"I want either the GE Cafe gas range or Electrolux gas range"
I need to replace my current Frigidaire gas range. I've read a lot of online reviews which compare the GE Cafe versus the Electrolux with Wave-Touch. Help!

GE Cafe gas range vs. Electrolux gas range
GE Cafe Griddle in the MiddleMy big picture summary:
GE Cafe Stand-Alone Gas Range
Model Number: CGS980SEMSS
Pros:
* Professional, higher end look
* 5th burner, griddle-in-the-middle is very nice & functional
* Lower baking tray can bake up to 450 degrees
* Metal burner knobs and skirt ^
Cons:
* Noisy fan when baking over 425 degrees
* Will stick out further than a slide-in
* Will have a gap between side and cabinets
* Not a true slide-in, but is functionally one
Electrolux Slide-In Gas Range
Model Number: EW30GS65GS
Pros:
* Sleeker, cleaner, more modern look
* Smooth, ball-bearning sliding oven racks
* Nice, Wave-Touch control pad
* Pretty blue oven interior and nicely balanced oven door
Cons:
* No 5th burner, top looks sparse and boring
* Bottom warming tray only, can't cook in it
* Reviewer complaints about display malfunctions
* Weirder, funkier look
I did a lot of research online and in-store. As far as online discussions go, this Chowhound thread has a lot of great information.
I purchase my GE Cafe during my state's recent tax-free weekend, but you can get a tax-free purchase anytime by buying online. Just do you research first, maybe even visit a local appliance store and then buy online.
With an item this large, it's worth getting an Amazon Prime account for the free shipping. Plus you now get free movie streaming when you are an Amazon Prime user!
^ The GE Cafe originally had plastic knobs and a plastic skirt sandwiched between the knobs and range front. Early users complained about the flimsy feel and potentially melting knobs and skirts. These have since been replaced by all-metal knobs and skirts.

Hi Carole,
Ge Cafe baking trayMy mom just spent a bunch of time shopping for a new gas range for her remodeled kitchen and she too came down to a choice between the GE Cafe and the Electrolux gas range with wave touch.
My mom ended up choosing this GE Cafe because she loved that it essentially had a second oven with the baking tray.
We visited a bunch of appliance stores, read a ton of online reviews and talked with any friend or neighbor who had recently done a kitchen remodel.
We were surprised at how many of them also narrowed their choices down to the GE Cafe and Electrolux! They are both great gas ranges. The Electrolux has a sleeker, more modern look while the GE Cafe look more like a professional range.
Either seem to be good options, though!

How Much does a Gas Range Cost?
Most of the time, this will include the delivery of your new range and the take-away of your old gas range. Expect this charge to be between $75 and $150. In most states, gas ranges will also need to be installed by a licensed plumber (find an appliance installer near you) which will cost around $200 or $250.
Most appliance stores will price-match, so shop around. As well, you can oftentimes avoid paying sales taxes by buying online. Do you research and make sure and look around for any manufacturer's rebates.
Gas Range Cost Summary:
- $1,750 to $2,750: cost of the range shipped and installed.
- $150 to $250: cost of plumber for hook-up.
- $75 to $150: delivery and haul-away cost (sometimes included in purchase price).
