We have the GE 30" Profile, with the ss frame. Purchased in summer 2008. At the time, the specs were exactly the same between the profile and the monogram, and the profile was a few hundred less (via the induction site). We did think the stainless/mirrored monogram looked really cool, but the black controls on it were funny looking, so decided to stick to all black. Got the framed version because we were worried about cracking an exposed glass corner without it. Performance is excellent. The large burder is quite large and very powerful. Overall, great control, great power and a good price. Cleaning up is easy and no noticeable scratches or other issues after 9 months. Only small quibbles--it does hum (not enough to bother us, but usually it is noticeable), more so with some cookware than others. Wish the larger burner were centered so as to provide better capture of smoke when stir-frying (we have it in a peninsula). Clearance requirements underneath are high--meant we used pullout shelves instead of more efficient drawers under it. On balance, happy and would recommend.

I really want a double oven and dont have room for wall ovens. My current broiler is on the floor, basically, so that is a feature I am willing to live with. The new oven has a broiler in the top oven so that will be am improvement. I am not going to make a turkey every day. Re availability, Chicago-area ABT electronics has them in stock, acc to their website. I am going to order in a month or so.

I've had a GE Profile gas cooktop for 12 years at my vacation home. It's the shiny black glass. I'll never buy another one. The unit works fine but the glass always looks dusty. Who would have thought that you'd have to dust your cooktop daily? The Weiman Glass Cooktop Cleaner works great. Just use it sparingly and buff. Be careful not to slide pans or skillets across the glass because they can scratch the surface.

Icky smells are not from forgeting laundry in the machine,unless you leave it there for days. It is combination of things. Luck of use of HOT water, improper dosing on detergents. Not properly rinsed laundry.Detergent choice didn't cause me any trouble either.Powder or liquid,cheap or expensive. The only diference I saw was inthe cleaning power.Now I'm using Persil only, hot cycles and sanitizing only. I never use tub clean or bleach and I don't wipe the rubber seal,I just check it sometimes b/c little lint builds up there. No mildew,no smell. I leave the door open in between washing and I clean pump filter. That's all. I've been using FL for over 30 years without smell.
