Customers commend the air fryer function, ease of use, and sleek appearance of the 5.3 Cu. Ft. Slide-In Electric Convection Range. Many appreciate the fast heating speed and convenient Wi-Fi capabilities. However, some users find the knob placement inconvenient and the glass top susceptible to staining. The stainless steel finish also appears prone to smudging.
My husband and daughter have used the stove and oven. I haven't had a chance yet. I LOVE that I will no longer have to worry about scorching my arms when leaning over steaming pots to reduce the temperature. And, seeing the granite behind the stove is so very beautiful! Before, it was covered by my old range's controls. This has helped beautify our kitchen. The stovetop has choices for both small and large pots, and I am excited about that. When cooking a dinner with many components, this is so helpful! I very often have had to make due with the wrong size burner. Cleaning the stovetop is easy, and I am happy that Best Buy or GE provided a small sample of stovetop cleaner to get me started. I noticed that if I just use a wet cloth or paper towel to clean the control knob area, it leaves water stains after it dries, even sometimes when I try to dry it well after washing. But, the stovetop cleaner takes the stains off. This might not bother most people, anyway. The instruction booklet does not say what to clean the stainless steal with, in the cleaning instructions, at least not that I can see. The front of the oven has a sticker stuck to it. It was delivered like that. I will have to work on getting it off. It doesn't seem easy, but maybe some hot water and soap will do the trick. It would have been nice to have some instructions about that, too, or just to have it delivered with no sticker remnants on the front. My adult daughter loves the air fryer. She said that an air fryer is just a small version of a convection oven, so what we have is basically a convection oven inside the oven. Food cooks faster both in the oven and on the stove, and be careful if you leave food on low because it can continue to cook. Probably better to use the circle marked "warming zone" at the top. I did not buy this for the Wi-Fi, but it does have this feature. You have to look for a number on the inside of the drawer underneath the range, on the top right side of the inside of the drawer. It was not easy to find. And, you are directed to download an app. Even after entering the numbers required, I could not connect. After multiple tries, I gave up and decided to deal with it another time. I don't plan on using that feature anyway. I am sure that with some more effort, someone wanting the feature will be able to use it. So far, we love this addition to our kitchen. We couldn't afford new cabinets, but the appliances make our kitchen look and feel almost new!

I absolutely love this stove. I’ve always wanted an electric stove and I finally got one. If u r switching from gas to electric, make sure you have the right power outlet (it’s not like your regular power outlet). I had an electrician install one for me. Back to the stove… you do have to wait a while to get the oven to a certain temperature. Unless, you are using air fry or broil. You do get some stuff that just doesn’t come off from the top glass, but I think that’s all electric stoves. Another thing, when you use broil, do not place food all the way at the top, it will burn. You need to place it in the middle, since broiling heats from the top. Probably the expensive appliance I’ve bought, but well worth it.

I love this stove. It works WONDERFULLY. very easy to install and the trim package is a must buy! I use the air fry feature all the time and it’s truly no pre-heat necessary! The buttons are very easy as they are touch sensitive but not too sensitive. As someone who cooks most meals from home i’d recommend this stove to anyone
