We had a service man come and recalibrate the stove. It still doesn't not heat properly
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 2 months in on this model and we really like it. everything is working well and even with lots of gas flowing (griddle, both front and one rear eye boiling and braising and sauté simultaneously) and the oven on, everything came out great. haven't used the lower baking drawer too much yet, but will soon enough...
I would recommend this to a friend!

issues with convection fan
on October 16, 2012
Posted by: carolis40

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great range, but I can't use the convection feature because the fan hits the metal housing. I have had a GE technician come out and pronounced the problem fixed, but after a week it was still making a banging metal sound. It is very frustrating. When the fan was silent, the oven was wonderful.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This range provokes "stove-envy" in others.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I couldn't be happier with my GE Cafe range. The dual-fuel feature combining the best of gas stove-top with TWO full-functioning electric ovens has made cooking and baking easier and more fun. I love the center oval-shaped burner for braising and poaching in a oval roaster or using the griddle that is included. A friend who just built a new house and bought a different brand asked for the griddle to go with her range as a Mothers' Day gift. When she heard that my griddle came witht the range, she said, "I bought the wrong stove."
I have been able to do oven meals using one oven for the main dish and baking in the oven drawer at a different temperature. I love this being a full oven, not just a warming drawer.
Finally, the free-standing design with the look of a slide-in gave me the flexibility and look I needed in my remodel. Thank you for building a professional feature range in the dimension I could use in my tiny kitchen!

Very happy with the performance of this range

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the dual fuel. This looks and feels like a heavy duty appliance. I wanted to have a warming drawer and this model was a perfect fit for me. The oven is large and has great versatility with both convection and conventional temps. I use it daily and have had no problems at all. I find it very easy to clean but just be careful with the grates so you dont scratch the stainless. It is my favorite GE appliance.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] All of the elements on the cook top provide accurate, even heat, the warmer element is especially useful both as a warmer and as an additional cooking element. The convection oven holds temperature evenly and is very accurate, no more turning the cookie sheets or cake pans halfway through the cooktime. Roasts and braised dishes come out excellent. I have not used the bottom baking drawer yet but I know it will be put to good use as a warming drawer or a place to bake the rolls when we have a crowd over for dinner. I wish that the designers of the range would have made the timer alarm much, much louder. Or, how about this, with all the on board electronics this range already has, couldn't you provide a programmable volume control for the alarm? I also do not use the cast iron griddle that came with the range; I'm just too worried about dropping that heavyweight on the glass top. I have been using an Emeril non-stick griddle which spans the two left side burners and that works just great for making large breakfasts. The control that combines the two burners maintains an even temperature for the entire griddle. I researched a wide variety of ranges from different manufacturers and I am very satisfied with my decision to purchase the GE Cafe range.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great looking but just misses the mark

I have had the cafe series dual fuel range for 2 years now. I love the gas cooktop with electric oven combination. It LOOKS very expensive. The middle (center) cooking element is useless as others had noted. I disregarded their comments and thought surely, why would GE put something out there if it wasn't useful...well...I think they are able to boast a 5 burner for marketing purposes. The other 4 work fine. They should just eliminate the middle one or make it a true burner. The two ovens look great too but only the top is a real oven. The bottom is heated up by a light. Remind anyone of Easy bake oven? The bottom isn't connected to the electric panel, its turned on by a knob. The only way of really telling if its heating up is by an inside thermometer. Even then, you need to continually open the bottom drawer to check the temp. When they make the 5th burner useable, and the bottom oven operable, I will upgrade at that time. Otherwise buy it for solely 4 burners and one oven.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

absolutely love it!

Had this installed about month ago when renovating the kitchen. First, all of our visitors comments on how great it looks: beefy steel knobs, controls upfront and not in back, well laid out control panel. It completes the look of a top-of-the-line kitchen. Second, incredible functionality. Wife loves the baking drawer and the meat thermometer that can be plugged into the side panel of the interior of the oven to monitor the temperature on the control panel. Very easy to clean. Very easy to use. Heats evenly and well. Did extensive research before purchasing and viewed many different competing models from competing brands. This is the BEST electric (non-induction) range on the market.
I would recommend this to a friend!
