This is the second GE Cafe dual fuel range that I have purchased. When my husband and I decided to remodel our second home, there was not even a question regarding the range. I bought my first one three years ago and have never had an issue. Just had my new one installed two weeks ago, and it works flawlessly.
We bought this stove after a lot of online research...a lot. We are very happy with our decision to buy this GE product. We had friends over recently and with the baking drawer, in addition to the convection oven (a dream!) we were able to bake our cookies, appetizers and side dishes with ease. It is smooth and looks great!
I just purchased this stove and love it already. The simmer function is wonderful. The power boil lives up to its name. I like the option of having the griddle on the stove, and a very large center burner to have even cooking. The oven(s) are great for a pending Thanksgiving in that I have 2 ovens to complete dinner.
We bought this stove in the spring on 2014 but renovations were not complete until July so we've been using it for about 4 1/2 months. I love the look and feel of the stove but we did have some problems with the baking drawer fitting correctly. It took 3 visits and two different repair people to get it right. Actually, I'm not sure the first guy even knew what he was doing but the second repair guy did and was very diligent to get it right. Moreover, the baking drawer works great. I was a little unsure since there is no "window" to check on the food in the drawer but it hasn't been a problem. I love the dual fuel, gas is the only way to cook on top but I have to say, I haven't tried the convection oven yet. My only "complaint" is that the knobs sometimes turn on just by leaning against them. I wish they were a little harder to turn. Otherwise, we've been very happy with the stove.
I am very happy with my free-standing gas range purchase. The convection bake feature cooks very evenly. Have not tried the lower drawer oven yet. Love the griddle for Sat. morning pancakes and eggs. Purchased this in Sept. 2014 so I will keep you updated as we use it more.
Happy to have bought this stove and oven. The oven works great. I like the different burners depending on what you're cooking. Easy to clean too. Have not used the griddle yet but looks like fun.
