The stove is very nice and affordable. My elderly parents house needs a kitchen update, but this stove fits in perfectly and fits their needs. It’s been a few weeks and everything working great. Simple to use and easy to clean. Also, the delivery team was so nice and did a great job with everything

This is the absolute worst stove I ever had! I bought it because it was less expensive than others AND that it was GE. First of all, I don’t want my stove turning off in the middle of cooking, especially Thanksgiving dinner! Second, the burners seem to think it’s their choice which is going to work on which day. Currently, I have one working burner…at least I did until a few minutes ago…again on the middle of cooking dinner. I’ve checked all connections, power supply, etc. and all is as it should be…except it’s not working. NONE of the burners work... and three of them stopped working at the same time! It’s only about two years old. I’m sorry I bought it. I’m sorry I can’t return it. I can’t afford another stove. Never again.

We're sorry to hear that you are less than satisfied with this cooktop. When the sensor detects a pan temperature near the limit (450 degrees F), the burner will shut off automatically until a lower, safe pan temperature is reached.

                Great simple range
                It’s a great range and I personally love it. I would have given it 5 stars but for the most simple range I would like to see them priced a bit lower. It’s not fancy but it does the job and works great so far. I haven’t had it long but all of my other ranges were also GE and they served me fine for many years.

                  Nice basic stove with the burners that are alot easier to keep clean than our old glass top was. Oven heats up quickly and works as intended. Fit in our old space very well and went nicely with the range top.we purchased too. We're Happy !

                  Nice
                  Stove replaced a 30 yr slide in unit. Had to do a little work to get it to fit hole but it looks fine.

                    I love my stove, because of the color plus the oven cooks fast and style of it.The oven light so I can see if it’s browning without opening the oven.

                      I love the simplicity of this model! No gimmicks or unnecessary gadgets to mess with. This has a sleek and classic appeal that never goes out of style! One of my must haves was a spacious storage drawer for pans and this range has all you need. Keep cooking, if you please, with GE!

                              We’ve only had it for a day so time will tell about its quality. We like the look, size of the oven and the ease of use with the dial knobs. Just a simple easy to use oven at a good price.

                                  Good value
                                  Great product for a great price. Only issue I had is the oven heating light always stays on. Does not affect the product, just a bad connection or something. Would still buy it at this price

                                    Almost caught fire
                                    The terminal that connects the bake element to the wires in the back got so hot it burnt the wire and the metal terminal is in ashes. Thank god I was home and unplugged the stove. This could have taken my whole house with it. I’ve only had this stove 14 months and it’s only used on occasion since we use our air flyer for daily tasks. I grew up thinking GE stood for quality. Not anymore. I can’t afford a new stove and I can’t afford to fix this one since it’s just shy of 7 weeks out warranty

                                      Poor oven performance
                                      Oven never heats properly. First I found the thermostat inside bent in a U shape and fixing that helped but it still is not what it should be. Going to try to contact GE about service when they open back up

                                        No clock!
                                        Didn't pay much attention when I ordered this range. It has no clock! I didn't know they even made ranges without a clock! So no timer but you can use your phone or buy a timer. It's sufficient for the 3 months we will be using it during the winter.

Same burner, same pot, same water to heat up had done it before. I turned it on high like before waiting for it to boil so I couture it down went into living room less than 5 minutes I look into kitchen & flames shooting up from burner around the pan almost over the pot. Run in grab the pot get it off the burner turn the burner off & salt to put the fire out

Not had it a month & was cooking or rather heating up water in front big burner left the room & the next thing I know I look into the kitchen & flames are shooting up from the burner around the pan everywhere! Had I not been in the next room my house would have burned down! I accepted the fact the thing didn’t have a timer on it but will not accept it catching on fire heating up water. Yes I’d used the same pot as before on the same setting as before no reason it should have done that. You owe me a new stove & not one like that!
