Our dream!
on June 10, 2012

My wife and I purchased this range in January 2011 and have now owned it for 17 months. We both love this range. My wife uses the bottom oven to keep foods warm when we have a number of guests. The burners have a wide range of adjustment. The small burner is excellent for maintaining gravies or keeping chocolate "just melted!" The top is easy enough to clean. Once we let something boil over causing debris to gather around the burner. I used a needle to clean the small hole that that stopped up causing to burner to ignite too slowly. That was our fault and was easily corrected. The convection oven works wonderfully. Baked goods and turkeys look magazine picture perfect! The best kitchen product we have ever had. It has given us great satisfaction.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I was wary about buying this range as it had some very negative reviews about the noisy convection fan and some other problems. However, I had previously had a GE range and loved it, and this range really fit our needs, so we took the plunge and, so far, I am very happy we did.
It roasts beautifully using the convection roast feature. Cookies have come out great as well using the convection bake. The regular oven, without using convection has also done very well. There is absolutely no loud noise when using the convection fan. It is extremely quiet. The stove top works great, the power boil is excellent and the varied levels of flame are as well.
The only negative issue I had previously read about, that I also have noticed, is that the burner knobs get hot when using the oven. That is something I do think GE should work on. If you had little kids I think this might be a concern. Other than that, we love this range.

Great choice if your want two ovens in small slide in space

Chose this because it had professional cook top combines with two ovens in a small slide in space. We lIke this range so far but the instruction DVD was so poor as to laughable. GE would be better off skipping the cost of this and having customers just make YouTube instruction videos.

Best range I have ever owned
on February 28, 2012

We bought this range, the convection microwave and the 980RSS dishwasher for our newly renovated kitchen. A dual fuel range sounded strange at first but we decided it is really the best of both - a gas cook top, which we wanted to replace our old drop in electric range, but we didn't want a gas oven. Buying a separate cook top and oven would have been out of our price range and would not fit in our kitchen without major remodeling. This solved the problem. It has everything. I have used the griddle with the middle oval burner for hamburgers and grilled cheese, and it does a perfect job, way better than a frying pan. Cooking with gas is so much smoother and controlled than electric burners. The convection oven works beautifully too. We did baked salmon and it came out perfect. The range looks great in our 1950s modern house and is extremely easy to clean. Until now I didn't cook much, but now it is fun and I plan to learn some more recipes and get busy with it. The combination of the range and the convection microwave is great, and with the lower oven, we have three ovens, large, medium and small, as well as full featured microwave. Also the griddle does not generate as much smoke as using a frying pan with our electric stove, and it is cleared efficiently by the microwave built in vent fan, so does not set off the smoke alarm. Over all, we are delighted with our new kitchen. One thing about price - once you decide what you want, check ALL the appliance stores as well as the big box stores, as the prices vary a lot for the same appliance, way more than we expected, and we got the best price at a place we did not expect to.

Love this range!
on February 25, 2012

This range "feels good." The components, grates, doors, griddle, etc. are solid. The cook top is easy to clean. The full surface design of the grates makes it easy to slide pots on and off of the flames. The griddle works well and is easy to clean. There is some unevenness in the heat distribution in the oven. I've noticed that trays of cookies finish at different rates both while using the convection and regular oven settings. Not a major problem. The convection setting is faster and baking batches of cookies on multiple racks is a breeze. One design complaint, I sometimes lean on the front controls and set the oven on. It requires a confirmation push to begin the setting or to cancel.

poor design

I bought this range to complete a full kitchen remodel. I got the above range GE Cafe microwave also. When I reach to get a dish from the microwave my body causes the stove timer and on 2 occasions caused the gas to come on. The stainless steel is hard to keep from scratching and hard to keep clean. The grates on the gas stove are hard to keep clean, and cause some of the scratching. Over all, I like using this range for baking and cooking, however I have to be extremely careful when removing anything from the microwave. If your body touches the knobs the gas comes on, and stays on until you smell it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Mis-matched piece in GE Cafe line.

If you buy this range, be aware the LED display is greenish blue and not cobalt blue like the fridge. microwave and dishwasher. It looks like a mis-matched piece.

Bad taste on green bean casserole baked in lower oven.
on February 4, 2012
Posted by: Anonymous
from Bettendorf Iowa
I really enjoy this oven, however for the first time I baked a green bean casserole in the lower oven while baking a ham in the mail oven the casserole came out with a bad taste similar to using too much lighter fluid on charcoal when grilling. Is there a breaking in period on the lower oven or should I not use both of them at the same time?
