Great Features and Well Worth the Price

We have used most of the different controls so far. Since it is better equipped than our previous microwave, it takes a little getting used to. The air fryer function has allowed us to eliminate one of our countertop appliances and is my husband’s favorite functions. I am looking forward to using the defrost function in the near future. Even though it was a little more expensive than I would’ve liked, I’m glad we decided to buy this model!
This microwave replaced our old GE Profile Advantium. The reheating of items is great. It took a bit getting used to as the features are different as well as in a different location on the panel than the ones that the previous microwave had. I do wish it had the additional features like reheating pizza slices, popcorn, etc. The size of the oven is a good size. Installation was simple and quick.
I would recommend this to a friend!

We are glad to see that you are enjoying your new microwave. This is a great choice for replacement and we're confident that it will help cook delicious meals for many years to come. We're going to pass your feedback about the additional features over to our product team to review.
Overall I'm happy with the product. The only thing I'm not 100% satisfied with is the Air Fryer function. In using this function I have noticed it takes much longer than a regular air fryer & doesn't crisp food as well.

We'd like to share some information on how to get the most out of the air fry mode of your unit. We recommend checking out our full guide located on page 21 in the user manual here: https://products-salsify.geappliances.com/image/upload/s--F3owBnOW--/f51573a7201700990cd0ef9d330a0deb0e451ba4.pdf. This section also includes settings for common recipes.
We had our GE Microwave Model PVM9179SR1SS yesterday and it was dead on arrival. I guess there isn't much to say but not happy that we have a higher end model that we spent a lot of money and it doesn't work. I don't know what to do. Stay with GE or go to a competitor?

We recommend making an appointment with one of our Bodewell technicians, please call 1-833-4BODEWELL or visit this site: https://www.bodewell.com/schedule-repair-service.
This replaces a GE microwave/convection oven that lasted close to 25 years in my home with daily use. I hope this new one lives up to the old! My only reason for not giving 5 stars was color. My kitchen suite was all in Bisque. I know, no one make Bisque anymore. My best second choice was the lightest stainless I could find and it's such an energy drain as a color. It still feels very dark. The white is too sterile. The Bisque is a warm welcoming color and I don't know why it's been discontinued.
I would recommend this to a friend!
