GE Cafe Series Stove
Hi there- We need a new stove and are contemplating a GE Cafe Series stove with 5 burners including a powerful 18,000 BTU burner. It costs around $2300, which is just in our budget. Does anyone have any experience with this or any other GE stove? Or, is anyone in love with their current stove…

Ideally, we’d love a Blue Star or Wolf or Capital (we are serious cooks), but can’t swing it now.
This oven looks good but has a really annoying fan at the back of the range. It comes on when the oven temperature is over 375 degrees and after you shut the oven off the fan stays on for 15 minutes… I’m not a happy customer.
I am looking into the GE Cafe stove as well…I found out it is on display at Home Depot…but is so new that it is not available for orders yet.
I have hated my GE appliances, but don’t have the stove. But, their repair fellas are great. I would lean toward the high end Kenmore line…gets good ratings on consumer reports.
And, as for dual fuel, it’s great b/c your oven temp is much more regulated than w/gas, but you still get the great gas power on the cooktop.
Try A. J. Madison. Their website is ajmadison.com.
What’s the deal with dual fuel, do you notice a big difference with an electric oven? I’ve always had gas.
And thanks for all the info, everyone!
We LOVE our Jenn Air dual fuel 30″ stove. Good looking slide-in style + great convection oven + two burners convert to a grill. We’ve had it for 7 years when it cost about $1,850. I believe it’s now around $2,400. Call J&R on 7th Ave in PS and ask Ralph for his best price.

I think that Build it Green place (is it Bklyn or Queens?) often sells used and scratched Vikings, Wolfs, etc. Another option: buy pro gear at a restaurant supply joint on the bowery, or, to reallllly get it cheap, go to a restaurant auction. Pick up a deep fryer while yer at it.
Ive had a GE Profile for the past two years and we were happy with it.
