I love the key pad and ease of operation. Easily understandable and programmable. Quick selections (like "Popcorn") are excellent. It is great for warming, cooking, reheating, and defrosting. Great machine!
We tried to cook fries in this when our kitchen was being remodeled and we were waiting on the ovens. It took an hour? Two? The convection cooking works in a pinch, but I'd never use it unless we were in a major bind! Microwave functions great though.
I just purchased the cafe microwave/convection,It is a shame how a huge company like GE prints out a quick guide but very very uninformative,on how it functions.I had to go online and read customers reviews and input.
We bought a new house and the entire Cafe series of appliances to replace the old GE appliances. So far we've only installed the refrigerator and the microwave, because only one of them works correctly, and it's not the microwave. Like the refrigerator, the microwave looks great and was very easy to install, but once we turned it on we found THE DIAL (essential for setting the temp., selecting cooking options, etc.) DOESN'T WORK. Every other button works, except the dial. When we turn it nothing happens and nothing happens when we press it in. It doesn't work at all and now we have to wait a week for a repair person to service it. Disappointing to say the least.
Purchased this model so we could mount it within a cabinet enclosure but is smaller than what I wanted. The biggest drawback is that you can only increment time in 15 second intervals. We had to warm up baby food for 9 seconds and would have to stop and cancel it without walking away.
