We love our new convection oven, microwave it cooks our food so much faster and better my family loves me more for it. Thank you so much for designing a fantastic appliance and making my life great again.
This is my 3rd micro/convection. I love it! There was no question on what brand/product I was purchasing to replace the one that broke down. When baking for the holidays the convection is a work horse for 5 days straight. That's all I use when baking.
A multifunctional microwave for any over the stove

This is a replacement for our previous GE Convection Microwave that after many years of service started having sporadic issues with the convection function (the microwave still functioned). Having gotten such good service from our original GE Profile I was pleased to find an updated version of our GE Microwave. The replacement was an easy install with only some minor changes for the top mounting screws.
Although I am satisfied with the appliance, I do have several points against it. First of all, my original product didn’t even last 4 years however, since I had my cabinets modified specifically to fit it, I chose to replace it with the exact same model. The second issue is that for the installation, the complete mounting system is as changed. It required the existing wall mounting brackets to be removed and a different one be installed, the top mounting mounting screws were aligned differently which called for more holes to be drilled in the cabinet shelf and the mounting bolts themselves were changed (both thread and length) and the bolts provided were shorter than the previous bolts so the new ones would not even fit and I had to find ones that would. I spent my entire career working for a large aerospace and defense company and saw the same thing happen over and over with new engineers designing things with no common sense about logistics (I.e. installation issues created by changing things that don’t need to be changed). I like the product line and have other GE products but this change created a totally unnecessary issue.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi,
Thanks so much for taking the time to post this review. We appreciate the feedback regarding your microwave and your views on the installation. Your comments are extremely important and will be considered by our product design team. Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist with.
I had the same model in 2015. I loved it so much that I just purchased the updated model. I love the new air fryer feature . So far I love it just as much as I did my previous one.
There are several nice features to this microwave. I like that it's a microwave/convection oven combo as was my last microwave. The oven cavity is small enough to preheat more quickly than my range oven, and since my kids are grown I find it's large enough for most of my oven needs. I like the microwave sensor features that my previous oven had, but the biggest difference that I don't like is the control panel and the method of entering cook time and power level. My previous microwave, and I believe most higher end microwaves, have a number panel on which to enter precise cook times and power levels. This microwave however has a turn dial, which only has increments of 15 seconds. It also took me a while to figure out how to enter a power level, which I was only able to do by going online for instructions. The hard copy manual that came with the product had nothing what so ever about selecting a power level. When pushing power level on the panel the screen would indicate that it was not possible to enter a power level. What?! It turns out one must select a time first, then push the dial ONCE, only THEN one can select a power level, then push the dial again. Such a convoluted process that is impossible to figure out without the aid of specific instructions, which again, are not included with the product. Also the panel is starting to bubble where the most used features are selected, like start, cancel, and cook time, and I've only used it for less than 2 months. My favorite feature apart from the inclusion of the convection oven, is the warm stainless color, as opposed to the bright silver stainless. It fits nicely in my kitchen. But overall, if I had to do it again, I would select a different product.

Greetings! Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your valuable feedback. We are so sorry to hear that this microwave has not lived up to your expectations due to the power settings and control panel. It is in no way the consumer experience that we strive for, and we will be sure to pass these comments along to our product design teams for review. We also recommend scheduling service with one of our certified technicians to address the bubbling you are experiencing on your control panel.

We appreciate you choosing GE Appliances for your home. Please let us know if we can be of any further assistance. - Adrian@GEAppliances
The microwave works great. Its a little tricky to get used to after having one with quick one button 1- 5 minute auto start. The cook time button could stand to be a bit larger and easier to locate. It does a great job cooking evenly.
