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.
Product seems to be functioning as stated. Do like the porcelain racks. Still working on cooking times using the convection feature. Prior oven really heated up the oven compartment during cleaning. With the new oven I added a circulation fan to help keep the oven compartment cooler. It seems to have helped significantly.
I am new to convection cooking and am enjoying the different ways to cook in this oven. The heating is accurate and pre-heat time is greatly reduced from my old oven.
