Sleek. Works as advertised.

Nice new modern look, slightly ahead of some of the profile product line so have to be careful about matching new design features if buying multiple appliances. Exterior oven flange (behind the door when closed) is much too narrow to cover any past attachment marks on the frontal side of cabinet. Should be flush with the contours of the door itself. Otherwise a very good buy so far after several uses.
My old GE Profile was great for many years and I really liked it....but the new one is Wonderful! It is so easy to use and I like the large clock on it. The racks slide so nicely, especially the bottom one. It also looks so sleek and stylish.
This is a great oven. Very user-friendly (unlike the micro/convection GE Profile oven.). I love the way it interfaces with my Apple Watch to remind me when it’s finished pre-heating and done cooking. So easy to use and and is efficient, easy to clean. Digital settings are actually fun to set. I cannot say enough praise for the design of this oven.
Started out using the oven off line and everything seemed to work well. I found out that you can not connect wifi to the oven without first opening a GE online (internet) account. I understand this account lets you operate the oven via the internet from anywhere to can get on line. I just wanted to use the Wifi from my house on my own network. This oven came with 2 trays which was nice but many other manufactures include a broiler pan as well. The Broiler Hi - Low feature is great as it allows you to tone it down the broiler when the food just becomes brown so you don't burn it. Read the manual about which self should be used when cooking or broiling which was very good for a starting point while you get to know how the oven cooks the best. Physical appearance of the oven is beautiful especially when you turn off the clock. When i installed the oven i had to change the circuit breaker from 30 amps to 20 amps which you may think is a good thing (more efficient oven that uses less electricity) but my old oven would get to 350 degrees much faster than this oven. It may seem petty but i don't like having to wait longer for the oven to preheat just so i can say i saved a few cents in electricity. Now because i am in the kitchen longer i wasted my electrical savings on the kitchen lights because i am in the kitchen longer waiting to bake. I don't like the idea that i have to expose my use of the oven to on the internet to GE in order to use the wifi feature. Upgraded the firmware then took the oven off Wifi. The light switch failed to respond when operated on the LCD touch pad. Put the oven back on Wifi and it responded when operated on touch pad (wifi firmware version: 0.0.1.61). Also the clock feature will not turn off the display when you simply use the "turn off clock display "switch". I was able to turn off the display by setting the clock on/off display times both to 1:00am. GE needs to go back through the firmware and work on getting the bugs out and they should allow the owner of the oven to decide how they want the Wifi to work (local or internet mode). In Local mode they should allow the IP address, SSID, and password to be programmed by the owner. In Internet mode i would say they are good to go as it was easy to get the oven on line using the display prompts. I would have given this oven 5 stars if the wifi could be set locally on your own network. Every other product i own works that way (Printer, Scanner, NAS) why not this oven? Over all a very well made product.
