Cooks well, awkward design
on October 8, 2017
Posted by: Wayne from CA
from California, United States
It used to be that microwave ovens had doors that opened from the side, and conventional ovens had doors that opened from the bottom. GE was wise enough to recognize the problem with doors that open from the bottom, and came out with their CAFE series main oven with French doors. Why they decided to join the bandwagon and take a step backwards with the combination oven is beyond me.
Since I redesigned my kitchen, I was able to place this lower than a traditional microwave oven, so that my wife could see into it. Despite that, and despite being a taller than average man, I ended up finding it awkward to clean since I need to reach in twice as far as with a conventional microwave oven, given that the door is in the way.
Despite that, it cooks well. The microwave part is less powerful than what I had been used to for a long time and with many microwave ovens, so some things take longer. Despite that, it cooks well and cooks evenly. It offers a large array of pre-programmed menu choices, both for microwave and combination cooking. Most of these menu items do a good job. With some, the times are off by quite a bit compared to where they should be, but the oven does a fine job when the time is adjusted. For example, it can heat a frozen pizza in about five minutes, and keep the crust crisp, unlike a microwave oven. Yet the recipe gives a time closer to 15 minutes.
For many people, despite the fancy functions, it will be used to reheat things using a "quick 30" type button to heat things based on time in a microwave. Another common use will be to reheat plates of food using sensor reheat modes. This oven does those tasks very well. It lacks a +/- feature for the sensor reheat functions, but tends to get things right.
Overall, it's a far superior product to others on the market, and what it loses with some shortcomings, it makes up for with added features. I wish that its designers had taken a clue from the CAFE design team that came up with the French door oven and recognized that a traditional oven door is a step backwards, and that's especially true for something that gets mounted high up.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love the look

Installed this above the French door Cafe wall oven. Looks great. Wish it opened the same way as the French door oven, it's a bit hard having to reach over the door to get inside the microwave, it's a good thing I am not any shorter than what I am. Features are a bit different than my above the range advantium oven was, still learning how to navigate the set up. Love the appearance and get many compliments.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love this oven!

This oven can do everything! I have cooked so many different things in it already!
I like using the speedcook feature. That way, I don't have to heat up my full oven every time I want to bake something. It's great!

Full width 30" microwave with MANY cooking options... to include browning.
Only concern for us... the halogen light went out in the first month.
Everything was covered under the warranty

Love the Cafe Line

I love the size of the oven space. The microwave features are easy to use. I am looking forward to trying out the convection and speed cook features. It is a close match to my 3 year old GE Cafe appliances.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Repair after 3 weeks
on December 5, 2017
Posted by: ALS19
Had this installed three weeks ago. Works as described. But not pleased that the display screen stopped working already. Concerned that if there is one repair at three weeks that the product will contribute to have problems.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This CAFE model replaces a 15 year old PROFILE Advantium over. Far superior in function & design.
