Freestanding Gas Stoves Stainless Steel

My wife and I just got this delivered on Sept. 22nd, which I believe is the first day it was available for sale as it's a new model. She's always wanted a double oven, and we don't have the space for the typical wall model in our condo. I must say it's quite the impressive sight. It looks expensive - and it should because it is expensive for a non-luxury brand. But you get what you pay for - the quality is there and you can see and feel the difference between this and your typical $1,400 range. It comes with an iron grill/griddle that runs on the center 5th burner (the existing grate must first be removed). The iron grates are much lighter than many stoves, so they are easy to remove for cleaning. GE has an excellent reputation for its gas ranges as per Consumer Reports, and I expect this one to be no different. The cooking performance has been excellent on both the stovetop and the oven so far. We haven't tried the convection function yet though, so can't comment on that.

It has a tri-ring burner which is basically three burners in one. It's kind of hard to explain, but really cool once you see it in person. You have separate controls for both ovens on the keypad, which is really easy to operate with just a touch. It can be locked for cleaning or to keep children from playing with it. The upper oven is the smaller one. It's good for pizzas, cookies, cakes, and other smaller food dishes. It's probably the one most people will use most often. The lower oven is the bigger one you'll use for roasts, turkeys and other bulkier foods. The upper oven contains the broiler, while the lower oven has convection capability.

A few notes of caution about this model: 1) You give up the storage drawer most ranges have, so be prepared to store all your pans elsewhere; 2) If you have problems bending down or picking up heavy food trays from down low, this model is not for you. The lower oven is basically on the floor and can be hard to access; 3) This model is slightly deeper than many ovens - be sure to measure before buying to ensure nearby cabinet doors and drawers will still open without hitting it; 4) Lastly, understand that this is a slide-in model, which means the sides aren't finished and you'll have a gap between the back of the range and the wall if your space isn't made for this type of range.
