Summary

While GE has focussed more on the aesthetics and basic microwave functions, Whirlpool has given the convection oven a lot more thought and consideration. And one of them is the memory program pad which you can't find it in GE

The memory program pad in whirlpool will allow you to recall the cooking instructions before and place it in memory so you can begin cooking quickly. And also you can setup cooking in different stages (up to 3 stages)

Not to mention you will have 3 type of beverage, coffee, tea and hot chocolate to heat and it comes with serving temperature such as warm, hot and very hot

The convection oven from Whirlpool has more smarter options and hence an obvious choice for someone looking to bake more often.

Besides these models, many brands have come out with their versions of built in microwave ovens. While very few are fully built in, many come with optional trim kits that make the units built in.
