GE 30'' Free-Standing Gas Range JGB500SEPSS Review

Although far out of the Cheapism range, the GE 30" Free-Standing Gas Range JGB500SEPSS still ranks as a winner. Users posting GE 30" Free-Standing Gas Range JGB500SEPSS reviews on sites like Abt and Home Depot rave about the oval center burner (best for keeping foods warm and for oddly-sized cookware), the power-boil burner, the continuous grills that provide a large surface area for holding pots and pans, and the model's sharp looks. GE 30" Self-Cleaning Freestanding Gas Range JGB500SEPSS reviews also reveal that consumers like the performance and contain comments noting that the oven preheats quickly and bakes evenly. We did find a GE 30" Self-Cleaning Freestanding Gas Range JGB500SEPSS review that says the knobs seem flimsy and the model seems a bit overpriced. Others, however, contend the price is fair.

The GE JGB500SEPSS is a mid-range gas model with some nice bells and whistles. It has five burners, including the oval center burner noted above, a precise simmer burner, a power boil burner (17,000 BTU) and two standard burners. Additionally, it features electronic controls and timer with digital temperature display, delay bake, preheat signal, oven light, Sabbath mode, different broil options, self-cleaning oven, and a lockout safety mode. The GE JGB500SEPSS also comes with a nonstick griddle, and the heavy cast metal grates can be loaded into the dishwasher. It measure 30 inches wide, boasts five cubic feet of oven capacity, and offers a one-year warranty. You can choose a white, black, or stainless steel finish.

The solidity and variety of features on this range are appealing. In particular we like the extra burner and the safety lockout, which is a must-have for families with children. One user deems it perfect for an avid cook, but check it out for yourself.
