5.0 out of 5 stars Love it, June 8, 2008

By 

aiyu (texas) - See all my reviews

WE've had this oven/microwave for 4 months now and absolutely love it. We got it so that we could have a second oven without doing a major renovation. So far it's worked well as a microwave and great as an oven. I'll assess them seperatly.
--AS a microwave, it's a little slower cooking than others we have had, but heats evenly, has a turntable, and rack. We really love the dial control...kind of like an ipod, simple and efficient.

--As an 2nd oven it is perfect for us and we actually use it frequently as the primary oven because 1) It heats up faster and cooks faster 2) It is more energy efficient with a smaller space to heat adn 3) it vents outside so it doesn't heat up the house in the summer at all.

As for the price, it is expensive, but was a much cheaper way to get a second oven for us and we are very happy with it.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's easy to change the light bulb yourself!, September 2, 2010

After reading the mixed reviews for this oven, the only unfavorable ones complained that if the oven light needed to be replaced, the unit had to be taken down from the wall. Well we purchased one anyway because to save $175 or more, I would have no problem taking it down myself to change the light bulb; it's not that hard.
We installed it, and wouldn't you know it, ...it stopped working after one successful test. We phoned the GE appliance department, also easy to do on-line, and they were here the next morning.
The repairman opened the oven by removing the grill from across the top. Two half-inch screws hold it in place from the top edge. He was then able to open the front control panel so he could adjust a misaligned door switch. He did not have to take the oven down from the cabinet.

Here is the revelation: the halogen light-bulb, in question, is located behind the grill right beneath the opening where the charcoal filter would be mounted, if you used one. Anyone with a Philips screwdriver can take these two screws out and save himself or herself a $175 service call.
The repairman suggested that we leave the screws out to make it easier next time. The grill fits snuggly without the screws.
When our new kitchen is finished, we will give it a hard test, like cooking with the microwave and the convection oven combined. For now, we are giving it five stars because it appears that this is an excellent product and the repair service is terrific.
This review will be revised if any of this proves to be untrue later in time.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great when it works, buy extended warranty, February 28, 2010

This review is from: GE Profile Spacemaker Series : JVM1790SK 1.7 cu. ft. Over-the-Range Microwave Oven - Stainless Stee

The features on the microwave are great. However, after 2.5 years the Magnetron (which actually warms the food became damaged). Spent about $250 on labor to repair it (part comes w/ 5 yr warranty). However, 2yrs later the magnetron blew out again. Spent $100 for tech guy to come out, and it would be another ~ $250, at which point it didn't make sense and figured I'd just buy a new one. Also, my cleaning person broke the turntable and it's $110 to replace!!! However, the features on this microwave are great, and now that I'm shopping for a new one, I'm hoping to find one w/ similar options, like the night lite, reminder beep when food is done, add 30 secs option during cook time. The popcorn preset button gives me perfect popcorn everytime! If you get a GE, do yourself a favor and get the extended warranty.
