Product review (5 stars): OMG, what a great decision.
Love it, love it, love it.  When I was looking to replace the electric cook top in our new home with a gas cooktop, I researched and researched. We decided on the GE Cafe and I'm so VERY pleased.  I was a little worried based on some negative reviews about how it took a long time to boil water, how it was easily scratched, etc.  I learned some things.  Yes, it will scratch. The best solution is to refrain from cleaning it with something that is abrasive. Don't let cooking messes sit there and harden because it could result in scratching when you try to get it off and it could stain the cooktop (i.e., tomato sauce). I use essential oils mixed with distilled water and a soft cloth to clean my cooktop and it cleans up in a breeze.  As far as it taking a long time to heat water, I recommend having a professional install your cooktop. I learned that if there are other appliances using your gas line, it can reduce the flow (the available gas) to the cooktop. If that's the case you may need to increase the gas line (I'm not sure if I'm describing this correctly so talk to a professional) so it will provide enough gas to service all the appliances. We only have gas logs and the cooktop so the center burner boils water super fast.  No more waiting ages for water to boil for spaghetti. The griddle that comes with it is super for cooking sausage or bacon. It's on the small side, so if you're cooking for a crowd, you may still prefer an electric griddle for pancakes.
