[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The stove top is easy to keep clean, large pots of water boil rapidly, the oven bakes breads and cakes evenly and the baking drawer is very useful.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 4 and 1/2 stars. Only issue is the surface under burners is too shiny and shows the shallowest scratch. You have to be very careful moving grates. Interesting that design has two largest burners at the front instead of traditional one large front and one large rear. RF Dual burner is really nice.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the dual fuel, all the different burners are very nice. We like having the bakind drawer, like a double oven!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm still discovering all that my range can do. I did cook a whole chicken in the convection oven in 20 minutes! I love that it has a warming/baking drawer too. And of course, it's really pretty! I'm enjoying cooking again!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have owned this range for a couple of months and am afraid to use it -- only used it a few times. The top of the range should be a more durable product other than stainless steel -- it scratches just from gently wiping it --never mind having to worry about spills and getting them wiped up without totally scratching up the stove top. It is a very poor choice to have stainless on the top cooking surface of the cooktop -- would certainly not even consider purchasing this range again -- am already regretting it! Paid too much money for a product that will look totally scratched and overly worn in no time --extremely disappointed it this product. It is pretty to look at, but certainly not practical to use! I think G.E. should create some sort of a fix to cover or replace the existing stainless steel "range top" to the "unhappy people" that have already purchased this easily scratched range top! Paid way to much money to have a new product become old looking and misused when it has not been!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This range gets noticed! Even a pro in the restaurant business was very impressed by the BTUs available on the 2 power boil burners. Plenty of sizes available to fit pans of any size. Convection oven cooks evenly with multiple shelves in use. The only issue I have noticed is that the time it takes to preheat the oven is longer than my previous GE range.
This range is very impressive looking and works very well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We renovated our kitchen this spring and after hours of research i choose the ge cafe electric range. I love the looks of the range and have made many meals already. I did need to get new pots and pans as mine were30 years old and no longer level on the bottom.
