Do not buy unless you want to be cooking with fire literally. Come to find out there is an issue with the motor combusting into flames.

Door hinge broke and door is stuck closed.

It gets hot even just making popcorn. Also, it does not allow you to add your own minutes, it came fixed at 1 minute minimum. It's cumbersome to use, the menu.

Our washer died and since we got such a good deal on the replacement from Best Buy as well as 18 months no interest, we decided to relace our aging microwave and wanted to also free up storage space in the kitchen by eliminating the bulky air fryer we got as a hand-me-down. This model takes up the same amount of space as our old microwave, is way quieter, and performs perfectly. There are some quirks to operation that you will only discover by reading the manual and using it as instructed, so I would strongly recommend not tossing the book in the trash. The air fryer function is very easy to use and I appreciate the “HOT!” warning the screen gives me when turning something being air fried. Make sure you are only using the high-rise platform when it is necessary. Most stuff you can air fry using the shorter one. I saw other reviews for this model when I was comparing and almost all of them that complained about it burning were putting their food up too high and too close to the heating element.

It is great BUT the display went out the first time I used it. I tried to exchange it and got ran around by everyone I talked with. I have to push on the display to get anything to come up. Other than that customer service sucks the big one, it truly is a great thing. I run it in my camper off of a converter and 12 volt system. No stink like some air fryers. Convection and micro work awsome

Sure! Here's a review of the GE 1.0 Cu. Ft. Convection Countertop Microwave with Air Fry in Black Stainless Steel:
I recently purchased the GE 1.0 Cu. Ft. Convection Countertop Microwave with Air Fry in Black Stainless Steel, and I must say, it has exceeded my expectations. This microwave not only functions as a regular microwave but also offers the added convenience of convection cooking and air frying.
The black stainless steel design gives it a sleek and modern look that complements my kitchen perfectly. It's a compact size, making it ideal for countertop use without taking up too much space.
The convection feature is a game-changer. It allows me to bake, roast, and brown foods quickly and efficiently. I no longer need to use my oven for small to medium-sized dishes, saving me time and energy. The results are consistently delicious, with evenly cooked and crispy food.
The air fry function is another standout feature. It ensures that my favorite fried foods are crispy and golden on the outside while remaining moist and flavorful on the inside. It offers a healthier alternative to traditional deep frying, using little to no oil.
The control panel is user-friendly, with intuitive buttons and a clear digital display. It offers various cooking presets, including options for popcorn, potatoes, vegetables, and more. The microwave also comes with a sensor cooking feature, which automatically adjusts the cooking time and power level based on the food's moisture content.
One minor drawback is that the microwave can be a bit noisy when in use, especially during the convection cooking mode. However, this is a small inconvenience considering the overall performance and versatility of the appliance.
In conclusion, the GE 1.0 Cu. Ft. Convection Countertop Microwave with Air Fry in Black Stainless Steel is a fantastic addition to any kitchen. It combines the functionality of a microwave, convection oven, and air fryer, providing endless cooking possibilities. Its sleek design, efficient cooking performance, and healthy cooking options make it a worthwhile investment. I highly recommend it.

I had to replace my old microwave (it was 37 years old) and looked on online and found this on the Best Buy site. The product is very easy to use and the price was amazing. My elderly father with Dementia was able to figure out the features and use it right away too. Great value, with a lot of great features. Was really excited that it works as a microwave, convection oven and air fryer.

The panel is dark and difficult to see in low lighting. I have to turn on a light to push the right button.The microwave oven works great. It’s easy to clean with a stainless steel interior. The price was affordable and it has several functions. It can has convection abilities, microwave, and air fry. I tried to air fry fries. Not so tasty result. I’ll try again with yam fries.

Not Bad but Not Great Either

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I wanted to try a combo device to replace my old microwave & air fryer. Went with this GE because it was a brand I recognized & was on sale for a decent price. It was 0.1 cubic feet larger & had an extra 150 watts of power than what I am used to.
The instructions are very sparse so took some trial & error to figure out but it was not hard. As a microwave, this works just like you would expect. Food heats up quickly & the tray rotates.
Sometimes it does act weird in that no matter what button I press, it beeps & says "food". The only way to get rid of this and get it to work is to open & close the door.
As an air fryer, it is OK but I am still confused by the convection oven setting. They both look like they do the same thing: heating element on top & fan in the back. The fan keeps blowing even after use which I am not really is necessary. The convection oven setting does not seem to work right as it keeps beeping and .... stopping? Not sure what it is doing so I just use the air fryer option instead since it looks like it does the same thing without any weird stuff going on.
All of the weight is on the side with the buttons which makes it uneven to move/lift (the left side swings around very easily while the right requires a lot more effort).
Overall I like it, do wish the buttons lit up but otherwise I would recommend this. There is another version with a different model number but same description & price so not sure what the difference is or which is better.

So far, so good. Microwave functions as expected. Air fryer is a plus. Also very quiet. Had to download the manual. Not as helpful as I had hoped. Agree with others that keypad is hard to read in low light. Still haven't made much use of the convection or broiler functions.

Fantastic convection microwave. Easy to use (if you download the whole manual). It is also extremely quiet for a microwave. I was skeptical that a microwave could successfully do so many things, but this has far exceeded my expectations. The air fryer cooks fantastically and provides a nice even browning and crunch on foods.

A great buy! This microwave does everything and does it well. Air cooker built in as well. It's fast, well built, and I love it! Yes, the numbers are a bit hard to see with the naked eye. But it was an easy fix. I put in on my counter that is illuminated from under the top cabinets. Voila! Problem solved! A great price( I bought in on Christmas Day). My present to myself. Luckily, my friend had bought it on Black Friday the month before. I got to see it working in all its glory. I highly recommend it! You can't go wrong. It looks great too. Looks aren't everything, but this baby looks expensive. What I paid was highway robbery! I told all my friends about it. You better hurry. Word of mouth works great on a bargain like this. If you don't catch the sale, it's still selling regularly at a very good price! Five stars from me. I wish I could buy two, and put one away for the future. Sorry for fussing but there's lots of people like me living on one check a month. It teaches you to appreciate something that works great and a great price.

This microwave is great. The heating is even. I tried the airfry option, and it was just as if i had used my actual airfryer. It took me a while to get used to the door lock feature. But, overall a great appliance.

When we decided to get a new microwave, I was thrilled to find this one with an air fryer. So far, it's been fun to experiment. As someone else mentioned, the display is too dark and there's no way to brighten it. Other than that, it's been easy to use.
Thank you for sharing your experience with your microwave! We're thrilled to hear you're enjoying experimenting with the air fryer feature and finding it easy to use. We appreciate your feedback about the display brightness and will pass it along to our team for consideration.

This is the same size as my original microwave but has the convection oven and air fry options all in one so I am not cluttering up counter space with a number of different machine. I've only had it for 2 weeks so am still playing around with all the settings but so far it has done an outstanding job.

Controls are not lighted or backlighted...difficult to see. Otherwise the oven works well and is very quiet.
We're glad to hear the microwave is working well. Your comment regarding the control panel without backlighting is important to us. We will be sure to share this information with our Product Design Team.

Four stars because the manual was not very helpful about the various functions of this very versatile microwave. So far I have used the microwave and convection features. I haven't used the broiler and air fryer because I already own an air fryer and haven't need to try the broiler yet. My oven is not working so this multi-function appliance is very useful while I wait for the delivery and installation of the oven I ordered. It's very powerful for a small microwave and I have had to reduce the time to cook compared to my much larger prior microwave, a Kitchenaid. The small size meant it could fit anywhere. The downsize is that GE doesn't make a trim kit to cover up the empty space for a built-in microwave in my cabinets.
