The unit looks good in my kitchen. It is brand new and I have not yet had a chance to try the different modes. First use went well and the new oven odor wasn't as intense as my past experience. Glad I had it mounted lower in the cabinet than some of the webpage photos and suggestions. Reaching into the upper microwave for hot dishes and cleaning is easier and safer when the upper door is opened and sits just a little higher than typical counter height. This unit is a replacement for a different brand of oven that had similar features.
Microwave: control is terrible. Cannot input a specific number of seconds. It's a pain to use the dial and button to go through a long menu list. Should have a key pad like most other microwaves., where you hit number of seconds & start - that's it, because power 10 is default. Would not recommend. Lower oven: Also need to go through a long menu with the dial. Additional issue: there is a coating on the racks that makes them hard to slide and to take out. Should be stainless steel. We didn't look closely enough at all the functions, or we would not have bought this unit.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We value this feedback. Your comments regarding your new wall oven is extremely important and will be considered by our product design team for review.
It's a very good product. It is easy to operate. It does take a bit longer to heat up to actual cooking temperature, but does cook evenly. The microwave feature is outstanding. Cooking with the Avantium feature makes this an overall outstanding product
There is unevenness when baking and making toast. The rear browns much faster than the front of the oven.

We want to help out with the temperature calibration. We suggest checking on page 13 for instructions on how to adjust the thermometer. This can help with getting better results for your recipes. (https://products-salsify.geappliances.com/image/upload/s--qYJLQP_g--/y9qgmf4l8alooxh7y1sf.pdf?).
Fantastic oven/microwave. So glad we went to a reputable appliance dealer to make this purchase. Still learning its capabilities but it is really easy to use. Temperatures are accurate when baking.
