Good Machine

We bought this microwave as a replacement. Overall it is a good microwave. The convection cooking capability lets you brown those microwaveable foods, cook steaks (yes they come out nice), and do the mundane microwave chores like pop popcorn. The controls are rather simple...a little too simple. GE went too far in simplification and sacrificed convenience and flexibility. You select a button, use the dial to select your food and time and then have to push the dial several times until you push enough to start the microwave or get it to the point to start. You only get 15 second blocks of time. You have to change plates between convection cooking and microwave cooking which is annoying. The cooking aspect is excellent. The controls need serious rework to make it a good product for the home. GE offers no online support for this product. You can't even find it on the GE website.
