Used it for Thanksgiving. Loved the convection oven. It took much time off the turkey roasting. Warming drawer/drawer oven was invaluable for casseroles.
I love my dual fuel range. The oven heats up quickly and bakes evenly. I also love the center griddle and the power boil burner. I couldn't be happier with this range!
I bought this in Sept 2016 I was looking for a duel fuel so I could do my canning but have the precision of the electric oven. I'm glad I bought this. It cooks beautifully. Water boils quickly great burner features. Love the griddle in the middle. There are a few things I would change the control panel is angled straight up and down which it protects from things spilling on it but you have to step back and bend to see the buttons. Also wish it had a feature to light up the control panel so you could see what your pushing. I like to turn it on without turning on all the kitchen lights. Another is to have a way to adjust the temp up or down degrees without having to shut it off first. Finally the top would be porcelain black to prevent scratching. The minute one of the grates touch the stainless it scratches it and that's permanent.
I was looking for a slide-in style freestanding range so I could show off my backsplash and saw this GE Café at the store. I was visually drawn to it as it was far better looking then any range there. It has all of the features I was looking for including rear venting, the bridge element, 2 variable size elements, a warming element, and a full lower oven that tops out at 450 degrees. A surprise is that, without the back electronics plate, the range seems to have much more working space and the pots actually vent up into the overhead microwave exhaust hood - even on the front burners! I am tall, so have not had any issues with brushing against the electronic control panel on the front.
WE BOUGHT THIS OVEN/RANGE FOR OUR NEW HOME. WE COOK A LOT. THE GAS RANGE IS GREAT, IT HAS TWO POWERFUL BURNERS UP FRONT, THEN THE OTHER THREE BURNERS GIVE YOU A LOT OF FLEXIBILITY. THE OVENS DID GREAT FOR THANKSGIVING - WE HAD OUR TURKEY IN THE MAIN OVEN AT 325, THEN WAS ABLE TO CRANK THE LOWER UNIT UP TO 425 FOR THE FINAL THIRTY MINUTES TO ROAST SOME STUFFING AND BRUSSEL SPROUTS.
