfully, I am disappointed with it.
