Owned this for 3 months, my wife cooks with it almost everyday, she loves it. Heats evenly in all areas and quickly too. Also maintains accurate temp. Basically, it works exactly how it's suppose to.
Wish it had a middle grill accessory, or a reversible grill/griddle. It comes with the griddle only.. Have used it a couple times but not good for eggs, as they tend to run into the grooves. Make sure you season it before 1st use with a light dusting of olive oil. It will clean up easy for you after that. When using the middle burner with a pan on high gas it doesn't give me that boost of sizzle I'm looking for when cooking meats. I have to move the pan to one of the other burners. I found using microfiber cloths to clean means it won't scratch!! The GE guy who installed told me this. He also said to run the oven on 400 degrees for 4-5 hours before using to burn off all the paint/smells. We did that and it was pretty strong. Remove all animals and kids and have a fan going and windows open. The oven is a little weird when you turn it on. Each time I put it on a temperature to bake it shuts off. I have to do it twice and then it stays on. Haven't used the bottom yet but look forward to it and I'm glad it's not just a warming drawer. Haven't used the meat probe. Have used the broiler and was very happy with the results.
cooks much more evenly than electric and is easier

Took a while to adjust to cooking with gas but have adjusted well. Only problem I have is accidently bumping the control pad and activating a function accidently. Back of stove top would probably be a better location
