Well I ordered my duel fuel 4 weeks ago and was told I would have it in a few weeks. Flash forward to today and the southeast GE rep called me (after all my complaints to the store where purchased) and said they would not have one available until November 15. I am so bummed!! He said that they had plenty of all gas just did not forsee such a high demand for the df. The df range was what first drew me to the new line. The frig, micro and dishwasher were delivered last week. (I love them and love the look) I told him I wanted it in time for Thanksgiving. I know I did not answer your question but just to let you know if you want one get on the list now. I so want my new range!!

What part of the country are you guys in? We've already shipped out about a half dozen AG's to customers and are on about a 2 week B/O on DF. I'm in the NY metro area.

PS The range looks and feels like a solid item, and its got tons of features for the money.

I'm in Maine.

I just recommended that range to a friend for her beach house. I think it has huge bang for the buck. I love the idea of the center burner and the small second oven is so handy. An 18k burner. They really are trying to compete.

I received my AG over a month ago. No problem about the DF stock levels at that time. I'm in the SE.

IÂve been drooling over this range for months! But, I was disappointed that the Café MW is not convection and yet it is selling for $669! I donÂt get that And, I was also surprised that the Café fridge is not French door. So, IÂll be mixing and matching :-)

I am getting my DF Cafe range on Tuesday though it will not be hooked up for another week. I love the look and the features. I did get the microwave, but I ended up getting a different fridge and a different dishwasher. I am in the West and it took me 2 weeks to have it ordered and to get it delivered. I will dutifully report back when the range is up and running.

I am in CT and just had my delivered yesterday. It looks beautiful, but alas, no connections yet, so I can't comment on anything else.

Oh, one thing though. It may seem minor, but my girlfriend has a GE cooktop and the one thing she HATES is that the little rubber pieces are on the grates. They fall off whenever she washes them. On the cafe, I noticed they are on the range itself. It seems like such a silly thing, but it drives her crazy.

Wow! Lots of new Café owners! :-)

Pabiabi  IÂm not following what your talking about. Are you saying that the "problem" has been corrected on the Café???

pabiabi - I guess you finally settled on a range. I remember from your posts a few months ago that you were looking for form over function at that time. What made you decide on this range?

BTW...hope your reno is going well. Can't wait to see finished pics.

I am on the Southside of Atlanta. I'm kindave bummed that I am having problems getting mine when everyone else seems to be having no problems. It's not like I'm in the middle of nowhere and I purchased from a large store. Do you think the rep was feeding me a line of cra*?? I really hope I have it by mid November

Mahlgold, That is so funny that you remember that! Yes, I "needed" a "beefier" range. Well, I am glad I waited for delivery until the last moment, because the week I was to have the Kenmore delivered I heard about the GE Cafe. It had exactly what I wanted, which was a second oven and the knobs on the front. I have heard that it takes 30 minutes for the bottom (smaller) oven to heat up to 450, so it clearly isn't something I intend to use very often. BUt it will be nice for rolls or potatoes or something.

LIke I said, I like the way it LOOKS, we will see how it performs. The addition is coming along (way too slowly). The walls are up and painted, the floors are in, so we have some living space now. But my new kitchen is completely void of any cabinets, I have a free floating range, and the Electrolux Fridge and Freezer so far. Here is a bit of an update though:

This is my empty kitchen. The odd paint job is because my sister in law came and did a faux paint and saved herself some arm strength by not doing the areas that will be behind cabinets.

And here is the new family room, the sofa has to find a new room to live in:

When my cabinets come in (which is supposed to be THIS week, but then again, it was supposed to be LAST week), I will post an update in the Kitchens forum.

Jeri- yes, I guess you can say it has been "fixed". I imagine that her particular model still has the rubber feet on the grills, but I am glad that a change to that has apparently been made on the Cafe.

Bump. Have you guys gotten your Cafe ranges yet? I hope they've been delivered in time for Thanksgiving. How are you liking them? I've yet to hear any first hand impressions...

mine was delivered 8 days ago but i'm waiting on my countertops to hook it up. it sure looks awesome. but i agree i've yet to hear 1 person say they've used it/ so com'on any feedback? i also ahve the cafe microave which i hooked up a week ago and its simply awesome and so sleek looking

Mine was installed on Monday. Looks AWESOME. From a cooking standpoint, I've only had time to broil some fish and bake some frozen pizza! The fish was great, however. I'm looking forward to trying it out on some more heavy duty cooking next week.

goldengirl-did you get yours yet? Saw them at Brandsmart in Marietta today.

plumorchard lol. i live in kennesaw. had mine delivered 2 weeks ago and my granite is being installed tomorrow so i'll be hooking cafe up this week

My Cafe dual fuel was installed this past weekend and I got it up and running. It looks terrific. After we got the gas line connected, it was pretty easy to set up.

I have done very little with it yet besides boiling some water. It is nice to finally have a working kitchen.

YES!!! Duel fuel Finally got here on last Friday. My granite went in Wednesday. I waiting until then to install everything. Still have to have plumbing installed and I have not yet chosen a tile backsplash or paint. I went to my families for Thanksgiving so I have only cooked a grilled cheese.(Pretty Sad LOL) Everyone is coming here for Christmas so I still get the chance.

re brosamj - what kind of REF did you get. We love the Cafe but are uncertain about a side-by-side. Am considering a J-A FD, but am concerned that the finishes are a bit different.

I, too, am interested in hearing more about how those who have been using the GE Cafe appliances are liking them. We are about to make our decision on our new appliances for our upcoming remodel...so I've been anxious to hear!

We are also disappointed the refrige isn't a french-door style. And, concerned about buying a different refrige and not having the finish match. I would think the GE Profile french-door finish would match, and that's probably the one we'll go with. It seems pretty nice!

PLEASE...post your opinions and experience with this new line of GE appliances! I've been waiting on pins and needles!!!
