Product review (4 stars): Overall a good cooktop but....
I love the center power burner, the low simmer burner, and the griddle feature. BUT ..... the reason I haven't given the cooktop 5 stars is that the stainless steel top scratches incredibly easily. After only a week or two of light use and cleaning only with a soft cloth there were noticeable scratches on the cooktop. Heaven forbid that one actually burns something onto the stainless steel! I have other brand new stainless steel kitchen appliances (refrigerator, oven, microwave, and dishwasher) and none of them has scratched. What gives? I contacted GE and all they could suggest was to use a cleaner and polish by Ceramabryte that contains mineral oil. They said to use a paste of baking soda and water to remove baked on food. Helpful to a point but I feel that an expensive product like this shouldn't use such cheap stainless steel. I'm not looking forward to how this cooktop will look after a year of daily use. And I'm sure GE will not be willing to replace it.
