Dual fuel is awesome

Wanted to transition back to gas and found that this dual fuel stove fit the bill perfectly. Having the ability to move pots and pans seamlessly across the cooking surface is wonderful -- no more wondering how I will get my 12in. sauté pan to heat evenly. I love my new Cafe dual fuel stove. My kitchen is now complete.
I bought this duel fuel range about 6 weeks ago and I LOVE it! It cooks like a dream, and cleans up with ease. Some of the reviews expressed concern about the knobs, or the noise of the oven, or the quality of the stainless. I honestly don't know what they were talking about. The knobs are solid. The oven fan is NOT noisy. The stainless is lovely and EASY to clean. We bought this range at a local appliance store and the owner assured me that this is their best seller and that they've had no complaints from customers. I've been cooking for over 40 years and this is my best range ever. Do not hesitate to buy it if it meets your space needs!
I have been looking for a dual-fuel range for some time and found the one of my dreams. It not only looks good, the 5 burner top (with the griddle in the middle) reminds me of home. The probe in the oven is a life-saver. Thank you for that added touch. The lower baking oven allows me to bake my quiche and while my sister's roast and potatoes are in the upper oven. The touch controls for the stove are placed just right for me.
Bought this range at the same time we bought the "matching" microwave/convection oven and at first were delighted with both. This range had almost everything I wanted, including dual fuel, five burners, two ovens, the main oven very large, slide-in model and over all appearance. However, it broken within a year. It was fortunately under warranty, and if that was the end of it I wouldn't be writing this review. But microwave.convection oven just now died and cannot be fixed, 18 months after purchase. That makes both higher-end GE Cafe appliances didn't hold up more than a year, or a year and a half. Our money that we slave to earn couldn't buy us quality, which I was counting on. Although many people spent a lot more on appliances, these items were not cheap. And now I'm letting people know my experience with GE products.
It was my Christmas present! It's first duty? A 9 lb prime rib. Effortless using the convection feature. Did pancakes the next morning on the griddle and then fajitas for dinner on the stove top. Everything is simple and works as advertised. Love it!
Searched endlessly for a dual-fuel slide in that met all of our needs; I simply wanted a warming drawer but got this fabulous lower oven as a bonus! Helped our Thanksgiving day meal go perfectly.
