My mom bought a set of GE Cafe appliances (range, DW, fridge) for her vacation home where she just redid the kitchen. She has a built-in microwave shelf on which she put my great aunt's microwave...who was a wonderful person who passed away about 15 years ago.

She likes the GE Cafe because she loves the way it looks. But the only GE Cafe countertop microwave is a combo convection/micro and costs $500+.

I don't think she needs the convection because this is a small island vacation home and she already has the 2 ovens in the Cafe range. But she'd be so psyched that it matched the others. Really psyched, I think.

So I'm thinking of buying it for her for Christmas even though it's 6x as expensive as the microwave she actually needs there. But I don't want to waste my money and I can't find any reviews.

Is this a even a decent product? Will it work as a very pretty and expensive microwave well? The model number is CEB1590SSSS.
