Approximately 2 years ago, my electric range with unsightly coils bit the dust.  I researched purchasing a smooth top, but was not sure I wanted to take the risk of the cook top cracking/breaking or the possibility of having to purchase new pots & pans.  I even entertained the idea of switching to gas.  After much research, I decided dual-fuel was the way to go.  Too bad I wanted the range in white - at the time, I would have to cash in the life insurance to be able to afford it.  I settled for a high-quality white gas range.  I found the gas oven unacceptable.  One day I happened to run across this range on-line.  It took a great deal of effort to find the product to view in person, but, when I did, I knew I had to have it - it is beautiful!  I am not in the financial position to purchase major appliances whenever I feel like it, but I donated my two year old gas range to a family in need and couldn't be happier with my new white GE Cafe Series dual-fuel range.
