The oven has been very good and works great in all three modes: micro, convection, and both. Recently, the oven has done something unusual. The oven is currently locked in a mode where there is no timer on just the letter "E", but whenever the door is shut, the turntable starts turning and the light is on. However, the micro must not be operating since whatever is placed inside does not heat up, nor does the oven get hot. I cannot get the oven to stop doing this. I have checked the FAQs and read the manual. I cannot find where the letter "E" is an error code that means anything in the manual or FAQs. I turned off the circuit breaker for 30 seconds and still no help.
We chose the Cafe brand because it was one of the few options we had to chose from our builder. The microwave had been a disaster. It leaks water, steam comes out it the top vent, and it is beginning to damage our expensive cabinets!
Bought this oven a couple months ago and it does all we need and more. Really useful sensor cooking features, convection, and microwave options. Use for baking cookies or keeping food warm. Amazing little oven.
This was an upgrade on our new home build and was installed in the build. It works well and has no functional problems. Drawback is instead of a keypad it has a dial that only allows cook times in 15 second intervals. It works ok, but is a little bit of a hassle.
This is my 2nd GE microwave and I'm even happier with this one than the last one. GE has made so many improvements that make it so much easier to use, for example something so simple as the very light touch required for the various buttons. The housing seems to be a brushed stainless material that NEVER shows dust, Yeehaw, I'm in heaven with this machine!
If you don't have the room, don't want to spend the money on two ovens and or just don't have use for two ovens frequently then the convection microwave/oven is a perfect option. This microwave can be used for both and also keeps dishes warm as I put them in while I am waiting to serve. This microwave is also so easy to clean the inside and the finish won't peel or crack as regular microwaves as it is a metal finish with no coating!!!
