An afternoon of visiting a few stores and a price match with 10% off, brought the price down to about $1800. Still not cheap... but we found out quickly that today, $1000 doesn't even buy you a nice gas stove with extra features... just a gas stove cheaply made. We've owned this for about 2-months and it's fun to cook again! I can actually cook with 5 large pots and pans at the same time! They moved the burners out 3-inches, so it's still 30" but you have more cooking area. I can boil water in 5 minutes, program it to shut off after the food has cooked for a set period of time, and the center burner cooks pancakes and bacon just perfectly at 6000 BTU's (all other stoves with oval center burners were 5000 BTU's). Sorry, haven't tried the convection yet.... but it converts automatically. Have read other people's concerns over the fan noise, honestly we haven't noticed, but most of our cooking is done well under 425 degrees. The stove will give you a nice commercial look, one burner gives you professional level 18,000 BTU's, and for the price it's a great choice. If you're a professional chef/cook, I can't imagine you would be happy, it would be all look and not enough power. But for us, large family, cooking 2-meals at home per day, sometimes different items for the finicky kid, it had all the extra features we wanted at a great price without getting into a commercial stove with a big price tag.

GE CAFE 30" stove. Directly behind the top of oven door are air vents that vent lots of hot air onto stainless steel panel behind knobs, onto stainless steel knobs and top of panel directly above knobs. Knobs become extremely hot, enough so that I need to use a hot mat to control knobs when using the oven for baking and I am using the top for cooking. To me the GE Cafe has a poorly designed feature that needs to be corrected....I'm concerned due to safety reasons for myself, my young grandchild and anyone that might be using my stove, ie. guest or other visiting family members. I called GE, they sent repairmen to check out my complaint. He called GE while here, they suggested removing oven door, shoring up the door to make it tighter. I told them this wasn't where the problem is, the issue is with the oven vents that are blowing hot air directly onto knobs and panel. This can't be good for wiring that controls the touch control panel, plus the safety issue that I'm most concerned about. I asked GE if this was going to be rectified, representive said NO.
