Replacment Oven/Microwave
on March 28, 2020

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am satisfied with the replacment which was done efficiently by Lakes Appliance in Medford, NJ. Everything is working well so far and with the Coronavirus crisis we are frequently using the oven and microwave with no problems.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had this oven/microwave combo for four months and couldn't love it more. It's very we LL made and substantial. The convection function is great for roasting a chicken or vegetables quickly and perfectly. As a baker, I appreciate the proof function and the options for softening or melting on the microwave. Oven temperature is accurate and consistent. The only improvement I would suggest is to make the clock brighter. The timer alarm is on the quiet side so I set my phone timer if I'm doing something in another room.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] To honest we made a mistake when purchasing this model, we didnt realise it doesn't have a delayed bake option. A major issue since lower end oven from other manufacturers offer that as standard. Also doesn't have a meat probe but I know that is only offered on slightly more expensive models. Display on the upper microwave oven goes so dim after a few minutes as to be virtually useless. Fairly quiet, looks good.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The oven works perfectly, and everything comes out perfect. The microwave is dissapointing and I will keep it brief and succinct: the LED goes on standby and no one can read the time unless they are close to the unit. The completion of the microwave operation finishes in a single inaudible "Ping!" The kitchen timer also declares completiong with an inaduible "Ping!" We have read the manuals on settings, everything is set at its loudest and are seeing the same complaint from other users. Very dissapointed in the microwave features and should have done my homework before purchasing.
My bad, I didnt read the description well enough. Be aware: The oven does not have a probe to monitor interior temperatue of meat while cooking. Oven does not have delayed start/stop capability, this is a major omission in my opinion and would have been a deal breaker had I known beforehand. Oven doesn't come with a baking pan...has to be purchased seperately. On the other hand the microwave is well apponted and works well. Would not purchase again because of issues noted above.
