Great features
This is a great machine. Our last GE wall oven was great and lasted 15 years with zero problems.

    What’s up with the clock feature?
    The whole point of having a clock on the unit is to have the ability to see what time it is. The sleep after 30 seconds feature is the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen. People don’t want to have to cross their entire kitchen to open the microwave door or touch the panel in order to make the clock light up just to see what time it is! The clock should be used exactly for that, A CLOCK. What an amazing concept of being able to look up and see what time it is. Maybe GE can come up with something like…oh, manually add water to the automatic ice maker in their refrigerator freezers so that it saves energy. Thanks GE for having a clock feature that sleeps.

    Hey there - thanks for sharing your candid review. We apologize for any frustration caused by the clock feature on your built-in microwave convection oven. Unfortunately, due to Department of Energy requirements, an override option is not available. We understand your concern and will share your insight with our engineering team as we continually seek ways to enhance our products. If there is anything we can help with moving forward, or if you have additional feedback to share, please don’t hesitate to reach out anytime. Take care. Lauren@GEAppliances
      You won’t be disappointed. Money well spent!
      So happy with this unit. Love that we can microwave and convection. Heats evenly. Our last GE Profile microwave combo lasted 11 years. For the amount that we as a large family use it, well it’s paid for itself over and over again. The only thing I wish is that it had a minute button timer along with 30 minute timer. It’s not a game changer by any means. Would buy it again and again. I’m a “lifer”!

        Looks great
        Installation was very easy and looks very nice. I am still trying to figure out all the features.

          Problem on delivery
          Replaced the previous model which had failed because of its electronics. Same features which we find very useful. Hopefully the electronics is more robust. Unit was delivered with a problem with the door, which did not open to a level position.

            So far so good
            I've been using it for 2 weeks and it is great. Easy to use and the microwave function is a great upgrade, compared to my old appliance.

              Easy to use with multiple features.
              Easy install, large cooking area, multiple settings, act as a second oven, and looks professional.

                Nice product
                Nice appliance with good features as all GE appliances the only issue i have is that the backing rack is round so its a little small according the size inside the oven.

                  DUMB DESIGN
                  The features are great but the door is ridiculous!! It opens down instead of the side so it makes it EXTREMELY difficult to use as convection baking. You need gloves up to your upper arms so you don't get burned taking the dish out. Would not recommend!! The door doesn't even stay down completely so you need one hand to keep the door down and hope you don't get burned while taking your dish out. How dumb were they to have such a design! The microwave works fine since the door doesn't get hot.

                  Hello - Thank you so much for reaching out and sharing your review. We're so sorry to see that this microwave hasn't exceeded your expectations. That is not the goal we are aiming for. With this in mind, we are going to share your experience with our product team. That way we can start looking for improvements we can make going forward. Again, we are sorry for letting you down and we appreciate your comments. Let us know if you have any questions, we're always happy to help. - Jonathon@GEAppliances
                    Disappointed!
                    It's really difficult to use as a convection oven. It opens like an oven which is extremely inconvenient. What a dumb idea!! The door doesn't lie flat so you need to keep it down while trying to take the dish out and try not to get burned. I don't understand why it couldn't open to the side like a regular microwave. This was the only model we could choose from the builder if we wanted a convection/microwave oven and it was a mistake!! If you want a convection/microwave oven look for another model that opens to the side. We were very disappointed with this. All our other appliances are GE Profiles and we love those. Stay away from this one!!

                      Great Features and It Fits in the Right Space
                      Our old GE microwave that came with the house went on the fritz. We called the Appliance Store in Colonial Heights to see about a replacement. We are delighted with our new GE microwave. Easy to use, looks pretty much like the high-end one we formerly had, and is a terrific addition to the kitchen.

                            Very disappointed that the electronics were not updated as in the wall oven. The microwave electronic panel is outdated!! It looks like it is 7 years old! Sad!

                              I had to replace my old GE profile Microwave after 13 years with this and I love it. Very sleek and love the features which took no time at all to learn.

                                    Garbage unless express heating
                                    This microwave is either extremely complex or doesn’t work correctly. Can’t get defrost to work, and other features just don’t want to work. I’m not caveman but dang this overpriced microwave can only heat on express at 30 seconds at a time.

                                      silly clock setting
                                      So far it's fine. But it's silly to factory-set the clock to not display when the microwave is not in use, and not allow that to be changed. How much energy can that really save?

                                          Love the enhancements!
                                          I love the new GE Profile built in microwave/convection oven. This replaces our previous model which lasted 19 years! We have all GE Profile appliances, so I know the quality is good. This model fits in the same space, but is now 1.7 cu ft instead of 1.0. This allows for larger items and now has a turntable. It is also very attractive with a larger dark glass section in the door and is the full 30 inches wide without the trim pieces. I'm not happy that the clock goes off after several seconds, as that was my kitchen clock, but I understand the regulation. Couldn't be happier.

                                            Great basic oven
                                            I replaced my Monogram Advantium speed cook oven with this Profile, which is just a step down. So I was already familiar with all the features. While this oven has some nice features, I mostly use the basic microwave features and occasionally the convection bake. It works great and is very nice looking. If you want a simple oven without lots of gimmicks, this is the oven for you. GE has been my go to brand for kitchen appliances for 35 years and I have never been disappointed.

                                                  Overall we like the unit. The design is good and easy to use. However, we occasionally hear a rattling or a buzzing noise when we turn it on. Can't quite figure out why that's happening. It's disconcerting. Since it doesn't happen consistently, can't schedule a service call.
