I am not sure how useful this will be. I replaced an electric smoothtop (I hate them!) in my house in Oregon with an Electrolux Wavetouch 5 burner dual fuel LP range. I only lived there full time for about a year with the range before relocating to Maine. Am not sure what the fascination with smooth tops, but I ended up with another one in the place I have purchased in Maine, its dual burner died after 4 months of use. I decided to replace it with the 30" all LP Berta range and am taking advantage of the hood promotion (BTW, they retail for $1,200). My place is heated with an LP based European type hydronic radiant heat units and a LP fireplace, so adding cooking should not tax my 300 gallon LP tank, LOL! I was looking for a range that is decidedly "manual" without an electronic interface due to the wind and subsequent power outages that are to common in this part of the state. I was also advised of service problems with the electronic interfaces on the Electroluxes, even though my range in Oregon has not had a service problem as of yet, knock on wood (am a reluctant landlord). Initially, I planned to purchase an Electrolux dual fuel floor model but could not pass up the hood promotion Bertazzoni is currently offering. I am only hoping when the range is installed, the oven temp will be adequately calibrated. I previously owned a Viking, but really did not want to spend the extra money for what I thought would be of marginal benefit. I also do not miss cleaning the Viking grates which were an exercise in weightlifting too! I visited friends of mine a few years ago in Europe and I believe they have a Berta (the knobs are pretty distinctive). I do about 70% rangetop and 30% oven cooking. My old Viking had gas convection and an infrared broiler and I really liked the oven and understand that the Berta is similar, though I believe the heat control is different (regulated by flame instead of on and off).

If we are talking about the same Profile you are talking about, the difference for me was the placement of the back control panel in the profile and the lack of it in the Cafe. This panel, especialy with the additional metal lip they put on, intrudes too far to the cooking space that made it very difficult to put 4 different pots on there comfortably, or at all. Pans are ok, I think they fit under the lip, but nothing tall. I actually took my pots and pans to the store and experimented with the cooking space of the different ovens. Even though it is kind of funny, I recommend doing it. Hope this helps. Oh, also, we got a huge discount on the Cafe, over the MSRP, so if you price compare, you may get a better deal also. We checked recommendations for our local appliance stores and went into the highly recommended ones and compared prices. Most do price matching and there is a fair amount of bargaining that happens that we didn't know about. Same goes for fixtures and faucets. We bought all of these below internet prices locally.

They’re metal.

Thanks Lawrence. I checked with Lowes and Home Depot with the same delivery date as you posted, which means that is the time to process the order, but no idea of when or if it I would received it. GE told me it was last manufactured Febuary 2019. It will become obsolete in July. There is one in Chicago, but i'm a long ways from there. Now I'm wondering if there is a newer model coming out. I did get a model #CHS950P2MS1 from GE. I will see if I can find something on that number online.
