Greats features and excellent product

Great gas cooktop does the job well!!

The stove is great to cook on. Each burner gets hot and does a great job. Clean up is easy

Great gas cooktop

This product continues the standard of a great kitchen appliance. Our previous GE profile gas cooktop lasted 20 years, and this replacement upholds the excellence GE provides. The controls, burners and ventilation are excellent. The new design of flat tempered glass with cast iron seasoned grille is elegant and very robustly functional.

Glass topped gas stovetop

I loved my previous stovetop. I only replaced because of multiple issues with being over 25 yrs old. This new range top is beautiful but lacks the functions of the previous. I find it harder to clean with the glass top. Same brand as previous so hoping for as good as service.

Installation of stovetop

This was an installation nightmare. The brackets from GI did not match. I had to hire a master plumber to insure the fit. He was here for 8 hours and it cost me more than expected to fix the mismatched brackets and insure there were no gas leaks.

Great replacement cooktop

It's hard to find a replacement for a gas downdraft cooktop, but this one is great! Burners are stronger than previous cooktop (not GE). Downdraft works much better, doesn't pull flames from burners. The burners are set higher above the surface than previous one. Easier to clean around igniters. Glass surface is nice, but hard to clean around the knobs.

Easy install

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very easy install very good directions proper documentation cooktop worked great

Not an exact replacement of prior model

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had the prior GE profile cooktop with downdraft. GE said it will align and fit as my old one. This is false. The installers GE sent were clueless as to how to assemble the fan unit and the new model will not align to your existing venting in your kitchen island. The previous model had a round exhaust opening the new model has a rectangular open and the openings are not located in the same orientation. I had to custom fabricate venting to...

Great stovetop! Minor installation issues.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I installed it myself as a homeowner and would give it five stars except that the holes for the four screws for the two under stove top brackets were stripped so all four screws would spend but would not come out. They just kept spinning in place. I finally got them out by forcing a thin metal putty knife under the screw heads as I spun the screws with my drill. Also, I had to use acetone to remove the residue left by the warning label that sai...

Still Missing Parts 14 days later

This is an attractive looking cook top despite having plastic knobs. But it arrived missing 8 parts and I am still waiting for 4 parts fourteen days later. $2500 disaster. Limited help from store. Still waiting for GE parts despite multiple calls to GE service center.

Wonderful Stovetop!

Beautiful stovetop! This stovetop has elegance and a timeless look. The glass top is easily cleaned and looks seamless.

Good cooktop.

We had the same brand type cooktop when we built the house 16 years ago. It cracked, so we went with the same exact one. It cooks great. Looks beautiful. Is very hard to keep clean and every little splatter shows. I also struggle with food dropping down into the downdraft. Overall, am happy with the product and would recommend.

As advertised

As advertised and now they want more characters...

Really like the control it provides for heat

Really like it! Brings water to a rolling boil quickly and keeps it there. The Rangel of low simmer and high heat burners allow for great control. Only issue, and it’s a small issue, is that the knobs and burner covers are Brett’s cheap and will likely need to be replaced at some point.

Features are the same as the last GE unit we had.

I think this unit has stronger gas flow than the last GE unit we had for 20 years.

Pros and Cons

1. The grates on the burner are not shaped to allow round bottomed woks because there is a metal plate at the center. Therefore you have to stick to either flat bottomed pans - same limitation as an electric hotplate 2. If your milk boils over, it goes all over the flat glass and can get into the downdraft very quickly. I had to scramble to stop the boiling hot milk from flooding the downdraft. Not a safe situation. 3. Glass bottom is a different look and easier to wipe clean/shine.
