GE Profile Convection/Microwave
This is my first GE product, and my second convection/microwave oven. I searched online for the highest rated convection/microwave and the GE Profile came up everytime.
These are the reasons why I like this product:
1) The preprogrammed microwave times are perfect. I can tell GE spent time testing this product before placing it on the market.
2) Microwave POWER LEVEL 1 is perfect for softening butter to spreadable consistancy. No more pools of melted butter wasted!
3) REHEAT has a sensor that turns the power off when the right amount of steam is generated inside the oven. No more chewy dough when reheating rolls and pastries!
4) PREHEAT in convection and combination mode is quick! My previous convection oven took forever to preheat.
These are the things I would change about this product:
1) The baking rack is not a slide in rack so when placed on the microwave plate it rotates. I suggest when baking with a pan larger than the baking rack ie...

Don't Burn Your Hand
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!
Look Elsewhere for quality
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...
