We bought this appliance just before Christmas, and it is an amazing addition to the kitchen in our little bungalow. It microwaves, convects, broils and quick cooks. Who could ask for anything more in one appliance?
I bought this as a companion to the GE Cafe range, and the product is advertised as an over-the-stove convection oven. After 6 months, the handle began to peel. Rather than being made of steel, the handle is a plastic tube covered with a peel-offsilver paper. The plastic tube is white, and it is truly an eyesore once that silver paper crinkles and begins to peel. Apparently, it is not resistant to steam, and so while the dealer who sold the unit to us did replace the handle, we were told that it will likely happen again. The solution - do not use the power boil feature on the oven directly below. So now we can either throw caution to the wind and use the power boil, or not use one of the primary features we liked to avoid the peeling problem. Really GE? An oven handle that is not resistant to steam?
