Just Purchased, Not Happy with Controls

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Do not buy if you like to have control over cooking, especially with the main feature of microwaving. Can only set time in 15 second intervals. Just figured out how to change the power level: press cook time, set time with dial, “dial” blinks, click dial, press power level, set power with dial, “dial” blinks - but this time you don’t need to press it, you can hit start. Too many clicks GE! New designs are not always better. Other settings don’t even show you a time countdown, so you have no idea how long something will cook. I’m still trying to learn how to use it, but will likely look to purchase a simple, user friendly microwave in the near future.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We will be passing your comments about the controls and dial over to our product team to review. Thank you again for sharing this with us.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm still very much in the learning mode and its very difficult to transition from the air fryer separate from the microwave oven cooking combo. I can't figure out how to program it for air frying. I get confused looking at the control panel...I've not given up yet, but I need a step by step explanation of how to reheat/cook/brown different dishes...

We'd be happy to provide some instructions for programming the air fry mode. You can initiate the mode by pressing the "Air Fry" button. You will then want to move the dial until you see "Manual" show up on the control screen. Next you will press the dial in, this will allow you to then move the dial to select the desired temperature, press the dial in again for your selection. Lastly, you can move the dial to program the desired time, press the dial in again to initiate. You can find more information on page 21 inside the user manual here: https://products-salsify.geappliances.com/image/upload/s--F3owBnOW--/f51573a7201700990cd0ef9d330a0deb0e451ba4.pdf
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am surprised at the bad reviews. I have never owned an air fryer so can’t compare . We did a think ribeye steak. Perfect. Chicken perfect! Love this !
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love this appliance and use it daily. The new design is modern and looks great in out kitchen. We had many years of our other GE Model and am so happy with this new one. The combo micro convection is perfect for anyone with necessary choices in their cooking needs.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works well to replace a previous unit but defrost mode is poor. Previous unit allowed you to select food type & weight resulting in excellent defrost results. This unit only allows weight which results in partially cooked portions.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The door switch often does not engage to start a microwave cycle. The Air Fryer takes much longer to cook an item than a regular Air Fryer. The turntable is jerky and noisy. The product is poor for the high price of the microwave with Air Fryer and Convection Baking

We'd like to help you with your microwave. We recommend calling our warranty team at 833-426-3393.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The microwave is a replacement for a 16yr old GE profile. Same size. The new unit fits the space perfectly and is working wonderfully. The controls are in different locations than the previous appliance. Just taking a little time to get used to it.
