This Café electric convection range CES700P2MS1 was a great replacement to our 15 year old GE Profile convection range. We now have the added feature of wifi connection which has worked flawlessly since setting up. First update provided controls for air frying. Love the front control, heavy feeling knobs, and everything heating up quickly. We added the optional stainless steel filler kit JXFILLR1SS to keep things from falling down the cracks and to protect the glass edge. Looking forward to using the Chef Connect feature when the Café microwave CVM521P2MS1 gets installed later this month.

Love my new oven. Heats evenly and has many settings which is easy to use. Elements on top work great and have had no issues so far. Only drawback is my belly always hits the touch screen but it's really not a big deal. I enjoy that it connects to my phone also. Its such an elegant looking piece!

I have been using my new Cafe' range for almost six weeks thus far and am very pleased. The reason for only 4 stars is the lack of instructions on using the Power Boil burner. (And contrary to GE's answer to my question about it, detailed instructions are not on page 8, or elsewhere, in the self-printed manual.) Also, it is not made clear that to access the ability to Air Fry, one must connect via WiFi for an update for that feature. Once I figured that out, I have found the Air Fry feature works well. I was fortunate to find a very good sale on this range; otherwise, I probably would not have bought such an expensive range. GE's "Guaranteed to Fit" offers to reimburse up to $300 for any modifications needed to make it fit. It was necessary to have my solid surface countertop modified. I have sent in my paperwork, but so far I have heard nothing from GE after almost six weeks.
We appreciate your feedback and letting us know about the trouble you had with the instructions. We are glad that you are pleased with your new Café unit and that the issue with the using the power broil burner has since been resolved. We will look into this further as we are always looking at ways we can improve. If you should need our assistance with anything else in the future let us know.

We bought all new appliances for our brand new built home and chose the Cafe line. This 5.7 Cu. Ft. slide in range is terrific and beautiful. From the lighted rings around each burner knob to the intelligently designed slide out over tray, it simply is a high quality range and in the short time we've had it, has cooked some great meals.
The burners heat up really fast and if you remove a pan from the stove, immediately turn off and then back on when the pan is placed back on the burner. You have multiple size options and the rapid heat burner comes up to high temperature very quickly.
The oven offers two ways to clean it. The first is to place a cup of water on the bottom and use the steam cycle to clean up light spills. There's a more traditional electric clean cycle if you have more baked on messes.
The oven grates are black, and won't look dirty like most shiny stainless grates and with Wifi app control, you can control the oven from anywhere you have a Wifi connection.
The ONLY thing I would change is Cafe chose a beautiful Stainless finish, but it's a finger print magnet and I would have like to see a finish which didn't show finger prints as easily. That's a small nit for such a great range.
This is a great compliment to our kitchen and I'm sure we'll prepare many great meals in great style.

Happy is an understatement about how much we are enjoying this LG Studio range, paired with the LG Studio matte white fridge makes our kitchen look so trendy and we get tons of compliments. Did I mention this range features an air fryer function that true quality!
Beats the competition in design and functionality!

We purchased this range a few months ago after having a close call our 6 month old Samsung range almost starting our house on fire. All I can say is that I wish I would’ve gotten this one from the start. It is built well, cooks well, and has some great luxury features.
Hello-Thank you for taking the time to send us your review and congratulations on your new Cafe electric convection range purchase! We hope you enjoy cooking many great meals for you and your family and using all the great added features. If there is anything we can help with in the future please let us know. Sincerely- Dianna@Cafe

There is a small white spot on glass top. Otherwise beautiful stove. I have not had a chance to use the oven. I am st I ll getting used to knobs and temperatures. Glass top not flush to counter, should it be?
To ensure you're cleaning your cooktop properly, we recommend you review the section titled: "Cleaning the Glass Cooktop" on pages 23-24 of the Owner's Manual. The height to the cooking surface is 36 1/4 and can be adjusted by 1/4". Your counter measurements would determine if range would be flush. This range also has a Slide-In Range filler kit accessory available, if needed with part JXFILLR1SS.

I've only had this range for a month. It's beautiful, easy to clean and simple to use. The electronic interface is more user friendly than others I've seen. I like that it turns off when not in use. The knobs are well made. It was a nice surprise they have a subtle white ring of light around them to let you know they are on. The burners heat up fast and their is a quiet fan that engages with their use. The oven is huge. The middle rack with the slide out was convenient when I made a heavy roast. The probe roasting worked flawlessly. I've baked some cakes that turned out so much nicer than my last oven. I think the temperature is more accurate. However, if it wasn't it's very easy to adjust in the control panel. I'm really looking forward to cooking Thanksgiving dinner in this very elegant range!

I have been using this range for about two months now. The radiant smooth top burners heat up very quickly and I have noticed a significant reduction in boil times while still allowing one to slowly simmer at low temperatures.
The convection oven maintains very accurate temperatures and produces reliable results for anything from meats to cakes. Browning is much more even than in my previous range.
The exterior is nice looking, imparting the look of a professional range. It also has a high heat self cleaning mode. Great appliance.
Hi - We're so glad that you're enjoying your lovely Café range! We strive to make sure our products are user friendly to assure that our consumers have the best experience possible. Thank you for choosing Café, and we hope you have a wonderful day. Take care! - Don@Café

I have been burning off the TERRIBLE smell from the oven for 3 weeks and the chemical smell is STILL prominent. The enamel inside the oven is cracking off and the shelves make a grating noise when you pull shelves in and out from the cracked off enamel. Have not cooked in oven yet as I don't want the terrible smell to affect taste of food. Cook top scratches VERY EASILY and I never slide my pots. I had a different make for 17 years no problems with cooktop. HATE that all the burners cook differently. Cook top hard to keep clean and I am very clean. The rubber on the glass top catches dirt which is hatd to get out fron the rubber holding in glass cooktop. Rubber lifting from ends. Stainless is not fingerprint proof and looks terrible. For the price, this slide in electric stove should not have so many issues. The lowest height of the stove legs still has range ABOVE countertop. HATE that I have to put gap fillers. Technology is going backwards Can only use certain features of this stove if connected wifi which i HATE. HATE this stove. VERY DISGUSTED with GE
Oh no! It hurts to hear how much is wrong with your range and that you strongly dislike it. This isn't the kind of feelings we want to inspire within our customers. Your feedback means a great deal to us and we'll make sure that this is passed along to our development team. In the meanwhile, if you're continuing to have issues, please reach out to us on social media for assistance. All the best. Mike@Cafe

Stylish/Professional looking with great features.

Stove is very stylish, professional looking, and has many convenient features, besides basic cooking. I like the ability to use Alexa to turn on and preheat. Also the fact that the knobs require a slight pressure to turn on, which means you won’t accidentally brush up against them and turn on accidentally. There’s also a light ring around each knob to let you know a burner is on. All in all a very nice slide in range. Pricey but nice.

Great stove but i was not home when delivered and something must have been sticky on a burner and now i wonder how the heck to clean it. After spending 9k on appliances not even cleaned when installed.

I've had very good experiences in the past with my other GE appliances, but I'm going to be returning this Range after only 2 weeks. The reviews are correct, the timer is so faint you'll miss if you aren't close to the range. The oven makes a constant clicking noise throughout using it. GE Customer Support states this is normal and will continue as it's indicating it's working to maintain/adjust proper temperatue. It looks beautiful but the clicking is annoying.
Hi, and thanks for your insight. We're sorry to hear you're returning the range, but we understand how the clicking can be bothersome. We appreciate you considering GE Appliances, and we hope you'll give us another shot one day. -Sylvia@Cafe

We purchased this GE Cafe because we were looking for an oven/range that had not been rated poorly. Although this was a new item at the time, and there were no reviews, we felt that GE Cafe's reputation should mean it was a high quality oven/range. This is a slide in range.
Pros:
1. Range top heats up must more quickly than my old one (Old one was a Dacor.)
2. Display is nice and controls can be locked, for child safety.
3. Range top has options for several different pot sizes for several of the burners.
4. There is a warming burner on the stove top as well as a warming drawer below the oven.
Cons:
1. Volume of Chime is very low. - and we do not have any hearing issues. We even set the volume to the highest level. Despite that, it's still hard to hear the chime alerting you that the oven has preheated. We called GE and were told it can't get any higher.
2. Oven temperature was way off. This oven can be recalibrated up to 35 degrees up or down but no more. Prior to recalibration we found that when the oven was set to 350 degrees, according to the oven thermometer, the temperature never reached more than 325 degrees. A service technician told us that, even after recalibration, we should wait another 15 to 20 minutes from when we hear the chime before putting food in the oven to bake.
3. The rubber gasket where the range top meets the stainless steel has a gap. A technician tried to push it back in, but it has risen up again. The tech told us the rubber gasket was for aesthetic purposes only; however, in our opinion, it should still lay flat and flush.
Other comments about this product:
The GE Cafe instructions on cleaning the oven top are specific. They only recommend one product. - I purchased this product; however, I think that the instructions should be clear as to whether any other product specific for ceramic and glass top stoves can also be used. If not, the instructions should say that use of other products will void warranty.
The stainless steel should be cleaned with a cleaner for stainless steel.
The control panel shows finger prints very easily. Make sure you have your control panel locked when cleaning.
I gave this a 3 star review because of the Con issues. We loved our old Dacor oven/range but because a part broke that was no longer being made we had to get a new oven/range. We could not get another Dacor because we were told Dacor no longer made electric ranges. Therefore, we chose what we felt would go best with our other appliances and did not have any bad negative reviews.
