Look At Other Options
on July 15, 2025
Posted by: Vanfan
Not the greatest oven in the world. We went to broil for the first time since we purchased this oven and the element did not work. We are currently in the warranty process. As far as the stovetop, I like the different size burners. The low to high settings are accurate. Easy to clean (if you clean up right away). The shelves in the oven aren't the easiest to maneuver. Overall, an okay choice, but there are better options.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Oven Temperature
on October 3, 2025
Posted by: Lady Frog
from Ferndale, MI
I absolutely love my new stove. I have a question this morning I put a pan of brownies in the oven it called for a 325 degree temp. I set it for that temp and it kicked back to 350 and I couldn't get it to stay @ 325. How can I make it do that? I couldn't find anything in that manual that addressed that issue. Thank You
I would recommend this to a friend!

Can’t Wait to use!
on October 30, 2025

Just got it. Haven’t used yet. Would have liked a ‘real’ manual instead of going online to download a manual. A paper manual would be so much easier to reference.

Poor cooktop/griddle burner desisgn! HEAVY!
on October 5, 2024
Posted by: EllaMay
from Bellingham, WA
We recently upgraded a 25 year old poorly insulated propane range to this one bought from a local retailer. Just about anything will make you happy after cooking on an old range where the bake times are double! My husband installed it in no time and adjusted the burners to lessen the flame output which was suggested in the manual though the screw to adjust flame output was tricky to find (and he's an electrician/handyman by trade). So far baking times have been accurate and cooking on the cook top is fine. Unfortunately my local shop did not have this model in stock when we purchased over labor day and I went off online reviews. I regret I did not meet this model in person before purchasing.
CONS-
SO HARD TO CLEAN- There are three continuous welded cast iron pieces that cover the cooktop. They are incredibly heavy- which yes helps with heat conductivity but no way would I recommend this stove top for anyone with chronic pain or is elderly and cannot lift heavy things unless of course you never clean your stovetop. To make it worse- whoever designed these made it so they interlock in the middle at the griddle section - meaning you have to remove ALL THREE PIECES to wipe down anything underneath. I am a mother of three and our primary cook and this is big pain in the a** to me as I am busy enough!! This in and of it self makes me regret buying this. To add to my frustration you can see little rest point where legs on the griddle could have been welded to correspond so then at least you'd have 3 separate sections to lift off one at a time. We are considering taking it to a welding friend to see if he can remove the interlocking pieces from the sides so I can at least remove one section of griddle /burner covers at a time. A MUCH BETTER design would to have each griddle/component be individual so I could remove one at a time. Better for weight distribution as well. I hope I am expressing my rage about this flawed design well enough??!?! lol

DISPLAY LIGHT is WAY TOO BRIGHT at night. Even my 15 year old Bose stereo was designed so that it dims once the lights go down- why did GE not employ this technology? I have to cover it with a towel at night b/c I hate blue light so much.
FRONT LEFT BURNER is huge and I HATE the placement!!! I don't want my largest burner to my left as a right handed person and the majority of people are right handed. I want my largest burner in the back right corner to hold my big cast iron or my stock pot- this design feels like it was made by some male designer in a high rise who has never spent any time in a working home kitchen. It feels awkward and dangerous to have to reach across the big skillet to get to say the small oatmeal pot in the back and risk burning my forearm as I'm sauteing onions and peppers in the front.
Other notes-
I have not yet used the air fry function. Convect is a nice feature. So far it's OK, but of course I use the cook top every single day multiple times a day and my oven less so, so I've given the cook top a lot of consideration. Would I buy this again? No. I am begrudgingly making use of it since this is a problem of privilege but let's all face it poor design is part of American capitalism these days. Hopefully I get 25 years out of it.

Bare Bones That My Builder Forced On Me
on November 25, 2024
Posted by: Borap1975
from Falling Waters, WV
The builder selected and installed this range. It is bare bones and definitely not what I would have selected. It came with a griddle down the middle, nice perhaps for a few people. I prefer having a cooking grate. My last range from Samsung had the cooking grate and included the griddle so you can swap out as you wanted. The griddle on this GE model is low end and everything on it will stick. I plan on replacing this range with a better built range from another brand. I liked GE 40 years ago but I am no longer a fan. Their products tend to be of lesser quality in terms of materials and features. Again, the builder picked this and I have hated it from day one.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

It works OK. The bottom drawer is too flimsy and moves from side to side a little.
