Looks really good. My family and I are still learning all the features. I'm sure we will all enjoy it as the days go by. We like that it's a mini convection oven and a microwave as well "what a fantastic idea !" I would recommend this to anybody if it fits their budget.
I am thrilled with my new GE Cafe stainless steel microwave. The convection oven options makes me excited to make dinner. Complete with a recipe book, this microwave exceeds my expectations.
Bought this a week ago and love that it can be an oven, toaster, and microwave all in one unit! Only complaint is getting used to the different settings for halogen and bake heat soyrces. Kids did not like that it does not have a button (like 1min) quick heat in microwave. You must step thru a series of menus which if it takes more than a millisecond is too long.
WOW, this is an amazingly powerful multi-function oven. I can use it as a microwave, a convection oven or I can combine the two functions for faster cooking. Love it!
I bought this microwave approximately 6 months ago. It has been working perfectly. It's highly efficient. I haven't taken the time to figure out everything that it can do but I am super happy with it's performance so far and it looks good too!
We were torn between the convection/Speedcook and decided to go top of the line on all the Cafe' series. We couldn't be happier. Between the microwave, gas stove, the oven and the warming drawer we can cook just about anything and do it all at one time. Thanksgiving and Christmas couldn't have been easier. We actually sold my mom on upgrading all her appliances as well. We had read reviews about the handle having some issues but the must have changed it because we have had No issues at all. The speed cook will really amaze how fast a little microwave can cook. This isn't your mothers microwave, this is the real deal.
So sad as it is a wonderful microwave but they built it with a white plastic handle with a silver coating that pealed off in less that 7 months. For this price...really? They said it was not metal, like you think it would be to match the other Cafe pieces, because it might get hot? Hum...get hot or peal...I would take the hot issue before making a cheap product. Now have changed to a new type of plastic coating. Woopee!! I would not buy this again.
