Customer Reviews for GE 36 in. Gas Cooktop in Stainless Steel with 5 Burners

Overall instillation went great. There was a couple screws on the side that made it larger than my previous stove so I had to cutout for those. The burners aren't as hot as I expected them to be. I find myself using the center burner a lot even to just do things like brown meat. I have a 1/2 inch line running to the stove but still doesn't seem to put out the power I was expecting from this unit. This is my first gas range though and I've only used it for about a month now. Not sure if all gas ranges function this same way or not. Overall though LOVE the stove.

I bought this cook top six months ago. All I could ask for, works awesome. The only complaint I can think of is that the base doesn't set even all the way around.

Just installed this and I was very happy that the griddle was included. I like the LED lights under the knobs too so it is easy to see when a burner is on. Also, I'm very pleased that the power burner is positioned in the middle back of the cooktop. On my old GE Profile it was on the right front burner which was quite inconvenient. I'm looking forward to using this for years to come.

I've owned this cooktop for 10 years. It gets daily use and I've never had a single issue. This past year I had a small piece crack off of one of the knob posts. I've superglued it back together and it's held so far! Surprised to hear the issues others report with the knobs. I love the configuration of the 36" surface and especially the centre powerboil burner. The dial lettering is starting to fade due to years of cleaning and I have some slight wear on the burners (to be expected if you ever mistakenly slide your pots!). Other than that it still looks and works great! I only checked this site to see whether there is any way to renew the look of the burner grates a bit. I know this exact model is discontinued but I thought I'd add my positive experience with this GE product. For the record, I've never had any issues with the GE Profile built-in microwave and a double (1 and a half) wall oven of the same vintage either. 10 years, 3 appliances, zero service calls.

Size and layout great. Wife uses middle burner for canning and there is still room to cook.

This has been in our home for about 5 years. It replaced a 30+ year old appliance that had never had any issues before then. It had to be replaced because there were no replacement parts! I agree with several of the 1 star reviews. The knobs have been replaced 4 times. The locking mechanism has been checked twice because the knobs would not turn. There are no kids in the house so we never use the lock. The entire heating assembly has been replaced on 3 of the 5 burners. Two don't come on at all. I know nothing is made like it used to, and apparently quality is no longer important but this is really disappointing. Did I mention that there are two eyes that work pretty well so they get 99% of the use and this was even before the 2 burners stopped working. I guess the good thing is I don't need all 5 knobs, ha ha

I've just decided to light it with a lighter because the igniters don't last very long. The 4 smaller burners have required several igniter replacements in only 6 six year, but they are inexpensive and easy to replace. The large center burner is a different story - both expensive and hard to replace, and it has now failed twice.

Love this unit . Only thing for you to improve find a way not to use so much strapping tape on stainless took me at least 3 hours to remove not fun

Every 12-24 months you'll have to replace all the knobs. Currently the knobs are $25 each so figure out the total life cost and you've bought a new stove in 5 years.

Like everyone else. The knobs broke. This ridiculous and a safety hazard.

After 3 years, I have 2 broken knobs due to the heat of pan.

I've had this for 3 months now and I love it. I love how the different burners are different BTU. The center burner is like a blow torch!

I purchased this product about a year and a half ago. It is a nice looking product, easy to clean, came with a handy griddle feature. But, converted to propane, the cooktop is very slow to heat up pots of water for items like pasta, or stock, etc. My large pot, probably 4-6 quarts took about 28-30 minutes to come to a boil. I recently replaced this cooktop with another GE product, an induction cooktop, which now takes the same pot less than 5 minutes and comes to a rolling boil.

The parts on the burners are removed easily to clean the stove top which is a nice setup. The space it takes up though is rather big and I thought the iron skillet with it would be nice, but more of a pain than anything... The knobs provided are cheaply made and break easily after a few years. You would think with the weight of them they would last and be made out of anything but plastic. Maybe thats one of the reasons they discontinued this product

We have had our top for almost 3 years, 1 of the knobs was always difficult to operate and broke recently, they are made of plastic so beware when turning them!

New home build by Khov with what seems to have been a bulk contract deal with this company. Knobs are as cheap as can be and don't last. Replacement knobs are expensive and hard to order. My suggestion, shop and buy your stove. Don't let your builder do it for you.

I bought this cook top around a year ago ,knobs get stiff to turn. the gas valve is broken and also difficult to clean and low quality materials are used.

the wife loves this cooktop. Deep pans and easy cleanup. Even heat

My husband and I had an LG before and switched to GE. The burners are easy to use but the center burner seems to be the only burner that gets super hot. It looks sleek and is easy to clean. No other complaints.

Been using it for three months now and it works well, nice features.

Nice, heavy grates, flames fro very big to very small depending on your cooking needs.

Love the 36" surface! Griddle works great too. Looks beautiful and pairs with all of my other new GE Profile appliances.

We put in a whole line of profile in our new build and are glad we did. Great value and phenomenal product. Could not be happier with our decision!

Great looking cook top and nice burners. The grills are heavy. I got to cut my granite to replace my old GE monogram, make sure to check the dimension.

THIS COOKTOP GETS THE JOB DONE. BURNERS FIRE UP IMMEDIATELY AND HAVE NO PROBLEM GETTING THINGS HOT. WELL BUILT!

We had this installed about 10 days ago and absolutely love it. We replaced an older GE Profile gas cooktop (about 13 years old) because two of the back burners would not light any more. We wanted to stick with the GE Profile for consistency with all of our other appliances and we could not be happier with this product. So far it meets and exceeds our expectations! All of the burners come to heat quickly, I love the simmer burner. I've only needed to use the PowerBoil burner once and it was quick and efficient! I have not tried the griddle feature yet. It is much easier to keep clean than our older cooktop and I love the heavy iron grates. Our installer showed me the control lock feature - great if watching grandkids, I also love the backlit control knobs. Very classy!

Love it Works great looks good , love cooking now

I haven't used the griddle that comes with this cooktop, but imagine it will be a nice feature. The burners have different power levels, so you can choose which burner to use to simmer sauce, as opposed to getting a pot of water boiling for pasta. It cleans up nicely. The grates weigh a ton, but I guess that means they are sturdy. All in all, it's everything I would look for in a cooktop.

I spent almost a year looking for the "right" gas cooktop I love to cook, but my kitchen was remodeled in the 1980's by the previous owner and the cooktop was not up to my standards. Very slow boiling because it was a low BTU unit. The 20,000 BTU center burner boiled my water twice as fast as my previous cooktop. I also paid extra to get the griddle..... I used the griddle feature with the supplied griddle today. It cooked evenly and perfect!
