Our verdict

A microwave over the cooktop that also air fries and bakes by convection, freeing counter space from a second oven. Vent fan details are missing from the listing, so check the exhaust setup before ordering.

Overview

Convection heating and sensor cooking controls drive this GE Profile microwave, which adds an air fry program to standard microwave cooking. Mounted above the range, it has a stainless steel exterior and interior and a touchscreen control panel.

Getting air frying and convection baking out of the space above the stove frees the counter from a separate appliance. The listing is thin on install details: no vent fan rating, no turntable size, and a color entry that contradicts the stainless finish. Confirm the venting and mounting needs with GE before ordering.

Who it's for

Kitchens with a range and an open spot above it gain a microwave, convection oven and air fryer in one unit. Shoppers who want a countertop or drawer model should look elsewhere, and so should anyone planning to hang it without a helper.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Air fry and convection programs built in
  • Sensor cooking controls included
  • 10 power levels for fine control
  • Stainless steel inside and out
Cons
  • Exhaust fan rating not listed
  • Heavy unit needs two people to hang
  • Listed color conflicts with stainless finish
  • Requires an over-the-range mounting spot

Performance notes

Reheating speed follows the microwave wattage and the chosen power level. Air fry and convection results depend on hot air moving around food in the cavity, so crowding the interior slows browning. Sensor programs time the cook automatically instead of relying on a fixed timer setting.

Frequently asked questions

How deep is the GE Profile PVM9179SRSS?

The listed depth is 15.56 inches. Measure from the wall to the front edge of your cabinets and range to see how far it will project.

Is the GE Profile PVM9179SRSS a countertop microwave?

No. The installation type is over-the-range, so it is meant to hang above a cooktop, not stand on a counter.

Does the GE Profile PVM9179SRSS have a vent fan?

The spec sheet does not list a vent fan or an airflow rating. Check GE's product documents before relying on it to replace a range hood.
