A genuinely versatile compact appliance when it works as intended, but enough reports of inconsistent units and a thin manual mean the return window is worth keeping in mind.

Overview
A 1.0 cu ft, 1050 watt countertop microwave from GE that adds convection baking, air frying and broiling in one stainless steel unit, sized for apartments, dorms and offices, with a crisper pan included for the air fry function.
Reviews split sharply here. Several owners use all four cooking modes weekly and call it a space-saving replacement for a separate air fryer, while others describe units that arrived with an underperforming air fry mode or stopped heating correctly within months. More than one reviewer also flags a thin instruction manual, leaving convection and broil settings to trial and error.

Who it's for
Anyone in a small kitchen who wants a microwave, air fryer, convection oven and broiler combined into one appliance. Not ideal for buyers who want a detailed manual out of the box or zero tolerance for unit-to-unit variability.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Positive reviews highlight the versatility of running microwave, air fryer, convection and broil from one compact unit that fits a standard cutout and runs quietly. Negative reviews describe a sparse manual with no real guidance on convection or broil settings, a loud beep some find excessive, and a portion of buyers who received units with weak air fry performance or that stopped heating within months.
Performance notes
The 1050 watt microwave pairs with a convection fan, a broil element and an air fry mode that uses the included stainless crisper pan, with preset buttons for foods like fries and nuggets. Reviewers who use it several times a week describe consistent results across modes, while others report the air fry function running poorly or the unit failing to heat properly after a few months.
