It was last choice from us since we originally wanted a GE range but it wasn't available. This cosmo gas stove is also affordable compared to that GE range so we were expecting a mid to low performance with it but we're very impressed that it's like exactly the same because we also had a GE stove before. Wow, i didn't really expect that this is gonna be quite on par with it. for it's price, it's something that you won't really expect. i can highly recommend this unit!
