GE GCST10A1WSS Convection Microwave vs Café 1.5 Cu. Ft. Convection Microwave

The GE is the better pick if air frying and broiling matter most; it is the only one of the two with a dedicated air fry mode, crisper pan and broiler. The Café is the larger, smarter oven: 1.5 cu. ft. versus 1.0, sensor cooking, Wi-Fi and voice control, Scan-to-Cook, a warming oven and auto bake/roast. The GE has more raw microwave power at 1,050 watts against 1,000, but the Café wins on capacity, automation and connected features. Owners of both lines praise convection results; the GE's air fry mode is the feature shoppers cite most, while Café buyers value the sensor and app control.

• Choose the GE if you want built-in air frying and broiling in a compact countertop oven and do not need Wi-Fi or app control.
• Choose the Café if you cook for more people, want sensor cooking and app or voice control, and can give up a dedicated air fry mode.
