I like this microwave, works similarly to my last one that I also liked a lot... different manufacturer. Fairly easy to use without reading the directions, have had no problems with it other than I notice that when I steam veggies some of the steam comes out part of the top of the door and my (very expensive) new cabinets get wet, I am unsure if this is normal. Also, the time setting for cooking only goes in 15 second increments.
I recently updated my kitchen with GE Cafe series and I am so pleased. I had the combination microwave convection oven installed and added the trim kit, it's beautiful. Still learning how to use it.
My Sister got one several months ago and she loves it. I have cooked on hers several times, liked the features (similar controls to mine, size, ) and except for not having a GRAB HANDLE, liked the convection oven vs my old browning element (which I NEVER used). My old GE died after 8 years of HARD use. SO this was a NO BRAINER. It matches my Convection OVEN and Inductive Cooktop so everyone is pleased. LOVE the stainless Interior.
I like the large capacity inside for larger dishes and plates. I also like the LCD scrolling readout that displays instructions for you if you press the wrong button. I am not so happy with way it wants you to enter or choose. Sometimes you press the knob to enter and other times you turn the knob to enter (confusing).
I purchased this microwave last fall just before Thanksgiving. I must say it is much more powerful than our old Amana Radarange from 1995! For one thing, I didn't realize that older microwaves lose their "zap" as they age. I noticed my cooking times are reduced now, due to the newness of the microwave. I love the reheat button feature. No longer have to guess what times to reheat leftovers! Either one or two pushes of the reheat button adds reheat time. Food comes out hot and evenly cooked. Love this microwave! Have yet to use the convection feature but that will come later. As a microwave it works just fine!
We bought a new house and it was installed in my kitchen it's only 2 years old and it's already broken!!....I had my other ovens for over 10 years and never complain about it!...I would never buy GE again!
