I wasn't impressed with the Convection Oven. It did't cook well at all. I don't think the trim package fit very well. I cannot open the cabinets above it because of the trim package. As far as just a microwave, it works efficiently, but very expensive for just that.
I've only been using this for a short time. It is the first time I've ever used a sensor-cook on a microwave... and it works perfectly every time! Soup, popcorn, reheating my cup of coffee, slice of pizza. It takes the guess work out of reheating. I've never used a convection oven, but I will update my review after I've tried out those more advanced features.
If you are thinking about buying this Café Series oven, stop thinking and just purchase it! This is a high quality, attractive item and it cooks like a dream.
This unit is wonderful!!! We had it installed over the built in wall oven and it is a pretty pair! I use it all the time. Love the convection for pizza, fries, rolls, on & on. Still getting used to all the features.
I purchased this ge cafe microwave for style and function it's a combo microwave and convection oven,I was surprised that after a year the unit required repair, the convection heating unit wouldn't shut off unless the unit was unplugged
Purchased microwave as part of an appliance package. The microwave works well, but the upper trim frame is too wide. We are unable to open/access our cabinet above this appliance. Checking with customer service to verify trim frame was installed correctly...
This combo came as our upgrade package in our new home. The microwaves functions as any other. The trim kit is cheap looking. Let's take more steel and wrap it around a box. Not a true built-in appliance. Look very cheap. The real problem is with the oven features. Because it isn't insulated like a standard oven (as explained by the GE repair man), the cabinets over heat. I can even touch the over head doors without gloves! A tech came out twice to verify the kit and trim where installed correctly. Yep! That is just the way it is! Horrible! I'm having this unit removed! Beside the damage to the cabinets over the years, it is NOT safe with kids too as the front of the oven is extremely hot to the touch (not warm like normal ovens)!
