We love the oven, especially how fast it preheats!

We love our oven. We love the speed of the preheating cycle and the accuracy of temp. We also love how easy it is to navigate what / how you wish to cook an item.
The operating system of this oven is top notch. It looks great as a replacement for the original Kitchen Aid which would no longer keep accurate temperature. Only wish I had done the matching microwave at same time.
Screen options become blank at times. Need to guess where buttons used to be.

Oh no!
This is definitely not the experience we want for you and can understand how frustrating it would be when your screen goes blank. We are so sorry for this frustration and would love the opportunity to help.
Please feel welcome to schedule a service appointment with us so that one of our technicians can come in and investigate why this is happening.

It is truly our pleasure to help. We appreciate you so much for choosing Cafe when it comes to your kitchen's needs. -Haley@Café
After reading great reviews, was excited to have the oven installed and experience it for myself. The oven design is simple yet elegant, but for the price paid the features are "Meh". What really is disappointing is the long preheat time. Family members commented on the slowness of the oven to reach the desired temperature.
Positives are the bright oven light, capacitive touch screen, roller rack and fun trivia knowledge (if enabled). Two big negatives are slow preheat (as mentioned earlier) and rough sliding of the flat rack. Pulling and pushing in the flat rack is not smooth by any means and therefore would never place anything with liquid on it as moving it may cause contents to spill. Luckily there's a roller rack for such items. Additionally, moving the flat rack scratches the black gloss finish along the side guides.
Maybe with more use I'll learn more about the other features and may change my mind, but for standard features such as preheat time and smooth rack operation, this oven hasn't won me over.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Greetings.
Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us. We love to know there are features on this oven that you absolutely enjoyed using. We can certainly understand being let down by certain features that just do not live up to your expectations. For this disappointment, we do apologize.
Please feel welcome to connect with us at any time. Your review is so helpful to us so that we can learn where future improvements can be made. Thank you again for choosing Cafe when it comes to your kitchen's needs. -Haley@Café
It runs 75-100 degrees lower than the desired temp, so to have a 350 degree I oven I have to set it at 425-450. If I want to cook pizza at 450 it may eventually get there but takes more than an hour+. It takes a ridiculous amount of time to cool down - more than 2++ hours (with the fan running the whole time). I called the appliance store (a dedicated high-end appliance store) where I bought it and they said "that's just the way it is."
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for the honesty on this review, we can definitely understand the frustration that comes with those inaccurate temperature settings. We are happy to help share a tip that may help out with that.
You can actually adjust the temperature on this model to be more accurate, there are posted instructions on page 9 in the Use and Care manual. We're going to leave a link here: https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-2000379-3.pdf&
