Poor quality and design

I was impressed by the overwhelming positive reviews this oven had and excited to see it was available in the “ white” finish which many manufacturers have discontinued. I was pleased with my purchase… until the stove was delivered 5 days ago. I’m hoping this unit is a quality control slip, GE!
I immediately noticed the exterior of the stove got quite hot to the touch at average temp of 375 . The panel supporting the burner dials and the entire oven door were hot. The broiler door was dangerously hot with just the oven, not broiler, on. This may have been due to the faulty /poor quality oven door gasket . I soon discovered the gasket was not even secured to the oven door in 4 areas!!!
The unit has poor design.
The oven’s heat ventilation blows straight across the entire top of the stove burners which makes it uncomfortably warm to stand and use the cook top with the oven on.
The broiler is dangerous to use. It is so low to the floor and has minimal interior space. A hand burn waiting to happen.
This stove is being returned and replaced with a higher quality unit. ( Not GE) Sorry GE..what a disappointment.

I purchased this range for my rental unit because my range broke . I was never notified of the time of delivery, I had to log on and find out for myself when the delivery window was scheduled. I had to take two hours of sick time because I’m a shift worker and needed the time to make it before the delivery window. The delivery went fine and they showed up at reasonable time . The range was damaged on multiple times . I had to take delivery of the range because I can’t leave my rental without a working range/ oven for multiple days .
I scheduled a return / delivery of a replacement range for tomorrow (14 June) I requested a later delivery window since I’m a shift worker who gets off a shift at 0730 in the mornings. I was never notified of the delivery window for the second time I had to log in and check . The delivery window is from 7000 - 9300 tomorrow . Now I have to take an another two hours of sick leave so I can get down to the city in time to make the delivery widow .
I called today asking if they can push my window back an hour or to a later window tomorrow. I was told they cannot push it back because of the delivery window . I was told to if I needed to reschedule for another day I could . This not acceptable not everyone works normal 9-5 jobs .

I purchased this oven to replace my old one. My previous oven and other appliances are black, but decided to go with the stainless steel as I'm tired of the black, and looking for a new look, (but not quite ready to replace everything). Fortunately, the stainless with all the black glass and grill racks blends in perfectly with the other appliances.

Poor quality

Poor quality. The burn caps immediately stained after the first use and the stains won’t come out, the coating on the griddle is already peeling off and there’s a crack underneath it, and I had to have the inside oven seal replaced. It was delivered with a tear in it. The range is very nice to look at and it’s a good price but you get what you pay for. I’ve only had this range five months and it’s already starting to break down. I also don’t like the broiler on the bottom. You literally have to get on your knees to use it. I would not recommend this. I am going to have to get the griddle replaced soon. Luckily I purchased the geek squad warranty as the griddle cost about $90 to replace. Save yourself some trouble and buy a more expensive higher quality range.

Got this to replace another lower end GE range from the 90’s. It’s pretty low quality build in general. Some poor coatings, especially on the griddle plate. Screws misaligned, not fully screwed in, or just missing entirely. Outer frame askew, as well as the broiler drawer being askew and warped. Stainless finish marks easily.

This GE range has a beautiful exterior and the performance is great. The burns have 3 different sizes: one small, two medium, and one large.

I was so lucky to get this as a Black Friday deal. I feel like a princess with this stove. It is so beautiful. I got the matching microwave about 6 months earlier. This replaced a 20 year old GE oven, which the burners still worked, but the temp control inside the oven finally stopped working. The guys who installed my stove were top notch. They were very skilled, respectful, and informative.
