Cafe range
Love my new stove. The only problem is two of the knobs are not centered and rub on the ring around it when you turn the knob. I’m also concerned about the edge of the top as when you remove grates you can easily scratch the edge.

    Good product can make some enhancements-better use
    I purchased this product in Oct of 2020, and had it installed Jan 2021. I have been using this stove and find it pretty good. Having issues with the Grates that are not strategically created. Grates are over the flame and this deflects the heat and also quite inconvenient if you have any round bottom dishes. It should be hollow over the flames. The pot bottoms do not get direct heat from the flames and since the heat gets deflected energy is wasted and cooking takes longer. If this can be corrected this will be a great product. I am trying to using some adaptations to work around this. Would like to talk with someone about this. Also grates don't sit plush on the grid.

          Beautiful gas stove, great features!
          Just purchased this stove, delivered today! Gorgeous gas stove, used the convection oven already. I have always used an electric stove top so excited to finally have a gas one. This is really a stunning Cafe appliance. I am looking forward to cooking many more meals on it.

            So far I’m very happy
            I’ve had the stove for two weeks and have made every kind of roast possible using the temperature probe and it works beautifully. I’ve enjoyed the stovetop as well. The simmer burner is fabulous. Plus it is beautiful

                Elegant range
                I bought the range in matte white, while remodeling my entire kitchen. The whole remodel revolves around the Cafe appliances. i am not disappointed - it looks amazing, and works like it should. The oven racks are a little stiff, I assume they will become easier to slide with use. I’ve connected it to my wifi, mostly for the novelty - the most interesting thing I’ve noticed so far is that I get a text message to my phone when the oven reaches temperature. I love all of my Cafe appliances so far!

                  Excellent range goes with the entire kitchen. All six burners work very well. Couldn’t expect more. 4 stars due to the expensiveness.

                    Nice unit, with a manufacturing issue
                    This was an upgrade from our 14 year old gas stove. It took 3-1/2 months to arrive (perhaps due to Covid related supply chain limitations). Once installed, I noted was that the drawer closed crooked. (A pre-installation photo I took even shows the crookedness). I removed the drawer, and noticed the internal chassis was bent on the right side. Not wanting to go through a replacement process, I spent a couple hours jury-rigging a ‘fix’ to straighten the drawer. My guess is that once the factory got sufficient parts to build the unit, it might have been hastily assembled, resulting in the chassis bends (and also a few missing fastening screws). Other than that rough start, the unit seems to function pretty well. (Side note: The wife noted that if you spill something in the burner well, it spreads all around making for a big cleanup. The old unit contained spills better — but that’s a minor thing).

                              Worth the wait. During these covid times, we had to wait for our beautiful, white with bronze trim café stove. Ease of use and professional options.

                                I recently purchased this range. It’s easy to use and cooks everything evenly. I love the features and app capabilities to pre-heat and set timer. I didn’t think I would use the app, but it’s extremely helpful.

                                    Never been happier with a stove. I needed gas and a large oven and 6 burners,.

                                      Just had this installed yesterday. Tried to use oven today and got this message “close oven door, cooking paused”. The door is closed!!!

                                        This turned out so nice. The extra griddle feature was the selling point.

                                            One would think for the money you spend on this cafe model that the oven should work, nope... Been over month and the light in the oven and the front control panel wont turn off and the oven won’t preheat because it thinks the door is open! A GE tech has been out 3 times and still no luck. Hoping to be able to cook by Christmas but I’m not optimistic. Thought I was getting a premium brand but have been extremely disappointed; would not recommend. Off to go schedule another service call....

                                            Hello ToddS, thank you for your review. We are sincerely sorry your range has required multiple service appointments since its installation. We truly understand how that would be frustrating. Please know that this is not the ownership experience we strive for. We hope we will have the opportunity to earn your trust back in the future. -Chris@Cafe cafe_appliances

                                            Beautiful Hard Working Range
                                            We purchased our range to replace our glass top electric stove. I love cooking with gas versus electric. The gas person who installed it, said it was a pretty straight forward and easy install. He had to switch it from natural gas to propane with the kit we ordered. The range top is easy to wipe down after cooking. I like the bumpers the grates sit on. They help to keep you from scratching the top, when placing the grates back down after cleaning. The oven heats up quickly and maintains temperature very well. The roasting feature works well also. Love to cook veges with it. I have not used the Bluetooth feature and really don't plan to, so I cannot speak to that function. The key pad works well and is easy to use. I like that I can lock the key pad so that when our grand daughter comes to visit, she cannot accidentally turn the oven on. We are empty nesters but I cook on the range at least once a day. So far, we are very happy with our purchase.

                                                I love this range! The look in general is very classy, the flat top part is my favorite. Love not having a tall back on it that would have covered my backsplash design. I use the center two burners and griddle almost exclusively now - clean up is much easier than my hand wash pans. I do wish the broil function was rethought but it works great. I really couldn’t be happier with my stove

                                                      Purchased a collection of GE Cafe appliances and chose this oven b/c it has six burners and wasn't huge. I already had the french door oven so didn't need some beast. Love the options on the range for cooking as well as the meat thermometer that comes with it! You plug it right into the oven while cooking to test food temperature.

                                                        Love everything about this oven and range. Only bummer that GE could improve is the iron grates on the range tend to scratch the surrounding stainless steel if not reinserted with careful precision after cleaning. Must be a better design to prevent this.

                                                          I have only been using a week or so it may not be long enough for a good review. The one thing I don't like is the grates are scratching the stainless steel if you move them slightly or if you pick them up to clean. You have to be very careful. The burners are very hot. Not use to that but that's a good thing.Still have to test the oven out. Looks pretty though with the other matching appliances.
