Product review (1 stars): Flat cook tops should NOT BE WHITE!!
We purchased this oven / range a little over a year ago to finish off our kitchen remodel.  I've always been a fan of gas cooking but our previous no-frills Admiral flat top range showed us how easy it was to cook with and clean a flat top range.  Having this experience, we didn't think twice about buying a premium GE oven / range.

First off, I don't really have any complaints about the ovens.  The top oven is smaller than a standard oven and perfect for most of the cooking for our family of three.  The double oven feature has come in handy around Thanksgiving and Christmas time and for summer parties.

Also, the range heats pretty well with several zones of heat and a double burner that comes in handy for frying bacon and other breakfast items.

So why would I give this range only one star?  The cooktop is a magnet for stains and is WHITE!  When we purchased this range, perhaps I put too much confidence in the GE Profile name.  They are premier appliances so why would GE even put their name on something that is so impossibly difficult to clean.  OK, I shouldn't say "impossibly" difficult because with dilligent scrubbing, and a special solution, and a razor blade, it can be cleaned (while warm) in about 10 minutes EVERY TIME you use the cooktop.

I think the cooktop is a combination of two poor designs.  First, the properties of the glass allow it to grab stains.  Second, the white surface calls attention to every spill and burn.  We've actually had to thoroughly shine the bottom of every pot and pan to keep them from staining the range.  A boil over can translate into an easy 20 minutes of scrubbing.  Sadly I am not exaggerating - check my other reviews, they are mostly positive and I'm a pretty optimistic guy but this range is a killer.  If you suffer from tennis elbow or carpal tunnel, don't even think about it!

Anyway, for the price, I can't see offloading this to anyone on Craigslist - it would almost seem unethical.  I'm pretty disappointed with GE for allowing this to make it's way into the free market.  Heed my advice, if you really want this oven / range (and likely you're sold on the double oven) at least make sure you buy a model with a black top.  It surely will still stain but at least you can buy a few days between cleanings.  Also, please check GE's website for a great video showing how to clean the rangetop.  They downplay how difficult it is - but you can get a sense for how involved the cleaning process is.  Just imagine yourself doing the cleaning procedure every night that you cook and hopefully you'll get an idea for how insane the cleaning process is.

I strongly recommend you steer clear of this range.
