The controls were a bit different and took some getting use to. I like them....my kids a bit less. I have rental houses and buy GE when possible. The repair tech has always been good to me and I think it is an American company or at least more than some others. I like the buzzer on the timer....other reviewers felt it was too quiet. The racks are able to be left in on the clean cycle...a plus. The oven that this one replaced was very loud when the fan was running and ran for 30 + minutes....this one is quiet.
