hey guys I'm Megan Willerton for Senate appliances here with the GE Profile slide in gas range model number PGS 920 SE FSS so right off the bat you'll notice that this model looks a lot more premium than the mid-price models we've been reviewing recently the most obvious difference is its front control panel that you see here I really like the way this touchpad looks but it is really really frustrating to use so some of these buttons are really responsive some of the other buttons actually have a weird delay that I can't quite explain so I might press the start button it'll take 1 or 2 seconds to react and then it will start a cooking cycle I find this very very annoying mostly because you can't tell if it's working properly half the time a lot of the models we've been testing in the 1500 to 2000 price range have advanced features like bread proof dehydrate defrost and favorite settings this one which costs over a thousand dollars more than a lot of those models doesn't have any of those options in fact the only advanced feature it has is a thermometer probe with a related probe mode so that you can cook any meat to temperature and moving on to performance it didn't do much better there either i boiled a bunch of water I baked a ton of biscuits I made a chicken and I broiled a bunch of burgers and while some test is better than others none of them exceeded expectations it only did ok in the large burner boil test even though it has a higher BTU rating on the other models we've reviewed so far and as far as the small burner boil test goes it actually did the worst out of any of the gas models yet so if you're looking for a model that looks nice but is more well-rounded I would suggest samsung nx500 5700 it's over $1,000 less and is a lot better in general thanks so much for watching this review of GE spgs 920 SE FSS be sure to check out the rest of our large appliance coverage on CNET comm i'm megan Willerton the plan
