There's not alot of difference other than cosmetics between the Cafe and Profile. To be honest, I'd be more concerned about the GE refrigerator and dishwasher than the Cafe range. You might take a look at the Bosch ranges.

Frigidaire makes a dual fuel range with similar features. It's a slide-in, and it costs considerably less than the Cafe, some places around $1500. List price is about $2100.

Here's a link for it: frigidaire

Thanks maxq and egganddart49! We need an all gas range, so I'll check to see if Frigidaire has a similar model. I'll also check on the Bosch. Something else my husband just told me we need to consider is how the range will affect our granite install. Hope that doesn't narrow down our choices too much.

I'm pretty sure the Frigidaire does have an all-gas range. We just bought the Cafe, but haven't yet installed it. I am concerned about it now that I"ve read recent postings here. The Frigidaire has similar, but not quite as "high end" features and look as the Cafe, but it was also a lot less expensive. It might have been smarter to go with it, but we were lured into the Cafe by the slightly heftier look.

Good luck with your range decision. It was a tough one for me.

I have had a Bosch range (700 series) for just over a year. Fortunately I had the extended service contract (a reward from the dealer because Bosch shipped the wrong stove twice before getting it right on the third attempt). I had just passed the one year mark when a burner died. Then, before that part came, the oven locked up in the self-cleaning mode (without going into the cleaning cycle) and couldn't be opened. Now, after waiting two months for the part, I am being told that the part is no longer available and the service contract will offer me a new stove (GE Profile) or cash. I loved the Bosch when it worked, and I'm on my second Bosch diswasher, but the stove has been a disaster.
