The GE JES1109RRSS is a combo microwave, oven, and air fryer. It comes with cooking racks for when you're using it as an oven or air fryer. You can also combine its microwave and broil or microwave and bake functions to quickly cook and crisp food. It has a big cooking chamber, so it can fit casserole dishes or mixing bowls. However, as a microwave, it's a simple appliance since it lacks a steam sensor for more automatic microwaving.
Our Verdict
- Heats food quickly.
- Big cooking chamber.
- No steam sensor.
The GE JES1109RRSS is a fast 1050-watt microwave. Some 1000-watt microwaves can heat food faster, like the LG LMC0975ST, but not by much.
- Heats food quickly.
- Big cooking chamber.
- No steam sensor.

Popular Microwave Comparisons
The GE JES1109RRSS represents a more affordable option if you want a multi-function appliance. Like the Panasonic NN-CD87KS and the Toshiba ML-EC42P(SS), it works as an oven and air fryer as well as a microwave, but it lacks some features compared to pricier options, including a steam sensor and a mute controls option. It has a big cooking chamber, although if you need a really high-capacity microwave and don't need oven or air fryer functions, you may want to consider the much bigger Panasonic NN-SN975S.
