GE PP989 Review

30″ Electric Cooktop  8.5/10

By

GE PP989With a glossy ceramic surface you’ll want to maintain to keep shiny and streak-free, this GE electric cooktop features a downdraft exhaust that keeps the kitchen clear of smoke and steam. A convenient bridge element gives you even more space to heat up large pots by combining three of the elements. The heating elements provide a strong, even distribution of heat, up to 3,000 watts for the greatest boiling capability. While this model requires some elbow grease and a special cleaner to keep the surface shiny, it’s worth the effort to have a sleek, effective cooktop at $1,128.
