General Electric JVM1490 900 Watts Convection / Microwave Oven

Pros: Good looks, even cooking, many cooking features, many safety features.

Cons: A bit complex due to its many features. Probably too complex for a child

The Bottom Line: I recommend this unit if you like the idea that you are getting two ovens rather than one. Many microwave features, vent fan, and convection cooking make it very versatile.

Review: I've had this microwave for several years and I just realized that I never did a review. Since I personally appreciate as many reviews on a product as I can find when I am shopping, I figured it is better late than never. When I was updating my ...

Pros: You'll seldom use your full-sized, regular oven again.

Cons: Don't forget to remove the metal rack when using "straight" Microwave feature!

The Bottom Line: This product isn't at all over-priced for what it does. It replaces many other appliances, and performs the function of each of them excellently.

Review: I recently purchased this wonderful product from Sears at just over $600.00 (on sale) to replace the mostly useless (oh so slow) and poorly performing (oh so weak) SpaceMaker microwave which I inherited with the house.

As one who has a...

Pros: Sensor Cook is amazing! Holds 6 Dinner plates! Can bake in the microvave!

Cons: Convection bake takes awhile, the sensor gets food warm but not HOT.

The Bottom Line: Cook dinner every night? Always entertaining? THIS is the microwave for you. Reheating pizza? Cooking popcorn? Always eat out? Id avoid it, stick with a 69$ standard microwave.

Review: Summary

I bought a new house recently, and I opted to have my appliances upgraded from the standard ones to the GE profile set. I chose black on black, and the convection models. I must warn you, the manual is quite thick on this model due in...

Pros: Clean lines and design. Microwave/convection/exhaust fan functions in one space. Beverage feature works well.

Cons: Concerns about bulb burn-out rate. You can only dial cook times in 15-second increments.

The Bottom Line: I specified this unit for my new home and would do so again.

Review: I read in several forums how the whole unit needed to be removed to change the interior light bulb, and this is the GE Hotline advice as well. After taking a look at the assembly drawing, I figured out what to do. First (after you unplug the unit) ...

Pros: Attractive. Easy dial features. Cookbook with instruction.

Cons: Convection & fast baking is not the best method for delicate items.

The Bottom Line: I recommend this GE JVM1490 Profile Microwave/Convection Oven because it has always been very reliable for me. It has all the features you could possibly need.

Review: GE JVM1490 Microwave Oven We purchased the GE JVM1490 Profile Microwave/Convection Oven in February 2004 from Sears (the physical store). GE JVM1490 Profile Microwave/Convection Oven features. ~~ 900 Watts Microwave ...

Pros: Lots of features Convention oven Easy to use

Cons: Door cracking A little hard to clean inside

Review: After 3 years the door cracked in the lower left corner. A new one cost me $100.00 and I have no idea how long it will last. Should I buy one in advance just in case? How long will they make replacement doors? Not sure why the door cracked, but ...

Pros: Surface light and ventilation were good. More than adequate at cooking most items.

Cons: Lacks durability. Top of oven was difficult to clean.

The Bottom Line: I wouldn't recommend this model or GE model like it unless GE has made improvements to its durability.

Review: Not Durable Used this for more than four years. It was acceptable in convection cooking and quite adequate in microwaving. However, I had several issues with it concerning durability. The door handle plastic broke near wear the screw were - ...

Pros: Powerful microwave. Stylish.

Cons: Oven light bulb is not consumer replaceable.

Review: We purchased this microwave in May 2005. In October 2006 the oven light bulb burned out. There is no way for the consumer to replace the light bulb themselves. I'm not willing to pay for a service call. Otherwise I've been happy with the performance ...

Review: The convection features of this product are terrible. It is slow to pre heat and between sheets of c...

Pros: Attractive on the outside.

Cons: Slow to heat up, slow to cook, nasty to clean up...

Review: This little nasty oven is next to impossible to keep clean after using the bake or fast bake settings....Further, how can you change the light bulb without removing the oven from the cabinet, a rather major endeavor.... My microwave stopped working ...
