 This GE push button stove does not have a clock. I'm guessing it's a BOL model. What are your thoughts on performance?
I'm looking for an inexpensive, reliable, analog stove for a friend. It doesn't need a clock.

That's what I call an "apartment special", as that's where I've usually seen those basic models. The same frame as used on the fanciest models for many years, just without any features such as the clock, backsplash light, or oven window. | ||

Speaking of apartments, that is the exact stove I had in my first late 60s built apt. Same color and everything.
This along with a basic hg GE rangehood, and a basic 2 door, manual defrost hg refrig. No dw. dark wood laminate flat panel cabinets with awful hardware. IMO- it's over 50 years old and still going apparently. With a simple wipe down and perhaps some new burner drip pans it's probably good to go another 50. Stoves (electric) tend to last and last. Typically they have no moving parts and are only turned on occasionally compared to a refrigerator that is running (theoretically) all the time. | ||

Sarah, You can't get more BOL than this one. But there's nothing wrong with this one, either. It appears to need a cleaning, and that's all. Until just recently there was an avocado version of this for sale in Knoxville for $30. A good, basic electric stove.

Basic GE 30 inch range
Hi Sarah, this could be a good range for somebody who doesn’t mind cleaning the oven manually and doesn’t have any little kids around us. The front of the oven door gets pretty hot on these non-self cleaning oven’s due to the poor insulation
That said you could do a lot of cooking on this range it does everything it needs to do cooking wise. John. | ||

GE made that basic model for many years. I've seen them in White, Turquoise, Petal Pink, Canary Yellow, Woodtone Brown, Shaded Coppertone, Avocado, and Harvest Gold. I think they did a redesign before Almond arrived. There was also a basic P*7 model, which had a clock, of course, but otherwise the same. | ||

GE made a basic self cleaning range
That did not even have a clock or a timer for the self clean cycle, you merely turned it on to clean and tried to remember to turn it off a few hours later.
This is why I’ve told people for the past 40 years if the clock doesn’t work, you can still use the self clean cycle on your oven. Just remember to turn it off after a while. Do any of you guys have a picture of this basic 30 inch range without a timer or clock? John. | ||
