GE Cafe CS980STSS Review

This range not only looks good it performs extremely well also. The one thing we discovered after our first glasstop range is that keeping the glass clean is a very important thing to do to keep the cooktop performing as it should. It should be cleaned after the surface cools and it must be cleaned before a subsequent use of any burner which had any spill over. Our first glasstop range is the one this replaces. It was a Jenn-Aire. This range is eleven years newer and it performs like it. That Jenn-Aire was our first glass cooktop. We had always had gas ranges prior to that. The feature we have used the most is the griddle. It is a fantastic feature offered on the GE range. We wondered how a cast iron gridde would work with the glasstop, After all cast iron is extremely heavy and extremely abrasive and would normally scratch the heck out of a glass top BUT, this griddle is made especially for the GE Range and has highly polished brass bead "feet" at the four corners. These glide across the glass without leaving a mark. The oven itself performs very well. The convection roast feature is a great and uncommon feature. The convection feature itself works extremely well providing even heat throughout. The extra burner behind the back wall really does make a difference. Some on line reviews had a few complaints about the touch controls being easily accidentally activated. This must be a clumsiness issue. One, it hasn't happened even once with us and two, if it ever were to happen you must press the start function for the oven to react to any accidental pushing of the touchpad. We would buy this range again without hesitation. And, of course we would recommend it to our family and friends if they lived in an area without gas available.

I was in the market for a new slide in range. My previous one was an old beater some how still kicking from the 80's. I found this as a floor model and got a great price on it.
I am in love with it. I love the design, the professional look, and the vast amount of options. Again, I'm coming from an ancient range, but I am familiar with modern capabilities. Knobs lock in place and do not twist if bumped into like a couple of the Samsung models I looked at. Safety is a primary concern due to having children. I am a average daily cooker who makes anything from baked chicken, casseroles etc in this. I would definitely recommend this.

Has convection & conventional oven options, adjustable size burners on the top. It cooks very fast, took some getting used to the settings. We are very pleased with it. It looks awesome in our kitchen.

For an appliance priced in this range, it should be made better. I don't use this range much. And the power light cover for the center burner just randomly fell off.

This was a fantastic purchase. We got 5 cooking burners and two full ovens, not just a storage or baking drawer. This was in December of 2015, which really represents how advanced the stove really was.
Then the burners stopped working last month. We had GeekSquad come out and they determined that the wiring harness had failed (melted to the back panel). For three weeks they tried to get all the necessary parts, only to discover that GE no longer makes a wiring harness that works. As a result, our $2200 stove has to be replaced with one that has less functionality. I wish so much we could have gotten another one of these but clearly GE figured out they were just too much awesomeness for the money and retired them.
Hopefully our KitchenAid that is being delivered tomorrow will have a longer shelf life.
Buy GeekSquad protection - it’s worth the cost when your appliance costs $2k or more.

We have just installed the Range. The front left cooktop heating element did not work properly. Call the serviceman - came to the house for severice. He checked the cooktop and found that the left rear element did not work at all. Now I have a NEW top of the line Range that needs TWO new heating elements. Very disappointing.

Range is good so far

I have had the range for a couple months now and I have enjoyed it so far. The oven cooks very well and I love all of the options with the convection range.
I did have one issue that I think could cost more money down the road but it wasn't to major for me. The issue I has was with the plastic feet on the range. They are made of cheap plastic and don't fit exactly right in the holes so they are a little slanted. I'm not sure if this is just an issue with my unit, because it was a floor model, or if it's an issue with all units. I actually had to get new ones because the threads on the screws were already broke on the plastic screws. I really hope that I don't have to continue to purchase these.

A Beautiful and High Performance Oven/Range/Stove

This looks different than any other range/stove out there. It looks like a gas stove with the way the knobs are designed. The dual ovens work great; especially if you plan to cook big! Fast and powerful burners. The skillet works great too!
