Great microwave. Confusing instructions

No idea the exact features between the fast bake, the convection, the combination fast cook, and the air fry. Need to write up a much more detailed explanation or link to a YouTube video.
I like all the features like Air Fry, convection bake and roast. those features are impressive along with just microwaving. Still learning all the features and plan to play with my new toy verses lugging my giant air fryer around my counter and to see if it cooks better than my regular oven. So far it takes a bit longer to cook items versus my portable air fryer. Also it seems to take longer to preheat that maybe because its a 950 watt machine I think. However you can bake/roast without preheating if your item doesn't require it. I like it just because its me and my wife and our meals are small portions most of the time. Plus I got a good deal from my appliance store (scratch and dent). Can't wait to test out all the functions, so far my wife only uses the Add 30 sec button cause its a learning curve with so many options to chose from.
I was excited to get a new microwave with a convection & air fryer option. Not a fan of the dial. What should take seconds to get it started takes minutes. You have to set Power level every time otherwise it stays at 1. Air fryer temp not adjustable and I’m not convinced it is set at 425. Takes way too long to air fry.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello - Thank you for taking a moment to leave your review. We truly appreciate it. This definitely helps us know what we are doing right and wrong.
We're sorry to hear that his model hasn't exceeded your expectations. We are going to take your feedback and send it over to our product team for review. This is extremely crucial to our design process. Thank you again.
The microwave works well as expected. However I do have a few negative comments. The exhaust fan on it does not seem to be very strong. On my previous GE microwave, you could definitely see the steam suck up into the exhaust filter when you turned it on. On this microwave, the steam continues to go up and just appears to float around; it’s hard to see that it’s really working. The fan is noisy. The other thing I’m not crazy about is the dial for selecting numbers of seconds and minutes. I really like the old numbered keypads. I am glad that it still has a 30 second option button which we pushed twice to get our one minute express option. The interior is all stainless and easy to clean. The convection oven heats quickly. I only used airfry once, and it worked OK. Sensor cooking works well.
less than a purchase, it is already broken and the parts do not have it, that is a bad product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good afternoon.

We understand you are currently working on this closer with an agent. We recommend to keep in contact with this agent so that we can provide any further services you would need. We look forward to hearing from you. -Haley@GEA
So far the only thing I don't like is the fact you have to turn a dial to choose the amount of time and the it has to be in increments of 15 seconds. So you can't choose numbers like 26, 47 etc. I doubt I'll be using it in place of my countertop air fryer. The air fry option in the microwave takes longer. I do like the fact that it is quieter than my previous one.
