The microwave performs very well, except for the air frying. If one wants to use the manual air frying, the settings for time do not include the time needed to preheat to the appropriate temperature.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We're glad that you are enjoying this microwave. To use the manual Air fry, we recommend referring to page 21 of the manual at this link: https://products-salsify.geappliances.com/image/upload/s--WYTrCaf0--/txdsq1ebwcz0hsllcwoa.pdf?_ga=2.114489860.225557027.1711375753-1676878804.1700237661
This is an amazing replacement for my old over the cooktop microwave and a welcome addition to the kitchen update to all GE appliances ( Cooktop,Fridge, & Wall Oven ). The additional benefit of the convection and airfryer within the mircowave allows me to take back more counter space as I can now elimate the stand alone (Ninja Airfryer ) cooker and move it elsewhere or pass it on to family/friend.
It is somewhat similar tothe GE microwave/convection oven that we replaced. While similar we are still getting used to its features. We were disappointed to learn that the microwave only has a 750w output. Our GE countertop microwave is 1150. So it takes longer to cook on the microwave setting. While this unit has an air fryer capability, we have not tried it yet.
