      A great stove
      We had to replace the stove in the home and found this unit to be exactly what we needed. The controls and other features works as expected!

        Buyer Beware
        FYI: You only have 48 hours to return this oven. After that they want to send a service tech out to review it. This is a terrible stove. As others mention, it is nearly impossible to get overspills cleaned off. You have to do it immediately otherwise your stuck with permanent stains. I've used magic erasers, bar keepers helper, vinegar, you name it, it's staying on there. I try to wipe it right as it happens. Nervous this top will break as others mention that is an issue. The stove itself is very slow to heat up. It takes mine 20 minutes to get to 400 degrees. The bottom drawer for storage is flimsy and hard to open. I'm a petite women and I struggle to use the area to open it, my husband curses everytime he has to try to get it open. There is NO self cleaning. My fault, I didn't catch that. I plan to buy something better, this is junk. Think of it like something a cheap landlord would purchase. Very disappointed with Home Depots return policy.

              Defective Out of the Box
              We flip 30+ houses per year and it gets frustrating to get damaged units right out of the box. This particular unit failed the home inspection and it's never been used. The front right element does not work properly. We don't have time to sit at a vacant property, wait for a technician to arrive in a multi hour window, and then come back for another appointment with the part. Home Depot should take these damaged units out of the box and exchange. What a waste of time and money.

                Coils blocked by knobs.
                OK it’s basically an entry level stove but…. The oven takes a long time to heat up even to just 350. Mostly I need 400 so it’s quite a wait. A basic design function miss is if you draw a line straight up from the edge of the large rear coil it runs into a knob. Example: A stock pot the same diameter of the large rear coil can’t fully overlap the coil because the pot hits the knob. This renders the rear coil practically useless for anything other than a sauté pan. I imagine this isn’t a problem with electronic controls.

                            Awesome flat top!
                            I received my new stove on 12/14/23 and was cooking on it that same night. I've been wanting a flat top stove for some time now and finally got one. I am very satisfied with the GE stove I chose. I'm sure we will have many family meals prepared on the stove and in the oven. Thanks GE for a great product.

                              Needs more clarity / Description: self clean
                              I just received today everything on it is working however, I was disappointed as it said it was a self-cleaning oven. Beware it is not nor does it have a self-cleaning option.

                                The Electric Range is modern looking . The white exterior fits perfectly with my refrigerator. Easy to use and variable burner sizes accommodates for different pots and pans.

                                        I bought this range in Aug. It produces excessive heat whenever I turn the oven on. Oven door and range surface become "too" hot and the whole kitchen becomes hot too. The heat is not ordinary and is dangerous. One of its burner is tilted too!

                                          Do NOT Buy, Glass Top Broke after 15 Months
                                          Bought it on July 27, 2022. It was delivered and set up 3 days later. it is now November 14, 2023. The glass top cracked tonight when I was starting water to boil for fettuccine. So upset now becausewe dont have money to buy a new stove after only 15 months. I am so sick of appliances breaking in less than 2 years. This is our second stove and I also just had to replace a GE washer and a GE refrigerator. I will not purchase another GE product again. I was always careful when cooking on this stove because I didn't want to scratch the glass top. Not happy at all now. Thanksgiving and Christmas will be ruined because I won't be able to afford food or Christmas presents because I have to save up to now buy a new stove.

                                            Works Great So Far
                                            I'm new to a glass stove top so that has been interesting getting used to, not trying to mess it up while cleaning it or burn myself LOL. I love all the features and I use the timer often and don't worry, it will never let you forget. It beeps at 1 minute and then continuously every few seconds after it's done to let you know. Very happy with it since it's delivery a few days ago.
