Good hardware, could be smarter.
Overall, we enjoy using our GE Cafe Speed Oven. It does what we needed, as a microwave and secondary oven in our space constrained kitchen. It looks great in our new cabinet. While we haven't really utilized all of the features, it can be a little confusing on what mode to use. There can be multiple ways to cook, and it can be hard to find a preset or if you should just use convection. Onion rings turned out great, while we haven't figured out fries yet. Peanut butter cookies turned out a little darker (not burned) vs our regular oven at the same settings. Some settings are oddly specific, while I wish it had a few more general options (reheating meat or bread). And while it is smart, it could be smarter. I don't mind notifications when I'm home, but don't need them when I'm away. The app doesn't plug into any ecosystem, and while I don't need control, it could trigger automations (flashing lights, etc) if it were tied in to Apple/Google/etc. Hopefully software updates can make cooking decisions easier, and possibly give power users more automation options.

Love this oven because it's so versatile with features of a microwave and oven and I bake while I'm baking in my other Cafe oven

Great build & quality but screen UI & trim lacking
Love the hefty GE quality with good steel and no cheap mismatched aluminum. Quiet and efficient even with convection. Great door seal. Screen and options feel like an after thought and for this price point not having chintzy photos of food or being able to set clean regularly used pre-sets rather than a huge clunky menu seems absurd. Also, having additional trim kits for bottom or top not just the one standard seems reasonable or handle color options instead of Café faux copper. Still, super happy with function and can settle for form.

Sleek look, great convection oven
We needed to replace our old oven and this sleek stainless steel Cafe Oven was an option (when little else was available during the pandemic.) It's nice that it can function as both a microwave and a convention oven, but getting used to the turntable function and "layers" for the convection will take some getting used to. Also, its not really BIG enough for our Thanksgiving turkey, which we didn't realize. But we had to fit the oven in the bricked-in space we had, so we are going to figure something out.

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE
Was installed by appliance store installer on Thursday and by Saturday evening, completely died. Tech came on Tuesday and said it would have to be replaced. It has been 3 weeks and still NO wall oven. We had a working wall oven but decided to upgrade.....We should have stayed with the lower end model that WORKED.

Awesome unit!
I only have 1 reason at this point for not giving 5 stars and that's the turn table. It would have been nice to have designed the turntable to center itself easier, when switching from the glass to the metal turntable and back it's always a little pain getting the the thing to spin right.

Nice features
Overall happy with this product so far. I can't wait to use it for when we host Thanksgiving and other events. My only wish is that you didn't have to constantly change out the different trays for the different features.

Customer review from cafeappliances.comAug 29, 2023
Lots of features, but difficult to navigate.
My rating is a 2 right now, but may go up to a 3 as time goes by if I can figure out how to cook in it. It is very nice to have all in one so my countertops are not cluttered with a toaster or microwave. My husband and I have mostly used it for microwave usage and toasting. I don’t love that the toasting takes so long and it doesn’t have settings for light and dark…you just have to wait and watch until it’s done. But, toasting sandwiches works very, very well and we eat a lot of sandwiches! The microwave works well. I have tried a couple of dishes using the speed cooking, but I do find it difficult to navigate. I even tried one of the apps recipes, but it didn’t make sense and didn’t cook the food. I ended up using the regular oven. I’ve read through the manual, but it’s still hard to understand the U, L, M settings.

Good morning,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review on your Café smart 5-in-1 oven with Advantium technology. We're sorry to hear that you are not completely satisfied with your appliance, and having some trouble navigating and perfecting the power level and cooking controls. We're happy to provide some guidance!
Follow these general guidelines when selecting the best U=, L=, and M= settings for your favorite recipe:
U- Select a higher setting for thin foods requiring a golden brown top (example: fish fillets, toast, boneless chicken breasts). Select a lower setting for thicker foods and foods with high sugar or fat content (example: muffins, roasts, casseroles), anything that requires a longer cook time.
L = Select a higher setting for thick or dense foods that may not cook quickly in the center (ex: steaks, casseroles). Select a lower setting for thin foods(example: cookies).
M = Select a higher setting to shorten cooking time for dense or heavy foods (example: casseroles, whole chicken). Select a lower setting for delicate foods (ex: breaks or foods requiring longer cook times and tender results for foods such as pot roasts and stew.
If you should have additional questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out for assistance. We're happy to help!

Cafe Microwave and oven
Love this appliance! My favorite in the kitchen. Looks great, performs great and is extremely user friendly.

Customer review from cafeappliances.comJun 12, 2023
Easy to use with good interface
The user interface has much built in so choices are very easy to make and get you up and using the oven quickly. The capacity of the oven is very large and it is very quiet when running. My one disappointment so far is in the timer feature - not the cook timer but the general timer. You can only set hours an minutes, not seconds; and, you cannot add time to a running timer. For an appliance of this cost is seems a little ridiculous not to put in seconds (what if you want to set a 90 second timer) or add time to a running timer. In the latter you have to cancel the timer and start over.

Why was such a nice product discontinued?
The Cafe looks great with my other platinum glass appliances. The appliance is easy to use and software is functional. Wifi was easy to connect. This unit replaced my old 27" Advantium Oven. With regard to your "guarantied fit", this fit the rough opening BUT the overall face dimensions were 3/4" higher than the old one. This caused major modification of the under counter cabinet for installation. Recommend stating face dimension as well. Unit was discontinued and I had trouble finding one to match my other appliances. Bought one of the last existing ones.

Very flexible unit, be careful with visitors
It is nice having so many cooking modes in one unit. Be advised that you can't set up the microwave to run remotely more than five minutes in advance. If you have visitors (e.g. in-laws) who may be using this device, be sure to brief them on the need to swap out glass and metal trays, depending on the function used. We had a guest use the oven on microwave cycle with the metal pan that comes with the unit and suffered some minor damage to the interior finish from arcing. Similarly, if you use the glass pan meant for microwaving , while using a conventional heating mode, you may end up shattering the glass tray.. I question how long the plastic covering on the touch screen is going to hold up, and it is a bit odd that the Cafe refrigerator well use its smaller screen to provide a slide show, but this feature is not available on this oven with its larger screen. Also, I wish it had a real kitchen time that could be set for seconds, not just minutes. Finally, we've had multiple updates sent to the unit by wifi, which puts the unit off line for about thirty minutes -- though you can tell it to wait. This clearly has a computer built in and GE seems to still be experimenting with the firmware.

Hello,
We’re glad to hear you’ve been enjoying your new oven and all the fantastic features that it has to offer. It’s great that you’re cautious about using the correct cookware when using the different cooking modes, and letting guests know ahead of time is a great way to help prevent accidents.

We are constantly working to improve our products; our smart appliances, such as this one, have the added benefit of being able to receive updates at any time to help improve operation or add features. We truly appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review and please feel free to reach out with anything you may need. Best regards. -MichaelB@Café

Beautiful and flexible but not a great convection
It’s a beautiful appliance. The microwave is fine and the interface package is terrific. But the convection oven process is no it consistent with other ovens.

Versatile and Fast
The Advantium Smart Oven is a huge step above a traditional microwave. The microwave is fast and offers multiple setting tailored to what you are cooking or warming. The Sense feature is great. The convection oven is a great back-up instead of heating the larger wall oven. Crispy Reheat feature is slick for food that need to be reheated but not soggy.

So far so good
Happy with this but have only been using it for 14 days. Hope the reliability is good. We just needed an under-counter microwave to fit into a spot where another microwave had been, and this was the closest one. We did not need the other features, but I'm sure we will use them at some point.
