Product review (5 stars): Physical review...updated
This is more for information and not a review. I called GE for information as I am interested in this range. It is being manufactured in LAFAYETTE GEORGIA and does not start production until 10/1/13. It will not be available for shipping until near 10/14. This is per GE.

Hopefully "good things come to those who wait" applies here.

Update 10/20/14: This range is finally showing up on Long Island. I got to see it at a local appliance retailer (NONE of the "big box" appliance places had it)
Based purely on INSPECTION in the showroom: This range is a beauty. Made with what appears to be a high quality stainless; very solid and the oven door opens and closes like a Mercedes. Fit and finish are very nice and the quality looks excellent. Made in Lafayette, GA USA on the label. I ordered it from this retailer and I will gladly post a performance review when I receive it and have a chance to use it.

UPDATE 11/9/13

I have had this range installed in my house for a little over one week. From a build standpoint, it is made beautifully. It works much much better than I would've ever anticipated. The preheating is much faster than my previous Kenmore and the electric smooth cooktop works beautifully and cleans beautifully. The front electronic touch control panel is very intuitive to use, is backlit, however one must be careful that it is sensitive and leaning into it with your stomach or other body part could change settings. The control panel is all glass and extremely easy to keep clean.
Of course only time will tell regarding longevity and overall reliability of this range but we are incredibly happy with the build quality and performance of this unit thus far. Looking forward to my cooking my Thanksgiving turkey in this puppy
