We are very happy with this Cafe range so far. The build quality seems good and all the features seem to work great. I didn't think we'd use the center griddle but I must admit it comes in handy. The warming drawer draws more current than my current circuit is capable of so we trip the breaker if we try to use it. At some point I'll have to run a dedicated circuit for it. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is the fact that the first one arrived damaged and the literature is filled with misspellings.
I haven't had a chance to try it out yet as we just installed it today but it looks and feels like a solid range. A lot of the ones I looked at really felt and looked cheap. Overall it had good reviews online rated 4- 41/2 stars and I checked a lot of websites and read a lot of reviews. I only gave this review a good rating on features (wish this one model had rolling racks-very disappointed it didn't) and good on performance as I'm only going by what I read. I haven't used it yet like I said.
Purchased stove this week, but it does not fit my 30" opening. We were told that all 30" stoves are the same width and will fit any 30" opening. This is not true. We have purchased all appliances from same dealer for many years, so we put our trust there. Previous stove is 29 7/8" wide. There are too many imperfections for this 30" unit to fit easily into a 30" opening. Returning is not an option, since the dealer has policies about returns, even though this unit is still packaged and they claim to sell tons of these. Modifying the opening is expensive and very dirty. We just cleaned up after a kitchen upgrade. Have no reason to think that performance would be anything less than stellar. Will be listing this stove for sale and will purchase a unit that is 29 7/8" wide. Check these specs carefully when shopping for your new stove.
I love my new cafe series GE stove and oven! It is beautiful and has so many options in which to cook and bake. Love the convection and the warming tray. I would recommend this GE product to anyone who loves to cook and back.
