Hello,
Thanks so much for taking the time to post this review. The light inside this wall oven comes on when the door is opened. There is no oven light button. We apologize for any inconvenience. Your feedback is extremely important and will be considered by our product design team. We sincerely hope that the use of your new unit will only get better with time.
Best wishes, from your friends at GE Appliances. - Tierra@GEAppliances
Although this isn't a true convection oven it bakes like one. No elements are visible which was funny at first but now I really like not having elements clean. It cooks and bakes beautifully. I love it.
This is the second wall oven we have owned with a hidden bottom heating element. It simply is a bad idea. The oven takes a long time, (15 minutes) to preheat. If you put food inside during preheating, the top will burn, as the top element being inside the oven heats much faster than the bottom, hidden element. This design also means that the oven must run a fan continuously to move heat into the oven from below, and prevent setting fire to surrounding cabinets. Fortunately, this GE oven is much quieter than our previous one, a whirlpool. This GE also heats more evenly, though still not as well as an oven with both top and bottom elements inside. The claim that it is easier to clean also does not seem to hold up. We never had any problems cleaning our previous oven. One simply ran a clean cycle, and after cool down, lifted the bottom element and sponged off the bottom of the oven. Unfortunately, nearly all wall ovens now seem to have a hidden lower element, or we would not have purchased this one. The oven is easy to use, and did not require reviewing the manual to operate the controls. One important thing missing is the ability to turn on the light without opening the door! GE wall ovens are highly rated for reliability, and we hope that turns out to be the case. We are still using a GE wall oven at another location, which is now 24 years old. Finally, all wall ovens are absurdly expensive, and this one is no exception. Why should wall ovens cost double the price of a complete range, and also a cooktop cost double the price of the complete range, making these two separate appliances cost four times as much??!!
Love the performance of this oven. Baking, which is primarily what we use it for, is very even and efficient. Warmup and baking times are about what one would expect. Also like the feature where it exhausts the heat from the oven after baking rather than having to leave the door open. The control functions are user friendly and easy to read even if I don’t have my reading glasses on. Finally, it was a perfect fit to go in the location of our old GE oven. Our old oven, which was about 25 yrs old, was a built-in oven and the GE exact replacement feature was a great selling point. Installation was quick and inexpensive
