About - GE JSP46DN[WW]
The GE JSP46DN[WW] is part of the kitchen range test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, electric range models like the JSP46DN[WW] are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below. Cooktop high: This reflects how quickly the most powerful element could raise a 6-liter (6 1/3 quart) pot of water from room temperature to a near boil. Cooktop low: This reflects the ability of the lowest power element to melt and hold chocolate without scorching it. We also set the most powerful element to its lowest setting to test its ability to hold a large pot of tomato sauce below a boil. Baking: This reflects the evenness of cookies and cakes in multi-rack baking tests.

Features & Specs - GE JSP46DN[WW]
High-power elements The number of surface cooking elements rated at over 2,000 watts. On a smoothtop range, often one or more of the high-power elements is a dual element; you can choose the large element or a smaller element within the larger one for small pots. High-power elements	1
Medium-power elements The number of surface cooking elements rated at over 1,500 watts but not more than 2,000 watts. Medium-power elements	2
Low-power elements The number of surface cooking elements rated from 1,200 to 1,500 watts not including warming-only elements, or those contained within larger expandable elements. Low-power elements	1
Convection mode Has a convection feature that uses a fan or two to circulate heated air, and sometimes an extra heating element. The convection mode can be turned off if you prefer conventional cooking. Convection mode	Yes
Double oven Double oven models have a second oven cavity. Most have a separate small oven above the main one complete with its own controls, door, window, oven light, slide-out rack, and self-clean function. While the upper oven offers easy access, the main oven is relatively low; you'll need to crouch to remove items from lower shelf positions. Other designs convert a single oven into two using a slide-in partition (though with a shared door.) Double oven	No
Cooking drawer Drawer below the main oven that can cook foods (up to a few inches high), as well as warm or heat serving bowls and plates. The cooking drawer has its own temperature control so can be set to cook a dish independent of the main oven. Foods must be lifted up out of the drawer (lacks a slide-out rack), and the drawer requires manual cleaning. Cooking drawer	No
Slide-in Slides between cabinets; unfinished exterior on the sides of the range. The edge of the cooktop overlaps the counter on each side and all controls are on front panel for a built-in look. Slide-in	Yes
Stainless steel available Many new mainstream ranges come with stainless steel trim or offer a stainless-trim version for an additional $200 or so. Stainless steel available	Yes

Comment:

This range looks great, but that is about the only plus about it. We have had ours for 1 year and have had to replace the front control panel 4 times now. The last repair was 1 month ago and now it is out again with a plastic burn smell today. Do not buy this stove.

Comment:

The cooktop is super - we cook/entertain a lot and this thing supports everything we've tried. Scotch-Brite cleaner keeps it spotless with little effort. The only problem we've had was our own doing - the cook top does not handle Le Creuset Dutch oven lid being dropped on it from 18! A very expensive accident. The major downer is the oven - when pre-heating, we have to let it go an extra 10 minutes after the signal to ensure its up-to-temp. Ruined a few dishes before discovering the problem.
