Product review (1 stars): better get an extended warranty - you will need it
Cooktop is 1.5 years old and I've had to replace 15 of the cheap plastic control top knobs so far - they all crack at the sleeve. GE consumer relations says I can continue to get replacement knobs under warranty until May then I'm on my own. Its obvious thats the knobs are heat sensitive and crack after a short time. They offered me a "discount" on a replacement cook top - nice. This came with my new house - checked with other homeowners and they are having similar issues. Metal knobs would seem to be the obvious answer but GE will not own up to the problem.
This will be my  LAST GE APPLIANCE PURCHASE EVER
