[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought three GE Cafe series appliances as a package and like them all. This stove cooks great, with the larger burners being a terrific feature. By far we like the center burner most, as using it for pancakes, eggs, burgers, bacon and anything else we chose to use it for is exactly what we were looking for in a stove. The biggest complaint we have however is that the stainless top has scratched already due to taking the burner grids on and off.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In remodeling our kitchen we purchased the GE Cafe line. I love the 5th burner and griddle/grate option, the power boil works great ! We had a warming drawer in previous oven & was a must on new range. I have used the the probe for temperature cooking and I can't wait to try use the convection cooking method.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Two large burners in the front make it impossible to work on the back burners without getting burned. Stainless scratches. Control panel turns oven off if you bump it accidentally. IMPOSSIBLE to clean.
Love the look and function of the range. Everyone who sees it loves it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the look, adds a modern and contemporary look to my new kitchen. Love the baking drawer and use it often. Though it was a bit pricy, I like the features of the center grill and power burners. I read reviews about the noise of the oven fan. I have not found this to be the case. You can hear the fan when it turns on, but it isn't very loud at all.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love thte 5 burner stove top with fast boil feature. Love the small lower oven for baking and warming without taking up much space. Have noticed oven thermostat is a few degrees low but just add a few degrees when turning it on.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The touch pad IS very sensitive.. every time I lean over the stove I hear beeping (and no, I am not very wide but I am short, hence the leaning). The fan is a tad noisy but not enough to complain about. I wish the range were a few inches less deep.
Being summer in the South, I have not used the oven as much as I will in a few months but I have had issues with setting the oven temp, leaning against the stove slightly to stir a back burner pot and by doing so, turning off the oven!
I think this range will work for me now that I know its quirks and what to watch for but I wouldn't really recommend it to a friend until I have used it longer.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm not the cook of the house, but my wife loves the product. We searched numerous makes and types and settled on the GE Cafe series. We are very happy so far !
