Overview of GE PS950SFSS Induction Range

It is amazingly designed, elegant and a perfect addition to a modern kitchen. It perfectly combines the black ceramic glass on top with the dark and light grey of the oven.

The induction cooktop has 5 heating elements that are radiant and patterned with ceramic glass. There are two cooking zones on the left, two on the right and one in the center.

Here’s how the induction cooktop is configured:

The front controls make setting the cooking modes and power levels much easier and you don’t have to bend in order to see what you are doing. Also, there are 5 indicator lights that indicate whether or not the cooking zones are enabled.

Just like the previously reviewed product, it has 19 power levels that can be adjusted with half step increments. This gives the user amazing temperature control over its food.

The induction cooktop controls are positioned on the left and right side of the control panel, while the oven’s controls are positioned in the center.

Its capacity of 6.6 cubic feet, divided in 2.2 cubic feet in the upper oven and 4.4 cubic feet in the lower oven is great for those who want to use all the space they can get.

The differences

The price difference is the first thing that anyone notices. If you are looking for a high-quality induction range with an oven you most certainly don’t look for inexpensive products, but a few hundred dollars can still make a difference.

In this case, the first product costs about check price on Amazon, while the second one costs $400 less.

Although there are slight design differences in the induction cooktop, this is not what makes them different. The control panel is basically identical and so is the range’s size.

However, when looking at the lower side of the unit, it is easy to observe that the first product features a single oven with quite a capacity and three potential cooking zones, while the second product has a double oven with a traditional zone and a convection one.

Both units are powerful, efficient and smart, feature safety functions, self-clean options and various cooking modes. However, the main difference stands in the technology that is being used in each model.

Summary

They are quite expensive, which means that buyers expect a lot from these highly responsive, sensitive and intuitive products.

While the first product is great for individuals who are looking for a high-quality unit, but simple ways to bake and cook, the second one seems to be designed for classic tastes and people who still enjoy traditional technologies more than anything.

If you are one of those who love having the latest technology in your kitchen, but don’t want to give up the traditional ones, then you will probably go for the second induction range.

These two products have it all: the looks, durable materials, plenty of functions and features and intuitive control panels that don’t require a lot of study in order to use them efficiently.
