GE Profile 30" 1.7 cu. ft. Microhood Combination Microwave Oven with Convection Oven (JVM1790) —
We purchased this microwave along with a GE convection gas stove to replace our 13 year old appliances that were giving out.
The installation was easy! Actually, the most difficult part was removing the old micro. All told, it took about 2-2.5 hours to remove the old one and install this one. You do need a helper to hang it on the bracket as it's pretty heavy and bulky. I would not recommend paying for installation unless:
1. You are not handy with things at all.
2. You are not replacing an existing micro. If this is going where a range hood is located or an older house with funky cabinetry, then you will have more work to do and may want someone else to deal with it.
I will join the praisers of this unit. It works well and bakes beautifully. The capacity is surprising as well. We were able to put in a full size cookie sheet and a rectangular caserole dish. They both fit fine on the two racks provided.
The controls are fairly intuitive to start using w/o reading the instruction manual. My wife has a PhD in Human Factors Engineering, so if she say's it's good, you can believe it!
I gave it only 4 stars because it rattles a bit on the control panel side. Being the good mechanical engineer, I wedged a small piece of wood between the unit and the cabinet, problem solved!
Not a bad unit for the $$.
