Does anyone have the GE Cafe Free Standing Radiant Range?

Here is link:

Just wondering what you like/dislike about it. It is free-standing range, but has the look of a slide-in.

Any comments are welcomed.

I don't have the range, but there are frequent comments about the smaller oven - it takes a long time to heat up. I don't know if that is also true about the smaller oven on the Electrolux range.

I also like this range, but DH doesn't care for the no-back look. I cannot find a floor sample. If anyone has it, they have gas.

However, for probably less money I will seriously consider a Samsung or GE induction.

michaelct, I'd be interested in others' opinions on these 2, also. If you don't get any other response here, you might like to try posting in the Kitchens forum, also. Here is a link that might be useful: Kitchens Forum

I'm going tomake a wild guess that it is the same as the radiant version of the same size except for the induction top. This should give a good clue as to the oven size and functionality.

GE Cafe range--does it need filler?
Q
Comments (9)
Hi mmme, I had the GE Cafe AG range (but don't anymore). We installed it without the 4 inch backguard simply because the backguard was backordered at the time. It looked fine and was made to fit perfectly between standard cabinets/counters (25 inches) without any type of filler strip--it is indeed a free-standing range. The backguard would have been nice just to keep food from falling behind the stove or splashing the wall (we also had not yet installed our tile backsplash at the time), but it is absolutely not necessary. Hope this helps--good luck with your kitchen and this range!

I believe this unit is an update of the older CGS980SETSS range, isn't it? You might try to search on that one, as I would guess they would perform in a related, if not highly similar, manner. There is also a CGS990SETSS, if you haven't already seen it. The 985 has the 1 cu. ft. warming drawer, and the 990 is the double oven model. Good luck.

gsciencechick: you might already know this, but GE makes a "backsplash" for the GE Cafe for around $200. My friend just got it for hers.

Oh, that could help! What we like are the front knobs, which most electric do not have.

Seriously, though, I may go with induction anyways.

Stopped at Sears Outlet after grocery shopping, and they have one there! It is priced at $1849, which I don't really think is that great of a deal as it is often on Sears website for $2249.

There is one at my Sears Outlet as well - I don't remember how much though. I thought is was a slide-in and got so excited as my range is on its last leg. But, it is not so I am passing on it.
