Purchased a new oven to replace my GE spectra that was 20 years old> very happy with it, Except 2 things #1. broiler is electric its a different type of cooking have to get used to. #2. the instructions for Shabbos mode didnt include to bypass the automatic 12hr shut off. We therefore had cold food over the holiday until I read the reviews & someone was nice enough to post about that
Love my new stove. Love how how up the grates sit and love the deepness of the top of the stove for spills. Also love the fact that it lights up to let you know the cooktop is on.
Oven bakes terribly. The top of the food gets burnt. it seems the electric broil activates at random times during the baking. also the clock won't turn on while you have the oven on so the whole time something is baking you can't see the time. also there is no delay start for cooking.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We'd like to assist you with your range. We recommend calibrating the oven temperature. For steps on how to do this, please refer to the article here: https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=19108
Your comments regarding the clock and delay start option are extremely important to us and will be considered by our product design team for review.
I am very pleased with the stove and broiler however there is one issue. Older stoves/broilers had an additional "pan', if you will, to be used when broiling steaks, shrimp or hamburgers. The juices/fax would drip through the grate that fit within the "pan" to the pan itself and away from any flame that may cause a fire. There isn't a pan contained within the unit. Additionally if I were to attempt to broil shrimp or any other item the juices/fat would drop to the floor of the oven which doesn't make any sense. SOMETHING IS MISSING.
