We purchased this unit as a replacement for a 15+ year old similar GE unit. All of our kitchen appliances are GE. We have always enjoyed them and had good / reliable experience. This unit is as good and even better than the older unit it replaced. New features and 1 more burner and quieter.... The only suggested improvement would be to have the surface top be the same color of the old unit, which was black with little specks of dark grey. That helped conceal the dust that will settle on the surface (when not being used) no matter how clean your house is. The new unit's surface is pure gloss black, looks cool, but tends to show the dust a bit more... but no big deal. just wipe it off when you notice it... Overall a GREAT stovetop and a good value... Highly Recommend!
