Not sure yet

Just got this new microwave a week ago, it looks good in the kitchen, it's the right size, it was a good price, and everything works. So why the low rating? The problem I have is that it doesn't have a keypad, so you can't set an exact cook time. You can only use the dial in :15 increments, so if a recipe says, let's say, 50 seconds, or 1 minute and 20 seconds, you either have to set for a higher time and then wait, watch and interrupt the cook time, or just ignore the instructions and hope for the best. The same dial is also used for the Start button so I'm wondering over time how it will last. If I had known when I purchased it that it had this "feature" I would have chosen a different machine. So my advice to any reader is to make sure you are able to test the controls yourself before you make a purchase and determine whether they will work for you.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Expected non-smudge Stainless Steel

Operating it is not intuitive. The first microwave I've ever had that I can't choose the power level. The user's manual is of little help.

Hello - Thank you so much for connecting and sharing your review. We are sorry about the controls not being intuitive. That is not the goal we are aiming for.
In order to change the power level, you will want to press the "Power Level" button and then turn the dial to the selection that is desired. It goes through 1-10.
Let us know if you have any other questions, we're always happy to help. - Jonathon@GEAppliances

Nice warm stainless color, but poor control panel
on December 12, 2023
Posted by: DAWandG
There are several nice features to this microwave. I like that it's a microwave/convection oven combo as was my last microwave. The oven cavity is small enough to preheat more quickly than my range oven, and since my kids are grown I find it's large enough for most of my oven needs. I like the microwave sensor features that my previous oven had, but the biggest difference that I don't like is the control panel and the method of entering cook time and power level. My previous microwave, and I believe most higher end microwaves, have a number panel on which to enter precise cook times and power levels. This microwave however has a turn dial, which only has increments of 15 seconds. It also took me a while to figure out how to enter a power level, which I was only able to do by going online for instructions. The hard copy manual that came with the product had nothing what so ever about selecting a power level. When pushing power level on the panel the screen would indicate that it was not possible to enter a power level. What?! It turns out one must select a time first, then push the dial ONCE, only THEN one can select a power level, then push the dial again. Such a convoluted process that is impossible to figure out without the aid of specific instructions, which again, are not included with the product. Also the panel is starting to bubble where the most used features are selected, like start, cancel, and cook time, and I've only used it for less than 2 months. My favorite feature apart from the inclusion of the convection oven, is the warm stainless color, as opposed to the bright silver stainless. It fits nicely in my kitchen. But overall, if I had to do it again, I would select a different product.

I had the same model in 2015. I loved it so much that I just purchased the updated model. I love the new air fryer feature . So far I love it just as much as I did my previous one.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Installation Issue
on December 17, 2023
Posted by: DouglasK
Although I am satisfied with the appliance, I do have several points against it. First of all, my original product didn’t even last 4 years however, since I had my cabinets modified specifically to fit it, I chose to replace it with the exact same model. The second issue is that for the installation, the complete mounting system is as changed. It required the existing wall mounting brackets to be removed and a different one be installed, the top mounting mounting screws were aligned differently which called for more holes to be drilled in the cabinet shelf and the mounting bolts themselves were changed (both thread and length) and the bolts provided were shorter than the previous bolts so the new ones would not even fit and I had to find ones that would. I spent my entire career working for a large aerospace and defense company and saw the same thing happen over and over with new engineers designing things with no common sense about logistics (I.e. installation issues created by changing things that don’t need to be changed). I like the product line and have other GE products but this change created a totally unnecessary issue.
I would recommend this to a friend!

An Awesome Addition to the Kitchen!
on December 29, 2023
Posted by: OTR ConvectMicro
from Franktown, CO
I have purchased 3 of the GE Profile PVM9179SRSS over-the-range(OTR) combination microwave and convection ovens. I own a number of leased properties, and these appliances are full of features, well built, easy to use, and include a very nice convection oven in addition to the microwave features. It's a marvelous combo to have in the kitchen! The convection oven allows one to use it just like a regular convection oven and this proves to be a worthwhile capability in the kitchen. It allows you to bake or roast with ease plus you have a feature filled microwave as well. During holiday time when oven space is at a premium, the convection oven permits you to have a 2nd oven, or a 3rd oven if you happen to have double ovens in your kitchen. Also, during times where you want to bake cookies or cakes, etc., and don't wish to use the larger oven, this OTR appliances makes it happen and with ease. The PVM9179SRSS has proven to be well built as well, looks great in the kitchen and it's easy to clean too. In addition, it is loaded with all kinds of useful features. For this reason, I am replacing any standard OTR microwave ovens with this awesome GE Profile PVM9179SRSS in my leased properties. I only choose top quality appliances for my leased homes because durability, features and reliability are paramount to my residents as well as to me. This appliance is a true winner and I highly recommend it to anyone. It may cost a bit more, but the convection oven and ruggedness for daily use makes it very cost effective for the long haul. Thank you GE! Please keep making this type of over-the-range combination convection oven with a microwave oven. It's a fantastic design.
I would recommend this to a friend!
