The controls were a bit different and took some getting use to. I like them....my kids a bit less. I have rental houses and buy GE when possible. The repair tech has always been good to me and I think it is an American company or at least more than some others. I like the buzzer on the timer....other reviewers felt it was too quiet. The racks are able to be left in on the clean cycle...a plus. The oven that this one replaced was very loud when the fan was running and ran for 30 + minutes....this one is quiet.
The oven works very well but the microwave requires too many selections in order to get it started. Specifically, I should be able to set the defaults and change them when required. Instead, I always have to select the power level, and increase the cooking time by 15 second intervals. And, I can only increase by these intervals. For example, I can't heat something only 20 seconds - it's either 15 seconds or 30 seconds.
I really miss my Kitchenaid microwave.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We'll be glad to share your comments about the microwave requiring too many selections to start and 15 second intervals with our engineering staff as we strive to continually improve our products.

I love GE appliances. They are quality appliances that are user friendly and stand the test of time. I will buy nothing but GE when it comes to appliances.
Never had a microwave/oven, it's so cool! I warmed up a slice of pizza and it was evenly heated, perfect. The oven also cooks evenly and is easy to use.
