Nice range, grill feature a plus.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this in January 2019 (I didn't have a BestBuy account so it won't show as a verified purchase) to replace the one that came with the house. My Dad bought the house in 2004, and it was built in 1999. The old range was built it the late 90's. So when it started taking a loooong time to cook a pot pie (over an hour) and started setting off the CO2 alarm when it was on - IT HAD TO GO! Wasn't necessarily looking for the same brand but I had specific needs: it had to be gas, roomy, with clock and timer. The the grill and Sabbath settings are a nice touch. This fit the bill. Also each of the burners has a different temperature level: The extra large (bottom left) is for broiling, the smallest (top left) for simmering, the large (top right) for whatever, and medium (bottom right) for sauces. At least, that what seems to make since given that each has a different burn temp. Anywhooo, this was great replacement. I just wish I had got the Slate Version - I opted for Black. And they say DO NOT use metal utensils on the grill, only plastic or wood. Well, one night I was grilling fish, and I absentmindedly used a stainless steel spatula and it got scratched. So READ the instructions and it won't get scratched.

Service was great. 1st unit had a dent, the delivery guy did not hesitate to return and offered me new unit with quick second delivery. And I was able to keep dented unit until new one arrived.

Great Online Purchase
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have zero complaints regarding this stove. Just remember to use water or dish liquid to clean w/ soft cloth to reserve the shine. (My opinion) Great design. For the price, it’s great! Had to pay 150 to the installers I was not informed of this. I had already paid 185.00 for the installation and parts. Ok, Im about safety so I paid. Gas switch valve// BB customer service did not have a clue what’s needed. Bottom line, prepare for installation incidentals.

GREAT OVEN !
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm very happy with this oven. It's easy to use and clean up is a breeze. My one "con" about this oven is the thickness of the walls of the oven. They don't seem as thick as "they were in the past". Kitchen gets rather toasty with the oven but then again I was cooking with 425F heat. Oven pre heated quickly and when it's at temp it beeps to let you know. Burners are good and light up immediately. I bought the center grate so I can use the center burner; the grate does not come with the oven; only the grill does. Delivery, set up were done professionally and the men were polite and courteous. I inspected the oven before they took it off the truck and it was fine. I love the color. I'm looking forward to cooking on this oven for many years to come !

Mostly good
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall - happy, but might have chosen differently had we known some things. First the bad, the griddle on the center burner is coated aluminum, rather than cast iron as it may appear. GE sells a replacement that is cast iron. Reviewers elsewhere report the aluminum one doesn't hold up well. Personally, I just hate cooking on a chemically coated surface of metal connected with Alzheimer's disease, knowing there's no way the coating isn't going to flake off in your food over time. So factor the additional cost for the cast iron replacement or the cost of an alternative oven into your calculations if you care. Secondly, my unit was missing some screws, including for a front bottom flange piece that just dangles. I can find some replacements at the hardware store, so not big deal; but not sure how a piece just dangling loose gets by quality control. I see in the detailed specs the broiler is a drawer type, but it did not jump out at me at all in my initial research. We might have chosen a different model, had we known. I'm not sure it will make a real difference once we get use to it. I know many older ovens were built that way, but I had never seen one. Is it made that way to be cheap? Anyway, spouse hates that feature. You have to bend way down to get food in and out. That drawer door doesn't open far enough to make it easy either. The leveling feet are nearly impossible to turn by hand. You will need a tool and most standard wrenches wont' fit due to odd shape and not having a proper hex nut in the middle. They are very cheap plastic. The ones on the back cannot really be spun all the way up, due to another protrusion from the oven body projecting downward. The oven will sit on those in back if you spin the feet up. Now the good: I had to do the conversion from natural gas to propane. I was very glad all the parts were included and the process was not overly difficult. Provided instructions are pretty clear and videos are available on the web if you're unsure. Operating on propane, all burners operate very cleanly and are adjustable to very good levels. Even the very biggest burner can be turned down to a truly low setting that will not burn food too easily. Having a light in the oven is a small thing, but not all manufacturers include one. Nice to have.

Loving the new freestanding gas range!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was in a market for new stove. This fits the criteria we were looking in terms of price and features [freestanding gas range]. Added bonus was that it is GE brand. Liked the middle griddle, and it lays flat with the rest of the grills, unlike the previous stove it replaced. Oven works as expected. The buttons and simple display is easy to understand and operate. Since we haven't used the oven much, we haven't been able to properly check if the Steam Clean [1-cup of water] works as advertised/instructed. Delivery was quick from time of ordering [within one week]. Installation was tricky since the our gas valve needed to be updated/replaced to install this stove. After that was completed, the rest of the installation was a breeze. The delivery/install persons even checked the main functions of the stove. Then, repeated the process with me to show that all [knobs, buttons, etc] was working properly to use the burners and oven. They also emphasized the steps needed to prepare a new oven for the first time to get rid of any odors and manufacturing residue prior to initial use.

So far very pleased with purchase
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had this for a couple of months now. Works just fine. Temperature seems even, cook time is always the longer time, e.g. 20-25 minutes it will be the 25 minutes, Nice size oven, broiler works well. It has auto clean but haven't tried that yet, seems easy. The top griddle is nice but I don't use it as much as I thought I would. Maybe I need to cook pancakes more often. Bacon works well on it and I have used it to quick grill some hotdogs and brown some brats. Reason for 4 stars is due to some small complaints. The timer is goofy. These are small complaints but still an aggravation for me, Timer auto goes up/down 5 min and kinda quick. I always seem to overshoot the time wanted and end up having to hit the button like 12 times for a 12 minute timer. Also, you can't add minutes to the timer once it starts without turning the timer off first...not a big deal but like I said it is an aggravation for me. Also, the broiler only comes with a rack, should come with a tray as well. The broiler is a little difficult to use as it is so low to the floor. Oh, and I didn't get a manual. Best Buy said to print it off the web, or they would have their Geek Squad print me a copy (one sided, really?) but for this money I should have the manufacturer manual. As I said, small complaints. Overall, I am pleased with the oven. Best Buy's delivery was awesome. I had to reschedule the delivery and it was easy to do. They were quick and professional. They disconnected and removed the old oven and even gave me time to clean up a melted mess of a jolly rancher that was under the old one, eww!
