Today is the start of WEEK 2 in our four-week GE Appliances Home Improvement Give-Away. If you weren’t lucky enough to win last week’s prize—the GE® Hybrid Stainless Steel Interior Dishwasher (MSRP $699)—perhaps this will be your week!
ENTER TODAY and every day (through midnight EST Friday, September 14) to be eligible to win a new GE Profile™ Slide-In Double Oven Electric Range, valued at $2,799 MSRP.
GE Profile™ Slide-In Double Oven Electric Range
Designed to offer high performance with a built-in look, this GE double oven is the only slide-in electric model that offers a custom look without the custom installation cost. The stainless steel oven, with black glass ceramic and patterned graphite range, fits flush in the common 30-inch kitchen cutout and requires no backsplash to create a clean, finished look.
Among its many features, the new GE Profile™ Slide-In Double Oven Electric Range includes self-cleaning top and bottom ovens and five electric cooktop burners, including a powerful 3,000-watt Tri-ring, a warming zone to keep foods fresh and ready to serve, and a dual heat element for power boiling and precise low-temperature cooking.
The GE Profile™ Slide-In Electric Double Oven offers 6.6 cu ft capacity.
If you’ve ever dreamed of cooking like a pro, this is the oven to have. The top oven preheats faster and uses less energy, making it more efficient and convenient for cooking small, frequent meals, baking cakes and cookies, or reheating leftovers.
The convection system of the bottom oven includes a reversing fan surrounded by a third cooking element for even browning, baking, and roasting any menu item, large or small.

Classis single handle, ball valve faucet from Delta
Recognize this faucet? Chances are you had—or still have one—in your home or apartment. Or perhaps you remember it from your parents’ home or (depending on your age) your grandparents’. Regardless of how you know it, the faucet has remained a classic and a staple of American kitchens since its introduction by Delta in the 1950s.
What made the faucet so revolutionary in its day was the ball valve that allowed for the stylish single handle design and smooth rotational operation. With no washers to wear out or require replacement, the faucet was essentially immune to leaks and drips. It quickly became a favorite of consumers and plumbers alike, finding its way into millions of homes.
As innovative as that faucet was, Delta has remained a leader in the category by continuing to develop products that are not only stylish, but smart.
