Great except for 1 flaw

Oven works great except for the notification sound - it is almost inaudible, even when set to the highest loudness level. So a second timer is necessary if you want to hear when time is up. Also - temperature probe is too close to the top of the oven so it is easy to burn yourself when plugging it in (even with mitts).
Like the setup of the oven. Heats to temperature well and maintains even cooking. One downside to this particular model, the volume for the sound is exceedingly low even when on high. To hear it, you must be in the same room (kitchen) and any normal noise can easily drown out the alarm.
Works great except the timer volume is extremely quite. I have it on continuous high and you can barely hear it even when standing next to the oven with no other noise in the house. This is a major design flaw. I called GE and was told there is no fix, this is just the way it is.
Ok GE exec's AND product developers... what were you folks thinking not providing buyers with both installation and use manuals with new GE ovens so buyers could install and use your highly touted ovens with all it's bells and whistles?...Hello...I shouldn't have to go online and print out a complete user manual and installation guide...for the price of this oven YOU should provide me with that info period...now to the product ner' do well folks ...I'd like to know if any of you cook in a kitchen with dishwashers working, kids running around, tv's blasting etc. etc. what in heavens name made you develop an oven timer whose signal at it's loudest setting can't be heard even when you are right next to the oven ...I thought the folks that complained about the timer signal sounds were perhaps slightly hearing impaired... well they are not...I can hear a bird tweeting even in the noisiest setting but I can't hear GE's oven timer if I perhaps run water from the tap, have the stove's exhaust on, or heaven forbid I'm using a food blender, mixer, radio, telephone, ...etc. Where did you folks think this oven was going to be used ..in a graveyard? So figure out this product defect and give other new owners a break so they don't have to go out and buy a separate timer on top of their oven cost like I had too.
The main draw to this oven was the sleek design with no buttons. On top of that, the touch screen buttons hide away and only show the time during idle time, making the oven even less busy. The only reason i am removing a star is that the capacitive touch buttons sometimes get triggered by the steam/hot air that comes out of the oven when you are cooking and open the door. The oven has remote software updates so maybe this will get fixed in the future.
Product is high quality. It has many features to make cooking easier. We purchased before Christmas and were glad we did. We were the family host for dinner for 10.
