Old dog, new tricks

I am 75 and didn't know if I would like this microwave, but everything on it is easy to figure out! Some people don't like the dial, but I do, it is much easier than punching in numbers but I sometimes forget to push it to set the numbers. My old one was just heat or reheat, I'm still learning how to use it and I'll write later about the convection and air fry options when I get to use them more.
I wish we had purchased a simple microwave instead of one with air fryer option. The book that came with the microwave has minimal info about use of the air fryer option! The only fresh vegetable air fryer recipe is for wedge potatoes! The potatoes were done but didn’t even have brown edges. I have guessed in air frying fresh broccoli, cauliflower etc. Will be using my oven from now on. No instruction for reheating pizza etc. I guess it just trial and error. Will just use my breville toaster oven or my regular oven. My bad and wish I had just saved the cash for this replacement purchase. I also find the most common control options are at the top of the microwave and a bit labor intensive to learn the new routine. I do love the brighter surface light and more powerful exhaust venting.

We'd like to provide some information on your new microwave's owner's manual and cooking modes. In order to be good stewards of the environment, we no longer print physical copies of owner’s manuals. However, we maintain digital copies of all manuals on our website for your access at any time. Some benefits of this practice are that you’ll always know where to find the manual and that the digital version will include the most up-to-date information. You can find your owner’s manual for this model here: https://images.salsify.com/image/upload/s--F3owBnOW--/f51573a7201700990cd0ef9d330a0deb0e451ba4.pdf. The Air Fry feature uses a heating element to raise the temperature of the air inside the oven. You can find information and instructions on using the Air Fry feature to cook different foods on pg. 21 of the owner's manual. The Reheat feature reheats servings of previously cooked foods or a plate of leftovers. You can find information on the Reheat feature on pg. 17 of the owner's manual.
The door cannot close well. The door and door frame are not level. On the top,the door is a little higher than the door frame; at the bottom the door is a little lower than the the door frame.

I don't think this new GE microwave is as powerful as the previous. That may be intentional based on the current society. But it's easy to use and consistent. Love the stainless interior! Love the capacity!! Tried the air fry but it seems to leave the interior very hot. Haven't tied the convection oven yet. Would be very helpful if GE would spring for more detailed instructions and maybe a cookbook with a few basic recipes for each aspect of the oven. Controls are easy to use . Haven't figured out how to adjust the power. The button just tells me that it can't. Don't know if I would spend this much money for it again, having used it . The vent is quite powerful and the light is amazing
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Your feedback is extremely important to us. We will pass these comments regarding the Air Fry feature in this microwave along to our product team to review.
We have only had this microwave for a few months. Works great so far! The only thing I would change is the dial for time. I would prefer the keypad style.
