Good quality but options are a little overwhelming

The quality of this microwave/convection oven is great. I am still trying to figure out how to operate some of the features and understand the difference between some of the modes. It does take a while to preheat if you have to use that option. The microwave function is straight forward and easy to figure out. I like it so far but the price is a tad high for this unit.
Looks great in my kitchen! The oven light lights the interior to see what is baking. The slide out oven rack is great to put heavy pans in and out of the oven. Having no heating element in the bottom of the oven makes wiping out the bottom of the oven easier. I have baked cookies, chicken and a roast and all have done well. I like the display, and ability to change wall paper and the weather on the display.
Builder chose the Cafe line of appliances, before we purchased our band new home. After 2.5 years, the inside temper glass just shattered. Was in the process of broiling some Brussels sprouts. Turned on the broiling setting on high. The rack setting was in the middle. I broil, flake steak, Brussel sprouts, green-beans, and fresh chillies. The broil setting is one I favor. We have no small children. I am baffled as to why the temper inside glass would fail?

Positive: Oven looks great and professional. Me and the teenagers really like the screen and functions. Adding a second light was really a good idea. Racks are sturdy and the bottom one slide really easily, this is a great feature for heavy pots. I only used bake and roast with and without convection and both works great. Negative: Oven was larger then my old one which is fine and only add to remove shims but the main issue was the deepness. If you have the electrical box under the oven, note that there is a lip and the wire is not calculated in the dimension and sits between that lip and the wall. The result is that I add to break the sheetrock wall in order to pass the wire to have the front panel against the cabinet... Manufacturer should take note of this and allow a pass through option or recessed for the wire to go down. Other negative is the warming up time is long. I would buy it again though.
I would recommend this to a friend!
