GE sells its wall ovens under the regular GE brand and the sub-brand GE Profile. The latter is considered a premium line of appliances and so the Profile models cost slightly higher. However, GE’s prices are generally cost-effective and the company is known to have several sales throughout the year, offering buyers huge discounts. In fact, at the time of writing, there’s a clearance sale offering up to 60% off.

The company currently has over 70 wall ovens in its lineup with lots of advanced features, so it might be a bit confusing to zero in on the model that fits your needs. In this GE wall oven options guide, you’ll find out about the main features of the company’s ovens to help you get an idea of which ones are right for you. I’ve also recommended a few wall ovens that I think are among the best. 

Bottom Line Up Front

GE’s wall ovens are reliable, cost-effective options that are worth considering. If you’re looking for a single oven, I recommend GE® JTS5000ENES, a reasonably-priced smart oven with convection. If you prefer a double oven, I recommend GE Profile™ PTD9000SNS.

My Recommendations at a Glance

GE vs GE Profile

There are both GE and GE Profile wall ovens in the company’s lineup. But, what’s the difference? 

As I mentioned earlier, GE Profile is the premium line selling at a higher price than the regular GE ovens. However, I found that there are few features that differentiate the two brands, aside from the price. 

For instance, GE models never used to have convection but, presently, there are GE series models with True European Convection. Granted, there are features like Advantium, air-fry, and a 7-inch touch display that are only found in the Profile series, but the line between the two sub-brands isn’t as distinct as it used to be.

Both sub-brands have always been and are still reliable appliances, so the only thing that will make you choose one over the other is your budget.

Types of GE Wall Ovens

The company sells single, double, and microwave-oven combination wall ovens. I dove deeper into the main differences between these in our GE oven model guide, so do check it out. 

Which One Should You Choose?

The oven you choose depends on the number of people in your household, whether you prepare lots of oven meals, and how often you host guests.

A double oven is convenient because you can prepare two meals at the same time with different oven settings. So, if you have a large household or you love to host, getting a double oven would be a good idea as it’ll save you a lot of time.

Microwave-oven combination models are meant for those looking for an oven and a microwave in one unit. The microwaves in these units are advanced, so they do more than warm your leftovers. For small households, a single oven is usually the best option. And if you live alone, a compact single oven will do just fine. More on the different oven sizes later in this article.

GE Wall Oven Features to Consider

True European Convection

Standard convection ovens have a fan and two heating elements, ensuring even distribution of heat. GE’s ovens, however, have what the company calls True European Convection, and these ovens include an additional heating element at the back of the cavity, behind the fan. 

In these ovens, the heat distribution is improved since there’s heat coming from three points rather than just two. Ovens with True European Convection also cook food 20% faster.

Advantium

Have you ever imagined using light to cook? Well, GE did and came up with Advantium technology as their solution. Found in some of the company’s microwave-oven combination units, Advantium uses a combination of heat from halogen bulbs, microwave technology, and True European Convection. 

Ovens with this feature are able to speed cook a dish at half the time it takes to prepare the same dish in a conventional oven. The downside is that GE wall ovens with Advantium cost more than their counterparts. However, it’s a handy feature if you have the budget for it.

Air-Fry

Models with air-fry also have the convection feature because air frying utilizes intense heat and the fan that evenly distributes this heat. As a result, you get uniformly browned and crispy food that might as well have been deep fried. 

However, to enjoy this feature, you’ll have to part with at least $3000 and it’s only found in GE Profile models.

Twin-Flex

The GE Twin-Flex oven is a double oven with the footprint of a single oven. So, you get two smaller ovens that are operated independently, allowing you to cook two different dishes at the same time as you would in a standard double oven.

These models are best for smaller households or like two people, who don’t need all the real estate of the larger double ovens. Note that there’s only one Twin-Flex GE oven and it costs more than $3500.

Smart Features

As standard, GE’s smart wall ovens have built-in WiFi connectivity, which allows you to remotely operate it via the company’s SmartHQ app. Right from your smartphone, you’ll be able to pre-heat the oven and receive notifications when your meal is ready.

GE Profile models also have GE Profile Connect+, which allows you to update the oven’s software to receive new cooking modes and features.

Side-Swing Door

Instead of getting an oven with a traditional down-swing door, consider one with a side-swing door. You can get GE oven models with either a left or right-swing configuration. The door style depends on your preference and kitchen space but it doesn’t affect the oven’s performance. These models are mainly bought by those who are looking for something different.

Other Things to Consider When Buying a Wall Oven

Size

Wall ovens come in different sizes, categorized according to their widths. Compact wall ovens have a width of 24 inches, medium-sized models have 27 inches, and standard-sized ones have 30 inches.

These are standard sizes used by all manufacturers to ensure that you don’t have to modify your current wall oven cutout to fit your new oven. GE offers a Fit Guarantee to assure you that your new oven will fit in the cutout used by your previous oven, as long as they’re the same oven type.

I don’t think the company’s 24-inch models offer value for their price as they’re priced as much or more than some 30-inch models. I recommend getting a 27-inch model if the 30-inch ones are too big for you.

Capacity

The smallest ovens in GE’s lineup have a capacity of 2.7 cubic feet, the mid-sized models have 4.3 cubic feet, and the largest models have 5.0 cubic feet. In the combination oven models, the microwave unit (upper unit) has 1.7 cubic feet irrespective of the oven’s width. And the Twin-Flex model’s ovens have 2.2 and 2.8 cubic feet in the upper and lower ovens. 

Find out more about the oven capacity that you should choose, in the linked article.

Fuel Type

Gas or electricity? Gas ovens preheat faster, the heat is more humid, and you get instant changes in temperature. However, they’re not good at browning and crisping food because of the humidity. 

On the flip side, electric ovens have a more uniform temperature within the cavity and they maintain a consistent temperature throughout the cooking process. But, you’ll have to contend with their slightly longer preheating times.

There’s more information on oven fuel types that we’ve shared in our other articles. Check out the ones linked here before settling on the right one for you.

Price

Think about how much you’re willing to spend and the features/performance you’re getting for the price. At the time of writing, GE is selling a lot of its models for less than $1000, with some going for as low as $650. If you’re lucky to still find this sale, you should consider these discounted models as you’re getting a lot of value for the price you pay.

GE Wall Oven Recommendations

Selection Criteria

• Value for money – I looked at the features you get for the price of the wall oven.
• Performance – I considered GE wall ovens with a track record of cooking/baking evenly.
• Type of oven – This list is made up of different types of ovens to offer an option to buyers with different preferences.

#01 GE® JKS3000DNBB 27″ Smart Built-In Single Wall Oven

I recommend this 27-inch GE wall oven if you’re looking for a cost-effective oven without all the bells and whistles of higher-end models. The GE JKS3000DNBB may not have fancy features like True European Convection, but it still does a great job at baking and broiling as a conventional oven. 

Its regular price is about $1800, making this one of the most affordable models in GE’s lineup. However, at the time of writing, there’s a 62% discount on this wall oven, bringing its price down to about $700! If you’re lucky to still find this sale, this would be a steal.

Main Features

• The GE JKS3000DNBB has a capacity of 4.3 cubic feet.
• It has a 27-inch width.
• It has built-in WiFi connectivity.
• The oven can be operated via the SmartHQ App.
• It’s also compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.
• There’s Self-Clean and Steam Clean.
• The oven has two heating elements: a bake element and a broil element.
• It has heavy-duty racks.

Pros

• It’s an affordable GE wall oven.
• It’s easy to operate.

Cons

• There’s no convection.

#02 GE® JTS5000ENES 30″ Smart Built-In Single Wall Oven

Consider this 30-inch wall oven if you’re looking for an oven that offers slightly more features than the base models. The GE® JTS5000ENES, for instance, has True European Convection, which is always welcome in any oven. 

You can get the JTS5000ENES in three colors: slate, stainless steel, and black. Interestingly, the stainless steel model is currently on sale, going for about $500 less than the slate model. Its regular price is about $200 less than the slate model – I recommend stainless steel because of this.

This wall oven has a sleek, clean look with hidden controls that only illuminate when you touch the panel area. Inside, you get two heavy-duty racks that can withstand the intense heat of a self-cleaning cycle.

Main Features

• The GE® JTS5000ENES has a capacity of 5.0 cubic feet.
• It has True European Convection.
• There’s Self-Clean with Steam Clean.
• This is a smart model.
• It has two interior lights.

Pros

• It has a sleek look.
• It has excellent cooking/baking performance.
• The oven is easy to clean.

Cons

• The timer’s alert has a low volume.

#03 GE Profile™ PTD9000SNSS 30″ Smart Built-In Double Wall Oven

If you’re looking for a double oven, I recommend the GE Profile™ PTD9000SNSS wall oven, which, I admit, is my favorite double oven in the company’s lineup. Most appliances with lots of features end up packing merely gimmicks that don’t really help you out. The GE Profile™ PTD9000SNSS might have lots of features but they’re all quite handy to have, once you’ve gotten past the learning stage. 

I mainly love the in-oven camera. I know, this might sound a bit gimmicky but it’s convenient to have when you need to check on your meal without having to keep walking to your oven. You can do this remotely via your smartphone, on the SmartHQ App. 

This oven also boasts air-fry, which is powered by True European Convection. 

Main Features

• The GE Profile™ PTD9000SNSS has two ovens with 5.0 cubic feet in each.
• It comes in either stainless steel or black stainless steel.
• It has an in-oven camera.
• This is a smart oven.
• It has air frying.
• This model has True European Convection.
• It has a dehydrator.
• There’s a 7-inch touch display.

Pros

• It has lots of smart features that make it easy to operate remotely.
• It’s a sleek-looking oven.

Cons

• This model has a bit of a learning curve.

#04 GE Profile™ PT9800SHSS 30 in. Combination Double Wall Oven

Okay, I admit, this combination wall oven is expensive; it costs close to $5000. However, if you want a wall oven for the long term, the GE Profile™ PT9800SHSS is certainly worth the cost. Still, you get two units in one appliance, so the per-oven cost is just about $2400 – about the same or cheaper than a similarly-specced single oven. But, I’m not trying to justify its price tag, it can do this for itself.

This model has GE’s flagship features, like Advantium and True European Convection. These two alone give it excellent cooking performance, which is why you want a GE wall oven in the first place. The microwave unit also has Speedcook. GE tells us that this feature can cut cooking times in half.

Main Features

• The upper oven has a capacity of 1.7 cubic feet and the lower one has 5.0 cubic feet.
• There’s Advantium technology in the microwave unit.
• This oven has True European Convection.
• It has a No Preheat option.
• There’s Self-Clean with steam.
• There are two interior lights in the lower oven.
• The upper oven has Speedcook.

Pros

• It cooks food quickly.
• It has excellent cooking results.

Cons

• There are no smart features.

#05 GE Profile™ PTS9200SNSS 30″ Smart Built-In Twin Flex Wall Oven

GE’s Twin Flex wall oven is an option for small households that will appreciate the benefits of a double oven in a single unit. The GE Profile™ PTS9200SNSS has two oven units with 2.8 cubic feet in the lower oven and 2.2 cubic feet in the upper one. In fact, the lower oven is big enough to fit a large turkey. 

The Twin Flex works just like a standard double oven, so each oven is operated independently from the 7-inch touchscreen. However, the timer can only be set for one oven at a time, so one oven can’t use the timer if you have food in both. Also, you can’t turn on the internal light for just one oven; both turn on at the same time. Still, these are minor cons that are balanced by the excellent cooking performance that’s thanks to True European Convection.

Main Features

• This is a 30-inch unit.
• There’s True European Convection in the lower oven.
• It has air frying.
• This model has built-in WiFi connectivity.
• There’s a self-cleaning.
• It has a 7-inch touch control panel.

Pros

• You get two ovens in the space of one.
• Its racks slide smoothly.

Cons

• You can’t turn on the interior lights 

GE Wall Oven Alternatives

#01 Whirlpool WOD51EC0HW Smart Double Wall Oven

This Whirlpool oven gives GE’s models a run for their money in terms of price. At just $2500, for a double oven, this is a more cost-effective option than GE’s options. Both ovens have 5 cubic feet, giving you a total of 10 cubic feet in each. 

The WOD51EC0HW is a smart oven, so you get to enjoy remote operation via your smartphone. Plus, it’s compatible with both Alexa and Google Assistant. However, the price difference is noticeable in the cooking performance; this model lacks convection. Still, at this price point, this shouldn’t be an issue.

Main Features

• Each oven has a capacity of 5.0 cubic feet.
• It has in-built WiFi connectivity.
• There’s a touch control panel.
• It has Frozen Bake technology,
• There’s steam self-cleaning.

#02 Frigidaire Gallery GCWM3067AF Wall Oven and Microwave Combination

The Frigidaire Gallery GCWM3067AF comes in either black stainless steel or stainless steel. Whichever you choose, you’ll get the company’s Smudge-Proof finish, which is simply a type of fingerprint resistance. 

Looks aside, this microwave-oven combination model offers some flagship features that make it an excellent appliance. It has Total Convection, which is Frigidaire’s equivalent of GE’s True European Convection. This gives it cooking modes like Air Fry, No Preheat, and Convection Roast, among others. You also get the unique Steam Bake feature, which results in moist and fluffy cakes. 

Main Features

• The upper oven has a capacity of 1.7 cubic feet.
• The lower oven has 5.3 cubic feet.
• This model’s width is 30 inches.
• It has Total Convection.

#03 Electrolux ECWS3011AS 30” Electric Single Wall Oven

Electrolux mainly targets professionals, so their appliances are designed for a busy kitchen. However, this means that the company’s prices are top-dollar. This is true for the Electrolux ECWS3011AS, a 30-inch single oven that costs $3200. Still, if you’re considering a GE Profile wall oven, this Electrolux oven won’t cost you significantly more.

For the price, you get an elegant stainless steel appliance with convection and Electrolux’s Air Sous Vide Technology. You also get Air Fry and Steam Bake/Roast, both of which make this more than just a regular oven. 

And, of course, it gets smart features via that company’s Electrolux Connect Technology. 

Main Features

• It has a capacity of 5.1 cubic feet.
• This model has a width of 30 inches.
• There’s convection cooking.
• It has Air Fry.
• This model has Steam Bake and Roast.
• There are smart features.
• It has No Preheat.
• The oven has a Steam Clean cycle.
• It has a Dehydrate function.

Pros

• Its interior light is bright.
• It has several cooking functions.

Cons

• It’s an expensive single oven.

FAQs

Best GE Wall Oven Options: Bottom Line Up Front

GE is a reliable brand with a wide variety of wall ovens in its lineup. However, I discovered that a lot of the company’s ovens have similar or almost similar features, so it might be a bit confusing to find the one that fits your needs. 

So, to summarize, consider the features that would be useful to you and select a model with just those features. Avoid buying an oven with extra fancy features that you might not really use. Hopefully, this article has helped you narrow down your options to make an informed decision.
