Café - 1.7 Cu. Ft. Convection Over-the-Range Microwave with Sensor Cooking - Stainless Steel

We recently moved into a brand new home and chose the Cafe line of Appliances. This 1.7 Cu. Ft Convention Microwave compliments the other Cafe appliances and is excellent. It has a unique control panel. You don't enter the time to cook via a control panel keypad. You tap cook time and turn the round knob, which adds 15 seconds per click of the know. Then you push the knob in once and press start. It's different than we've had in other microwaves, but once you get used to it, works quite well. It's very spacious inside and in addition to normal microwave functions, it's a convection oven as well. This will really come in handy during the holidays when oven space is at a premium and you need to cook casserole dishes. The interior is dark and won't show dirt as easily as lighter interior microwaves. You have all the preset options you need and you can dial in the the food you're planning to cook and the microwave determines the correct time and power automatically. Little things make a big difference too. The vent fan on most microwaves we've owned are obnoxiously loud. Not on this Cafe appliance. It vents really well and you can actually talk and be heard when it's on. The under-microwave lights are two levels and provide good light to the range burners below. All in all, this is a great compliment to the Cafe appliances in our kitchen. Note that this appliance must be in high demand and came a few weeks after the other appliances came. If you're buying Cafe appliances, you may have to wait a bit longer for the microwave, but to us, it was well worth the wait.

Great product, highly recommended. Reheats food perfect, installation was a breeze

This new GE café microwave sits above my range and is absolutely beautiful. Along with his luxe it’s function is great, because it includes a convection oven

Extremely satisfied with this multifunction microwave/convection oven. Installed to match out other Cafe Professional appliances, it delivers the same high end engineering, function, and performance, we have come to value in that line. More costly than other options but, in our opinion, well worth the investment. Highly recommended to anyone.

Love the combo microwave and convection oven. Unfortunately the controls make it quite confusing. The instruction guide that comes with the microwave gives a lot of conflicting information and makes it confusing as to what is safe and not safe to use in the oven. The timer feature is great, but the timer goes on and on and never stops until you hit the cancel button. The timer is also very difficult to start and stop. Cooking is not even when using the convection oven. One side of the meal is always fully cooked while the other side is undercooked. There is a combo cook option, but no clue how to use that or how that feature would work. There are no details on this feature in the instruction guide. There are no recipes included and no suggestions on how to use the oven. Would not buy this microwave again if I had the opportunity.

Aesthetically pleasing! Takes a little time getting use to a dial and not pushing numbers. I don’t use the convection function as much as I thought I would. Stainless does leave finger prints which is annoying.

Very nice looking and it functions well with my cafe slide in range. I haven’t used the oven part of this microwave yet, but the microwave works well, nice and quite.

Really good microwave with lots of added features. I am still learning what else I can do.
