We researched microwave ovens of all brands, costs and features before choosing the GE Profile Convection/Microwave. We felt that our choice was an informed one. The features were extensive, as well as easy to follow, on the microwave, such as defrost, auto cooking and timed cooking. The economic benefits of cooking with the convection oven result in less cooking time than a conventional oven and doesn't create the heat in the house. The interior and exterior of the Profile is very easy to clean. I am very pleased with the choice and would definately recommend the GE Profile to my friends...
