General Electric JVM1790SK Stainless Steel

Pros: Beautiful Stainless steel exterior, Multi-functioning as either microwave or convection oven, Easy to clean

Cons: Price

The Bottom Line: Outside of it's top-end price, I have no serious complaints. Ultimate in kitchen convenience and flexibility, easy to clean and attractive stainless exterior.

Review: When our faithful Tappan double oven finally gave out on us last fall, we ended up selecting the GE JVM1790 Convection Microwave along with the G E Profile JB968 Electric Kitchen Range for a maximum in ...

Pros: Functions,appearance, style

Cons: faint timer signal, manually putting in and removing the convection oven shelves

Review: I purchased this oven several weeks for an install over my range. I wanted it for the convenience of a second oven. I am most pleased with it so far. It cooks, browns and crisps quite well. Muffins, onion rings and baked potatoes have turned out really ...

Pros: Good design that is both easy to use and visually appealing

Cons: Cannot use the metal racks during microwave only cooking.

The Bottom Line: Good functionality for the money. The convection mode is very handy as a 2nd mini oven.

Review: The GE JVM1790SK was purchased at Home Depot, and I installed it in about 3 hours plus 1 hour to run a dedicated 15 amp circuit from the house electrical panel. The microwave functionality is easy to use. In particular reheating food and beverages are ...

Pros: Dial style time entry is nice and easy.
Looks great.
Firm feel to the door.

Cons: 15 second increments on the microwave.
Microwave use is noisy.
Carbon filter not supplied with machine.

The Bottom Line: I would buy this product again knowing what I know now.
I like the look and it is easy to use.

Review: Our biscuit colored microwave broke and so we decided to join the stainless steel revolution. We first tried a KitchenAid product but the rear of the microwave was 3 inches taller than the front (fooled me !) so it wouldn't fit our regular sized ...

Pros: Easy to learn to use, dials and knobs easy, bakes nicely, looks great.

Cons: Wish button panel on door would light up so I could see @ night.

Review: Beautiful, stainless steel, very nice appliance.  Very easy to use but must read the manual. Bakes beautifully, easy to clean.  I love the convection bake...bakes nice and even with browning.  Mine preheat quickly and easily, much like my ...

Pros: Looks beautiful.  Lots of setting to play with.

Cons: I have not perfected the bake option.
Very expensensive.

The Bottom Line: I'd recommend the use as a microwave...but I'm not ready to recommend it as a convection oven.  I'll have to post an update later.

Review: So far it works great as a microwave.  I haven't tried all the functions, but the ones I use the most are simple and easy enough to use.  However, I've tried baking twice and was disappointed both times.  First, I tried to bake frozen fish ...

Pros: Product looks good.

Cons: GE Customer Service is worse than pathetic. 1-800-GE-CARES does not care.

The Bottom Line: If you want service, better get some service agreement with the shop you buy GE stuff in. GE service sucks.

Review: We purchased this microwave from PC Richard & Son over a month ago and have not used it even once. There is a rotating knob which you use to select functions and change options. This did not work and we were told by PC Richard & Sons agent that we ...

Pros: Good power,nice syling, all common features

Cons: Convection mode is useless, Pricey , Limited support

The Bottom Line: It is a good microwave but the convection mode is poor which is what adds cost to the unit. If convection is important to you look at other makes

Review: I started the search for a new micro after our old one finally died. Going to many stores and web surfing for features and prices the saleman at the local home store suggested the micro convection oven for baking small iems or pizzas. This sounded like a ...

Pros: Shiny interior to impress your friends.

Cons: Find more use with our $20 toaster oven.

The Bottom Line: Avoid GE convection ovens. Seems like anything that runs at 110v will cause alot of disappointment if used for baking.

Review: The JVM1790 takes a full half hour to reach 425 degrees. Forget even trying to get it to goto 450 degrees. I thought I had a bad JVM1790 unit. Therefore, since I work at Home Depot I pulled down their JVM1790 display. I plugged it into a 20amp 110v ...

Pros: microwave works

Cons: Bake feature burns food. I've lost $22 worth of food

The Bottom Line: Buy a different brand

Review: To update my last saga on my nearly month old JVM1790: In the past 5 days, three repair persons have looked at my unit. Two told me that it is not possible to increase the baking temp above 300 degrees.The third tinkered with the calibration and managed ...
