Product review (4 stars): Pricier than the other versions of this knob but does the trick
This knob has a 1 1/16" stem and a metal insert to keep it sturdy. Most other models of this knob have a stem half as long. Unfortunately for me, the shorter stemmed knobs do not work properly - the shorter stem means the knob sometimes will get stuck around the base of the control...not a good thing.

While the shorter knob goes for avg $8 - this one is 4 times as much ($24). It is still less expensive here than through the GE Parts website.

While I am happy with the item, I can't quite wrap my head around why this one adds $16 to the price for 1/2 inch of additional plastic and metal stem.
