Controls could be much better

The oven works well. Temperature seems accurate and things bake evenly. But...
Normal preheating is okay, but kind of slow. I do like that it shows the temperature as it's rising.
I was anxious to try the "No Preheat Air Fry", but the oven was clearly not hot enough until it preheated for a while. But since it's "no preheat", when you turn it on to airfry, it doesn't tell you the current temperature in the oven. So you just have to wait awhile before putting the food in, or put the food in for longer than the package indicates.
Waking up the control panel requires touching where an actual button is, which of course you can’t see. So it sometimes takes multiple touches to get it to wake up. Then, if you’ve touched in on the left, whatever control you’ve BLINDLY touched is ACTIVATED. How stupid is that?
The timer controls are awkward. There's a "cancel" button and an "off" button. When I want to turn off the timer, I find that I hit "off" instead of "cancel" . This turns off the oven. NOT WHAT I MEANT TO DO. Hopefully I'll get used to it. Also, the timer chimes when there's one minute left. I find that annoying because I think the timer is done, but I have to wait another minute. The timer is not very loud either. It's okay if I'm close by, but I don't think I could hear it from another room. And that's at it's loudest setting.
What really annoys me is that the oven timer sends a message to my phone. That might be okay if it was accurate, but wifi being what it is, it might be a minute or more after the real timer goes off. I'd really like to be able to disable this "feature"!
I tried using the probe for roasting meat. One, it was not even close to accurate. Two, the cable is way too short. If the probe is in meat and you try to pull the oven rack out, the probe cable won't let it slide out. So you have to unplug it before you can even pull out the oven rack.
Finally, having to print the manual myself is just annoying and cheap.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Terrible convection feature
on September 9, 2019
Posted by: ld322
The fan and motor during convention mode is extremely loud; when it is in convection mode it sounds like it is an old oven functioning with a broken part. This happened during the first use of the oven and has since.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Cool look, full of features, connected.

This is a very nice oven with a lot of cool features, functions and looks. As long as you have just a little patience.
Out of the box, it came well packaged, and took a little bit to completely unpack it. Installation was pretty typical, and fit perfectly as a 30” should. 240v 4-wire metallic flex conduit is standard fare here. I forgot how heavy this would be, luckily I have a friend next door for assistance.
I was somewhat giddy when it lit up and I connected it to WiFi with my iPhone. You download a simple app to control oven functions remotely, if you wish to do so. WiFi connection was pretty simple. To my surprise, before I could set the clock, it had already self-set because of the WiFi. Nice. The front control panel is pretty cool. Other than the clock and Wi-Fi indicator showing in a blue LED, the whole face of the panel is black. Touch it and the whole control panel lights up and looks just like a normal touch pad on your microwave or something. Almost like the writing and lines were physically on the panel. Then when you are done it all disappears. Cleaning the front of this will be a breeze.
The app is very simple in design, and I have read complaints about how basic it is, but it seems to be fine for what I'd need. Select your cook mode (bake/convection/broil, etc.), scroll to the temp you want and fire it up. On the same screen is an option to set a delayed start time. Pretty self-explanatory. It's great if you want to save time and have it preheating while you're on the way home from work, or out in the back yard busy and have to go inside soon to cook.
One unique feature of this oven is the ‘Scan To Cook' feature. On the app there is a barcode scanner you can use to scan, for example, your Totino's Pizza Rolls. The oven now already knows the cooking instructions and sets itself accordingly. You don't even have to read the box. GE has a library of something like 3000 foods set up, and growing. It is also voice compatible with Alexa, Google and Nest, to name a couple.
The inside of the oven, with the bottom rack low, can squeeze 14” high in there, and the opening is 24” wide. A decent, black porcelain oven interior with good lighting is there. Convection fan can be seen centered in the back. Racks are really nice and move well. There is an included temperature probe with the oven. It will probably get used twice a year in my house.
I've only cooked a couple things so far, but it cooks perfectly for me. I honestly think some people expect miracles from a convection oven. Unless you cook an item directly on the rack (not), no single food is ever going to be cooked identically on the top and bottom. Your pan/tray/dish will transmit heat differently than the uncovered face/top of the item. But, cooking something on the top rack vs. the bottom rack won't see any considerable difference because of the fan.
I've seen 2 particular complaints in reviews. One has to do with the convection blower sounding like a jet engine to a couple people. What?? My oven is nothing like the sort. At worst, it sounds like the microwave exhaust fan on low. Second is the preheat time. I can agree with this a LITTLE bit. Some say it is taking 20 minutes to preheat to somewhere around 400F we'll say. GE says 15-20 minutes is normal. My other convection oven, and I had timed it, would hit 400F in about 13 minutes. So, 15 isn't so bad, but 20 might get on your nerves a little.
So, I really like the oven so far. It's sharp, cooks great, and has some gadgetry for the more adventurous and tech savvy people. Maybe a little pricier than some, but take advantage of one of the many sales that go around.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very low alarm chimes
on October 15, 2019
Posted by: Shawn123
from Queen Creek, AZ
The wall oven is nice to look at and functional however, the chimes to alert for preheat and timer completion are so low that you can’t hear them. There are three volume levels but there’s no difference between them. You can stand at the sink but if the water is running you wouldn’t hear the chime. Pretty sad for such a high end product. Good thing we have a timer on the microwave.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
