Overview

A three-speed vent fan and a sensor that reads cooking progress do the heavy lifting in this GE over-the-range microwave. It mounts above the cooktop in a standard cabinet opening, and Chef Connect links its light, vent and clock to a matching range.

Capacity and venting power are the reasons to buy it, with room for large dishes and a fan that clears cooktop steam. Chef Connect only works with compatible GE ranges, so owners of other brands lose that feature.

Who it's for

Families cooking daily on a range with a cabinet above get a microwave and vent in one space. Renters without permission to mount appliances, or kitchens with a separate hood, should choose a countertop model.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Large capacity for big dishes
  • Strong three-speed vent
  • Sensor cooking adjusts time and power
  • Chef Connect with GE ranges
Cons
  • Vent ducting details not listed
  • Chef Connect needs a GE range
  • Heavy for a single person install
  • Short warranty period

Performance notes

Sensor cooking measures steam from the food to set time and power automatically, so reheats and vegetables come out more even. Venting strength depends on duct length and whether air is exhausted outside or recirculated.
