1.0 out of 5 stars Don't Burn Your Hand, July 17, 2009

By	chgosfs - See all my reviews

While I have found no problems with the microwave portion of this oven, the convection portion is an entirely different matter safety wise. The outside of the cabinet gets HOT. I mean REALLY HOT. I called GE and the CSR tried to assure me that the oven was operating within "reasonable" safety limits. When I pressured her to elaborate on GE's definition of what "reasonable" is, she stated that the outsides of the oven could reach temperatures ranging between 150 and 212 degrees! Thats the boiling point of water!

5.0 out of 5 stars Performs as advertised, July 22, 2009

By	Thomas A. Nelligan, Jr. "anthony" (Savannah, GA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Better and much faster cooking than any conventional oven I've used.
Combination cooking (microwave and convection together) works great for reducing cooking time by half and browns meat wonderfully. No problems whatsoever.

1.0 out of 5 stars Look Elsewhere for quality, July 7, 2009

By	Buffalo Alice - See all my reviews

We bought this oven six months ago to install in our new home and have been using it for three months now. Part of the reason we chose this model was styling and part was the availability of a rebate. GE has yet to make good on the rebate (although our retailer says the GE rep insists they eventually will come through).
More importantly, the unit performs poorly. It rattles when on full power. It simply cannot soften a refrigerated stick of butter and instead creates a small but explosive pool of yellow liquid surrounded by rock hard butter (even on the lowest power). In addition, though we have used the oven only lightly and the convection feature only a handful of times, the so-called stainless steel interior is already stained and darkening.
I did a great deal of research on convection microwaves but was sucked in at the last minute by the rebate offer (aka "scam"). If I were granted a do-over, I would do what I should have done in the first place and gone with Panasonic, Amana, or Sharp.
Now I hear GE is selling off its home appliance business. No wonder. Buyer beware.
