GE JBP68MMBS Review

I purchased the GE 30 In. Freestanding, Clean Steel  Electric Range, (Model JBP68MMBS) at Home Depot on their "no interest, no payment for a year" credit card.  On top of that, I got a rebate from GE making this range pretty darn affordable. 

I love the range- it looks great in my kitchen and the clean steel is fabulous- no real noticeable finger prints and it reflects the light making it a bright spot in the kitchen.  I was trying to update my kitchen from a dark and very dated look and the range certainly helped. 

It is a glass top range- not something I was really shopping for but it is definitely nice and eliminates having to clean burners..I have to say though that I am not real fond of the black glass top.  It is hard to keep clean and very dark - something I was trying to avoid in my small kitchen. 

There are four burners, just like most ranges but this range has one burner that is adjustable- you can have a large pot on it or a small pot.  It is really a nice thing to have.  There is a very large burner too and that one is not so good because, frankly, I don't have a pot large enough to use it!  I would say that one should have been the adjustable burner but since I don't work for GE, I guess that wasn't an option.

The oven itself works well.  I never have a problem with uneven cooking or baking and it preheats quickly.  The timer has a few quirks but isn't a deterrent.  The controls are all led and push button controlled.  Heat is adjustable in five degree increments. 

There is a hot surface sensor that stays lit until it is cool enough to set something on.  A nice safety feature since I wouldn't want to set something on there that would melt.  In all, I would highly recommend this range to anyone.  It is a great investment.
