Customer Reviews for GE 4.8 cu. ft. Gas Range in Black

Unsure about this until we find out exactly what is malfunctioning

Performance is fine for an entry level range. The clock failed within 3 months of purchase. Even clocks in 1960s automobiles lasted longer than that.

We needed something that matched the appearance of our 1920's Maine camp, but offered the convenience of a modern appliance. We saw this Artistry stove at a friend's vacation rental and knew it was the solution to replacing our 1920's electric vintage oven in our vacation rental. The simplicity of design won us over. Sealed cooktop makes it ideal for easy clean-up in a vacation rental.

I just bought an 1854 farm house with attached barn. There weren't any appliances. I wanted them to fit in with the style and age of the house. This stove is the closest possible that is also modern on the inside! Love it!

Has all the features I need, works great & I LOVE the retro look, it's perfect in my vintage kitchen!

This range fit our space and budget. I like the retro look, but the knobs turn easily when on, so must be careful not to brush against them while cooking. There were very strong fumes for the first few uses of the oven/broiler, but after that, the fumes are gone. The clock is a little loud, and there is no timer. Otherwise, I am happy with it.

only problem is its a bit hot at the back on the top when oven on.. like pan handles get really hot just by hovering over the top... think the vent is located there...I was scared at first but I guess its normal..

Love the analog clock. Going back to the good old days.

I needed a propane stove that did not have a lot of electronic settings as I live off the grid. I love that this stove has the sealed top and has very sturdy burner grates. For others who are looking for a stove/oven for an off the grid situation, one thing that I did not take into consideration is that the oven has a glow plug that requires more energy than our solar can handle, so when baking the generator needs to be on. For everyone else, if you want something that looks nice and is well built, but simple, then I would put this at the top of your list.

We wanted to create a restaurant style kitchen with a more industrial look. This range was the perfect fit. Great old school design with actual knobs on the front, which is hard to find on a quality range these days.

Wanted a gas range without all the electronics. When i saw this i was so excited to find this. So i ordered and now a very happy. Look's great in kitchen.

This range is just what I was looking for. It has a large oven window, burner tops that come off for easy cleaning and a real honest to goodness clock! I know I will enjoy it many years.

Purchased and have been using the range for a couple of weeks and am very pleased with my purchase. I love the simple, retro look. It works great so far. I purchased the Artistry refrigerator about 2 years ago and am absolutely crazy about it and would definitely recommend it. Will be purchasing the GE Artistry dishwasher to match the other pieces.

Generally, we like our new range. We were a little disappointed that it doesn't make a ring when it is pre-heated. It just has a light that goes on/off so you have to watch it. Also, it doesn't have a cover for the oven light. I don't think that's where they're going to save any real money. It's the details like that would be more impressive........ It seems very efficient - both stove top & oven, however. Knobs work nicely. Oven door doesn't stay open well for putting somethinng in. Just the right amount of stainless steel on black - looks great!

Hands down the best stove I've ever cooked on! I own the range, refrigerator and dishwasher and I am VERY pleased with the quality and efficiency of each product. As a designer, I really appreciate the minimalism and wise design. I consider myself an experienced cook, and I feel my food even comes out better with this range—great, even heating. An awesome product within an awesome series :)

It works great - looks fantastic too! We are so happy with the purchase.

We recently bought this new range and so far I really like it. I like the older look. It reminds me when I was a kid. However, there is one thing that I would change. The bigger burner is on the right front (looking at the range) and I would much prefer it in the back. It would be more practical for me. Overall, it works well and so far so good!

I bough this stove a month a go, and I love it. Is simple, turns on quick and the color contrast the white with the steal make it a whole.

WOW! What a pretty appliance! Retro with class! I love the analog clock and large, easy to read knobs! Simple, classy and a steal at the price!

If you're looking for a retro vibe you'll love this range. It's a great size, not as bulky as my last range. Works great, love the simplicity of the old school clock and knobs. There's no timer and the oven settings are on the dials-they aren't digital. I find it charming and just got used to setting the timer on my microwave to bake something.

Searched all over to get a manual oven with sealed burners

Just installed our the new GE Artistry Series Gas Oven (black) in our kitchen and we are pleasantly satisfied. The delivery was fast and friendly. As for the actual gas range its sleek, nice, and has that " retro" old school feeling that we all like.

The styling of this range is fantastic. The control knobs are easy to handle, and the numbering on them is easy to read. I was very happy that the outside of the oven including the glass is safe to touch during use. The oven handle is very comfortable to hold onto and the door hinges easily up and down with little effort.

I have had the Artistry Series gas range and matching refrigerator (both in white) for nearly 3 years now and I am still in love with them. My husband and I restored a 120 year old house and have a large eat in kitchen. These appliances fit perfectly into our circa 1950's theme for the kitchen. The only problem is that the analog clock on the range runs a little slow from time to time. I was attracted to this line of appliances because of the super clean lines. They are both easy to keep clean and live up to my expectations and needs. Since we live in a very rural area, I'm in the kitchen a lot! Both of these appliances keep up with the cooking of 3 meals a day nearly every day of the year! I read on another site where these appliances were geared more towards the younger crowd with an experienced eye towards the buying of appliances. I disagree! This is my second GE gas range, and my third GE refrigerator. As mentioned above, they both have met and exceeded my expectations and needs. I would highly recommend these appliances to those who don't want all the bells and whistles. The simplicity of these appliances are a huge part of their charm and greatly contribute to their excellent functionality.

We just purchased our gas range and so far we love it. I didn't expect the handles to be as good as quality as they are, that was a bonus. We mainly bought it for the style. We have an older house and it was just the look we wanted. The oven light button isn't the best style but thats my only complaint on looks. Now I did my homework before buying this product so I was not surprised when the clock didn't work. Yes our stove is brand new, 2 weeks old. The clock works but slows down over time. I don't mind this, but you do have to turn the dial to make it the right time, close to every 3 days. The clock does make a faint hum noise as well.

Had this range for about 2 weeks. So far great temperature regulation. Love the design.

The features on this stove are retro, clean and welcome in my kitchen. It was relatively easy to switch it out from natural gas to LP and I was able to immediately start using all the features, burners, broiler and oven. Reviews I read before purchasing complained about the "noise" of the clock. It's minimal and not a problem. Why not 5 stars? I've only had it under a week!

Simple stove with a great look! Sleek, clean lines, and not overly complicated.

My husband and I got this oven as our Christmas present this year from his folks, I love how the oven feels "retro", it's very simple (no bells & whistles) and does it's job! I'm so happy to have this cute oven!

So far, it's performing as expected. Style and features are just what I wanted for our kitchen makeover, but the upper clock area is a little too plain - even a timer or a bit of trim would help. Move the GE logo up top. The preheat indicator is a great bonus feature.
