Amazing oven, so much more than just a microwave
By Lifespeed
This is an amazing oven. The combination of halogen lights, convection and microwave do a great job of quickly re-heating or cooking many different types of food items. Pizza, when re-heated in a microwave, is soggy and unappetizing. Using speedcook with aforementioned heat sources working simultaneously the crust is crisp while the toppings are perfectly done in only 3 minutes vs 10 for a conventional oven. Breaded Chicken and Fish do very well in this oven, turning out light and crisp in their own oils. One could think of many examples of food that cook better in this oven than an ordinary microwave.The vent function at 300CFM is adequate, and more effective than I might have guessed. Smoke and fumes from the front burners underneath flow to the rear exiting the exhaust filters. I noticed the vent also has some intakes on top behind the door front panel. Two of these on either side appear designed to cool the lamps and electronics, but the large intake in the center draws air in from above the door. At first I was confused about the purpose of drawing air from above the microwave. But after a couple months of use and no grease on the cabinets above I have come to the conclusion that this is actually a clever design to inhale any grease fumes that escape upward past the front of the oven door. This over-the-range unit does not extend like a hood to the front of the range, but the air intake above and behind the door does a good job at clearing the air as if it did! Of course, do a good job on the sheetmetal duct install to maintain maximum flow. I used 8" duct with a rectangular-to-round adapter and a high flow AirKing roof cap.The user interface is excellent. To just look at a picture of the touch panel it might appear that this is just another membrane keypad ALA microwaves of the 1980s. But no, it is a glass capacitive touch screen mechanism like a smartphone, sans the display function. I would expect this to have a nearly unlimited lifespan. There are many pre-programmed food types that are not only convenient to access, but serve as a reference to help one quickly learn what types of heating are appropriate for different foods. One can choose different levels of upper and lower radiant lamp heat, convection heat, and microwave heat to best suit the food being prepared.This review is for the 240V model, so you are likely to have to run another circuit. In my case that was not terribly difficult. I did not try the 120V version, but based on some reading it appears that the extra power is well worth it. I checked my digital (smart) electric meter with the oven on, and with it off, and it appears to draw close to the full 7.2kW (30 amps at 240V) of power, although only for a few minutes. It is a speedcook oven, after all.It's not cheap, but I really like it. The wife loves it too. But don't spend the money if you only want a microwave.Edit: after 11 months of use, the vent fan located in the top rear of the microwave failed - it started making a horrible noise. Removal of the microwave and fan showed it is a double squirrel-cage design, where the right side of the double cage had been rubbing it's plastic housing. Both the fans and their associated housing are some sort of plastic, probably fiber-reinforced.A call to GE revealed they would fix it, given that it was barely under the one year warranty. The technician arranged to have the replacement fan shipped to my house via Fedex. Although they called to confirm the appointment to come over and install it two days after it arrived, I declined as I had already installed the fan by then. The wife and kids don't like to be without this oven.After the new fan was installed, I realized it was likely the original fan had been rubbing the housing since Day One as the replacement was slightly more quiet. When I spoke with the GE technician he said every oven out there has one of these fans, or similar, in it and he replaces very few. Hopefully that bodes well for the long life of the replacement fan.Still, one star is deducted for poor quality control at the factory. I should not have had to replace it. I do believe it was a fluke, but time will tell.
