Love my new GE profile microwave! The microwave doubles as a conventional oven! You can heat two plates at once It is sleek, easy to use and… the best part; This microwave self cleans.
Easy instillation but a little harder to use. Love the upgrade, just need to learn the microwave and all its features. Air fryer isn’t as nice as our original stand alone air fryer by Ninja.
The combo microwave/convection oven has nearly all the features of the one that finally failed. There are so many great features, but it is missing the keep warm and reheat options. Thankfully, the new microwave came with the filter already installed. The old one would have lasted longer had we been told that we needed the filter to vent inside.
My beloved 20-year-old Advantium finally died, and I would have bought another, but I wanted a white appliance, so thought this would be a decent replacement. I really wanted another small oven that's also a microwave, and I'm still adjusting to this one. I do wish the display light wasn't so bright....it lights up my whole kitchen at night! And, I find it hard to press the "buttons" on the display. I often have to press several times to get the correct spot and pressure. The first pie I baked in it was a failure, and I don't know why. It just didn't cook right. I have baked muffins that turned out fine; I just had to rotate them for even baking. I like using the metal shelf for casseroles, since it does not turn and I can use an oblong dish. I miss the Advantium speed-cook feature, but find that a high-temp roast or bake does pretty well. I downloaded and printed the instruction manual, but it is somewhat lacking. There's no explanation of what the difference is between roasting and baking. I also miss being able to create my custom pre-set time & temp.
I've been using this microwave for almost 3 month. I like it a LOT. I've used each of the functions of course the microwave, the air fryer and yesterday I used the convection oven. It works extremely well I love all of the features on it. I would definitely buy it again and would recommend it to others.
I had a GE Microwave that broke, so I bought this one and love it. Cooks much faster than my old one and is also quieter. Love the face that I can use it to bake as well and air fry.
Bought this to replace its parent / combination microwave (1st generation @ 1500 watts that I had since 2008) and it does not work as well. All functions take twice as long to heat / cook, no electrical power saving (watts is watts). Back to using my gas oven to cook. If the parts to keep my original unit were available, I definitely would have been better off to repair it than buy this. What ever happen to products improving over development, rather than make them 1 year throw aways. Space saving is the only feature valuable.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on your recent microwave purchase. We’re sorry to hear that you are not happy with the performance. We know what an inconvenience it can be to get used to a new machine.
This model has lots of features and it does function a bit differently than some previous models. If you are using the sensor microwave modes, it may take longer than you are accustomed to due to variations in the time and power levels based on sensor feedback. Here is a link to the Use&Care manual for your model – page 11 has a guide for selecting the best cooking method for your food and pages 12-24 detail the use of the different cooking methods. https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-7000158-2_LoRes.pdf&_ga=2.37204064.179021623.1678108079-1531057345.1572290282
