Compared to my 1997 Admiral, I prefer the Admiral. This GE has a very thin top, heats slowly and definitely does not get as hot. The burner on light is very small and almost useless. The surface hot light is on the surface and at quick glance can hardly see it. It would be helpful to have it on the back with the burner light. The drawer under oven is small. It’s an ok stove, it’s light weight and it works. It was offered as a replacement through a hone warranty agreement. (Also, the burners are placed so it is difficult to keep a spoon holder on the stovetop without a spoon getting hot)
