General Electric JES1290SK Stainless Steel

Pros: Convection, grill, microwave, combo cooking all in one unit

Cons: Packaging didn't protect the unit from damage, gets hot when operating in convection/grill mode

The Bottom Line: This unit does it all, could replace an oven in many kitchens. Inspect carefully for damage.
