[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a replacement for our 16 y.o. over-the-range microwave/convection oven. On the plus side, installation was much the same as the previous one--only requiring two new mounting holes in different places in the overhead cabinet. The only new feature is the air-fryer, which to us is rather superfluous. Because of the air-fryer rack, it only comes with one convection-oven rack (which is the same size/design as the previous oven). However, it still mounts for two racks so we are able to use the racks from the previous oven. The arrangement of controls is different so takes some getting used to. The add-30-sec button (used often) is quite small and needs to be pushed firmly. Opening and closing the door is noisier than the previous one. The clock does not have to be set before the oven will work (useful after rare power-outages), however the LED clock is very bright--it would be useful if there was a programming feature to allow it to be less bright. This over-the-range appliance also functions well in place of the previous range hood, although it has a louder and higher pitch sound than the previous one.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a replacement of a 12 year old GE Profile microwave. This one had more features, but is very similiar, and I am an jous to use it and try the new features.
Love love this microwave/convection/air fryer! Saves us in our RV from using all the propane while cooking. It makes our air fried food so crispy. A must have for your home or RV.
I wish I had a book or user guide on how to operate the features; I have no clue how to use any of it. Same situation with my GE stove and oven, no information on how features work. Very frustrating to say the least. For this I give you zero stars.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I really like the new oven. I would like to see a back-lit control panel and a number pad rather than a dial but over all I like it. Capacity is good. I like that it is also a convection oven. I used it for so,e pizza and it worked nicely.
