General Electric JSP42 slide-in electric range

Date Published: 2/1/07

GE offers a number of electric slide-in ranges, but the General Electric JSP42 slide-in electric range is one of the best values. This range offers all the features you would expect on a model in this price range and tends to run a bit less than some comparable GE products.

You'll find an easy-to-wipe-clean, modern smoothtop consisting of for ribbon, radiant elements. Of the four elements, one is a dual element that offers either a 6- or 9-inch heating surface. To take advantage of this feature and get more even pan-to-heat contact for sensitive foods such as omelets, simply match the pan to the size of the element in use.

The lower oven is a traditional unit with upper and lower elements, and with a large capacity of 4.4 cubic feet. A programmable self-cleaning feature allows you to clean the oven immediately or set it for a delay cleaning later on.

The sophisticated electronic controls include cook&hold and a digital clock and timer. Below the oven is a convenient full-width storage drawer for all your pots and pans.

A sleek unit that is offered in stainless steel, bisque, white or black, the General Electric JSP42 has a low profile that makes it an excellent choice for an installation where there will be a decorative backsplash or interesting tile.


Pros: Price for features makes the model attractive, has good looks, is functional and offers a low profile
Cons: Features are fairly basic, but generally reliable
