Because the elements are hidden, it takes an hour to preheat. Also, the timer buzzer is as quiet as a mouse. Not even sure why they bothered having a buzzer at all. The connected app is kind of confusing.
Otherwise, it looks really nice. And the convection seems to work ok.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello there, we're sorry your preheat is taking longer than expected and that your volume is low. We know these are two annoyances so we appreciate you reaching out.
In regards to the volume, you can find instructions on how to adjust the level on page 9 of your owner's manual here: https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-2000254-1.pdf
We love these ovens and the ability to have Alexa preheat any of the ovens and the convenience of having it work wirelessly with the notifications.
We did not buy this oven, it came in the house we just had built. One issue is that the vent will vent all the heat out of the bottom below the lower oven. So when you are cooking you get the nice smell of food, but also all the heat from the oven as well.
