Love GE Profile Series
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.All the appliances that were installed in my kitchen 25 years ago were GE Profile Series. The Profile-Convection-Over-the Range Microwave recently stopped working and I replaced to with a newer Profile model. I am 81 years old and I know this new Micro-Convection Oven will still be here when I am gone.

Missing the quick start feature.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I replaced my like for like to this upgrade, as my old one gave out after 10years. I knocked one star off because the upgraded version requires you to turn a knob for the cooking time rather than pushing one button to start.

Quite happy so far
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The only negative is that it was a challenge to get a manual and now that I finally have it, there is no explanation of the differences between convection bake, convention roast and air fry. It seems as if there are multiple buttons that actually do the same thing. However, the product itself is good, it's been installed for about a week so far and does the job well.

Posted .Greetings,
Thanks so much for reviewing your microwave. We're quite happy to hear that you do love your unit and what it can do. Our apologies on any confusion about the cooking modes. We'll provide some explanations on the differences. Convection bake: Ideal for evenly browned baked foods, and great for large quantities of baked goods. Achieve good results with cookies, biscuits, muffins, cream puffs, bread, angel food cake, and so on. Convection Roast: Recommended for larger, tender cuts of meat or poultry. Heated air seals in juices quickly for a moist and tender product.
Heat comes from the broil (top) element on some models, and on newer models from the broil (top) and bake (bottom) element. Air Fry: A special Direct Air Convection mode that is designed to produce foods with a crispier exterior than traditional oven cooking. Common foods you might use with Air Fry are chicken wings or nuggets, potato products, vegetables, appetizers, jalapeno poppers, cheese sticks, pizza bites, etcetera.
The Air Fry mode uses hot, fast-moving air directed from above to surround the food you are cooking. We hope this helps. Let us know if you have any questions. Mike@GEA

We're enjoying our new GE Profile microwave.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Our new GE Profile over-the-range microwave is very flexible with lots of cooking options. We just used the convection roasting feature to roast lamb chops. They came out very well. I love all the features and can't wait to try many of them. It's working very well and was a solid choice.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The installation was great. The machine works fine as far as I know. Which is a problem. Finding an operator's manual was difficult and I still don't have a good reference as to what this thing can do.

Replacement appliance
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The product was purchased to replace a 10 year old system. I do not use it often but I like the fact it takes up a little less space and offers the convection oven option.

BEST microwave
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.LOVE this microwave. It cooks so evenly-never any hotspots. It’s so convenient to “spin the dial” to add or subtract cooking time, and the versatility of it is amazing! I use it as a microwave, of course, but it is also an extra oven for baking or for air frying. Both of those additional settings have been so helpful on several occasions. If I were to remodel or move, I would purchase this exact same microwave for my new kitchen. It is great!

Loving this product
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I didn't know there were microwaves with convection ovens built in until I came across this one. I am extremely pleased with this product. It looks good in my kitchen and functions just as well. Just remember to read the instructions first.
I would recommend this to a friend Lacks dimensions to make a buying decision
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far it has been a decent purchase. Unfortunately the company who I wrote prior to ordering is not real responsive or understanding of the issue I posted. I asked what was the total space required to install the unit and to insure that the door didn’t hit my pantry. So I asked specifically how much the door added when fully opened. Their response - it’s designed to fit in a 30” space. WRONG! It takes 31” to fully open the door if you have a wall on the left side.

Best Combo Over The Range Microwave

Great features and price! Unsure about longevity
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bought this to replace a similar microwave that was 8 years old. So far, so good, it adds new features we didn’t have in our old microwave- Air fryer for example. Optimistic that it will be awesome, but I have bought an LG and a GE microwave in The last 6 months, and 6 in the last 20 years:
