Electrolux EI30EF45QS vs GE PGS950SEFSS

The range resembles a top of the line slide-in unit, but it doesn’t need to have an additional countertop behind the range. Its high-quality stainless steel body looks truly elegant.

When in double convection mode, the oven performs very well, since the heat is dissipated evenly throughout the oven.

The cooktop consists of 4 burners and a warming zone. The two back burners deliver medium power, being perfectly suitable for simmering or keeping the food warm. The front burners, on the other hand, can be set to either provide a significant amount of heat or keeping a relatively low temperature of 180 ºF. The right tri-ring burner is very versatile, supporting three different cookware sizes: 6", 9" and 12".

Since this is a top of the line Electrolux appliance, it comes with the company’s Platinum Star warranty. It grants you an additional three-year warranty for parts and a five-year warranty for the cooktop.

A standout feature for the oven is its very accurate wireless temperature probe. You can wirelessly monitor the food temperature while it cooks.

With five different burners and a double oven design, this unit is perfect for multitasking. For example, while you use the lower oven for convection cooking, you can simultaneously broil burgers on the upper one. The cooktop has an oval-shaped central burner where you can cook with wide casseroles, or you can swap the grid with a griddle, and cook eggs and bacon. The smaller burners are perfect for simmering. The two large front burners can be used for rapid boiling or frying.

The cooktop’s front left burner consists of a center-tiered burner and a donut-shaped outer burner. This makes the range quite flexible with the temperatures it can reach, so you can gently simmer a sauce or cook a large steak on the same burner. Additionally, such burners heat up cookware more evenly than standard burners.

The lower 4.3 cu-ft oven is capable of convection cooking, which distributes heat evenly throughout the cavity to prevent overcooked or undercooked portions. This is especially useful when doing multi-rack baking. The upper 2.4 cu-ft. oven can't do convection baking, but, on the other hand, it does have a broil feature.

The range's control panel is situated on the front of the unit, so you don’t have to risk burning yourself while reaching over the cooktop, contrarily to what happens with some other ranges.
