Product review (1 stars): Epic Fail on all Basic Functionality
Purchased this in August of 2014. Deciding factor for my wife was the griddle plate. It also looks fantastic, and the lights in the handles are really cool. None of that helps the failure and the reason for the one star review.

First, this thing takes FOREVER to boil water. And when it finally boils, you just get a really gentle boil, I have never had it get to a full rolling boil, even with a lid on the pot. After putting your food in the water, it never comes back to a boil for say cooking potatoes. You do lose a tremendous amount of heat and the only explanation I have for this is the height of the grates over the burners.

Second, at 6 months old, the two of my knobs are broken, and they are back-ordered until the end of April. I have several stove/cooktops/ranges not only in my home, but in rental units, and in 40 years I have never had a knob break. The back-ordered situation tells me they are selling ALOT of these, so it must be a known problem, or maybe it is just planned obsolescence. I mean, GE needs a little more profit on top of the taxes they don't pay, right? But hey, they did suggest I use a pair of pliers to turn the two stems to be able to use the two burners that now have no knobs.

This is an epic fail on the part of GE, and will be the last of their products I purchase.
