Customers frequently mention the air fryer, size, and ease of use as top features. Many appreciate the convection function and quiet operation, while also noting the good performance for the price. However, some users point out that the instructions could be improved, and the control panel and keypad could be easier to see in low light. The door mechanism also received some negative feedback.

Microwave functions well and heats evenly especially considering it is not inverter style. The air fryer is good as well even though it’s underpowered causing cook times to be extended. Air fryer accessories are also a bit cumbersome. Overall a well functioning easy to use product for the price. Do not underestimate how poor the keypad is to see in anything but the best of lighting. The lighting inside the cooking chamber is also poor, but this is minor.

This is the best combination microwave convection air fryer oven for the money. It’s a relatively small size for the features and inside space. We use this little work horse almost daily. I often use this instead of the large oven in the electric range unless I need to bake a larger size pan or quantity. This is our third time purchasing this exact product because of moving. Our first order was for a very small house that we sold and this was a great option for the small kitchen. The next one was for our daughter and son in law for a house they bought. This current purchase was for us in our retirement apartment where we hope to stay for a while!

This microwave is small but mighty! After our $850 Covid purchased Cafe model went out after only two years of use, we needed a microwave that would fit the space we had built for the Cafe model, that would still look like our Cafe appliances in the rest of the kitchen. However, this time around we were not forced to choose between the few overpriced models available to purchase, as we were during Covid. This time we were able to buy this model which was much more reasonably priced. Plus, this model has all the bells and whistles and reheats food so much faster! It has a convection oven setting, broil function, combo function, and best of all an air fry setting, which eliminates the need for another appliance. I’ve taken a photo with a large dinner plate for interior size reference. Although a small footprint, it fits all of my everyday dishes including a 9”x12” casserole dish, that dish just doesn’t have room to turn on the turntable. It’s smooth stainless steel surfaces are easy to keep clean, since there are no coils inside like some other brands with broil features have on the interior top. After a month of using this microwave, we are very happy with our purchase.

I had an over the range microwave but after using this one I donated the old one. This one is much faster and powerful. Has a lot of features but that is also kind of a problem. Needs an instructional video of all the main features and how to use them.

Purchased to replace 1.4 Cu. Ft. regular SS GE microwave and air fryer to have one unit do both as well as downsize microwave as it is used less often and for minor heating jobs. We've found this to be the perfect size and all the functions needed. Our only complaint is that it is hard to see keypad in dark lighting as they are not backlit; however, a very minor inconvenience.

I like this microwave as it has lot of great features. Once I figured how to use the options I am happy with the purchase.
Reason I took off one star is because the buttons are grayish in color and not easily visible. Wish they had it in bright white or backlit to make it easy to select them.
Like the air fry feature.

A bit of a learning curve but all functions seem to operate as advertised. It's quiet and compact. The only drawback is the color/lack of contrast on the buttons/controls. They are VERY hard to see in low light. I supposed we get accustomed to their individual placement but, for now, it's a pain to have to always turn on the overhead lights to to operate it. Other than that one thing, we're very please with this little space saver.

Our current microwave sucks, it’s really old. And my family wanted an air fryer this year, but I don’t have the counter space for one; so I replaced our microwave with one that can air fry. It’s Christmas morning and we tested it out by air frying a can of small cinnamon rolls.
Let me say GE SUCKS at the instructions given! They should at least have a QR code to scan to take you to the 24 pages of instructions they have elsewhere online. They exist and it’s 48 pages, the first 24 are in English. I printed it out, they are VERY informative!
This microwave can regular microwave, broil, air fry, and combination cook. It tells you about power levels, best things to cook in, settings and WHEN and WHY the included trays are needed/best suited for.
We air fried our cinnamon rolls with the tall rack and tray and as you can see from the picture it charred one side in like two minutes. The one page instructions for the air fryer do NOT tell you anything of consequence for learning how to use this! The full instructions mentioned for Combi cooking or convection use to utilize the short rack and gives examples of the best foods to use for each. Which is why we switched to the short rack for our rolls and they were salvaged and edible. Ignoring the charred ones the rest came out very nice.
It’s a new appliance with a TON of features and options so they’re is a learning curve because it is more than just a microwave now. We’re gonna play with different foods and learn the best ways to use it and the trays to see how well it works out or not.
Overall it’s simple to set up. Remove ALL the tape! AND PRINT OUT or DOWNLOAD the instructions, just google the model. This will be SO much easier with details and better instructions than the useless page they pack in the box. I also appreciate its powerful but small footprint on my counter.

This air fryer microwave was the gadget I didn’t know I needed! I don’t have much kitchen space but I wanted a microwave and an air fryer. This I have had 3 air fryer’s previously and the food always tasted like plastic this one does not and it looks so good on my counter!

This dual machine turns out some premium food. Absolutely love the Airfryer. Great product for the price. I would have given a 5 star but the inside dirties easily and requires frequent cleaning even when using covers.

I’ve had this microwave a couple of months now and love it! It’s very powerful. Air fry function is a great alternative to a separate air fry appliance, which I don’t have room for, and wasn’t sure that I wanted. The only downside is the number pad. It REALLY needs to be backlit as it is impossible to see in low light. Love the stainless interior, no more flaking paint! So far so good!

Very happy with it since it eliminates having an air fryer to find a place for in my small kitchen. The only fault I see is that the control buttons are a bit hard to see and should have a greater contrast with their background.

The cons are the AIR FRY feature takes some time to learn and get good at.
The grease tray sits high up in the oven space making it a challenge to get the tray out for flips.
The microwave reheating takes a little longer than I am used to.
These gripes are overcome however by the total satisfaction resulting from this purchase. I really enjoy having more than "just a microwave".
