Pros: Basically easy to use. Great browning and grilling features before the rack broke.

Cons: Lasted less then 2 years. I want to keep my house.

The Bottom Line: Don't buy if you like your kitchen, it may catch fire. Did fine for almost 2 years but not willing to chance it after that.

hbwright's Full Review: General Electric JES1288SH 950 Watts Convection / ...
Like mentioned above, mine also caught on fire after about a year and a half of use. My no-name brand that I bought for $40 lasted 7 years longer then this one that cost me $140 on sale.

I loved using the grilling feature and made delicious salmon for my first meal. The rack did break easily though so I didn't use this feature very much. I did use the brown feature, perfect for reheating fried chicken which is a family favorite but always gets soggy if reheated in a regular microwave. Also convenient for french fries and tater tots which is a plus for a mom of 3 young children.

The controls were really relatively easy to use for the basic stuff but some of the stuff but the combo cooking was too confusing and I never used it. Not even once. Just didn't have the time to figure it out and never really cared to. Too many features I guess.

The express cook was great for my kids. They loved to push it however many times I told them to push it. It goes in 30 second intervals and it gives them the greatest feeling of accomplishment that the know how to use the microwave.

All in all I loved this microwave up until I heated up some butter in a glass coffee cup covered in paper towel and heard crackling. I thought this was a freak one time thing so I didn't think too much of it except to tell my husband. Then the next day I was heating up popcorn (of all things)and the inside of the microwave lit up like Christmas in July. My husband swears that I must have had something that should not have been in there but it was a simple bag of popcorn. You can't get more basic then that.
