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.

Great features, great preheat time, just loving i
on September 23, 2024
Posted by: Fire it up
After moving to Springfield I had a beautiful confection stove already in the home. Problem was it took over an hour to preheat and 1 burner would only light if you used a lighter. My new stove isn't a confection oven but I'm absolutely over the moon! I hated trying to cook on my last oven, this one, I just keep cooking away! Love it!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Look nice

The bottom drawer feels like tin when you pull it out, you expect the drawer to be heavy and it’s not it rolls out very fast and comes off the track then you can’t get it back in.The space in the bottom drawer is much smaller. in the front of the range no matter where you’re cooking on the front burners above the knobs, get very hot. I have to be careful if my grandchildren come in the room that they don’t touch the range while I’m cooking, the grates are Very heavy and it’s hard picking up Two at the same time especially when you’re an older person my last stove had four grates separately Easier to clean and easier to pick up there’s no on and off button. You have to figure out read the book Cancel button is the off button

We are sorry to hear your storage drawer is not working properly. We recommend removing the drawer and putting it back into place. Pull the drawer completely out by pulling straight out to the stop position, then lifting the front up and out. Put the drawer back in at an angle, then straighten once aligned with the tracks. Make sure it is properly placed on the tracks. This will ensure that the drawer is seated correctly and that it will close flush with the range.
If the issue continues. we recommend scheduling service by calling 1-800-432-2737 or online at https://www.geappliances.com/ge/service-and-support/service.htm?_ga=2.44171949.84013435.1609164282-1701951476.1564072784
