I bought this just before Christmas. I love the double over, dual burner set up, and the fifth burner in the back. It is also a commercial looking electric range that has a low back profile that works with my décor.
I do like the look and features of this range. The burners offer different options and heat up quickly. However I did find that the ovens take an awful long time to preheat. And unfortunately after only 4 months we had to have it serviced. The function buttons on the front panel stopped working. It is too soon for me to say if I would recommend this product to a friend.
As soon as my husband spotted this stove he had to show me. We both agreed that it was a great choice for us because it would complement another manufacturer's professional series refrigerator and dishwasher that have been in place for a few years. We had an existing bisque GE stove and microwave that were still working after 12 years and were leaning toward replacing with a GE stainless steel model to complete a coordinated kitchen. We saved a substantial amount of money by going with GE; however, we think GE offers superior value and a new GE refrigerator and dishwasher is in our future. The stove is a pleasure to use. We highly recommend GE appliances to all our family an friends.
We had been wanting to update from electric to gas for years and got the opportunity to do so last year. Looked at gas ranges for months, first of all to find the model we wanted then a dealer and price. The GE Cafe series with electric ovens (dual fuel) and with it's semi commercial, clean design. caught our attention. Read all of the reviews possible and noted a problem with the knobs "melting". However this problem didn't come up in any recent reviews, and appears to have been fixed. The range was on a 3 week back order. We have had the range for 4 months now and haven't had any problems. It works perfectly. It does require a little extra care and attention to keep it clean. The stainless steel top is very soft and scratches easily. "If you want it done right , do it yourself" So I've taken over cleaning chore ...the wife loves that! Excellent stove, a little pricy, but shop around and take your time.
