What Is the GE Profile Smart Wall Oven with Cooking Assistant?

The GE Profile Smart Built-In Convection Wall Oven with Cooking Assistant is a new connected wall oven that recognizes what you're cooking, suggests the right settings, and guides you through recipes step by step. Launched at KBIS 2026, it's available at PHAD Home Appliance (Pacific Home and Appliance Distribution) in Aiea starting July 2026 from $3,499.

An Oven That Knows What You're Cooking

The headline feature on the new GE Profile wall oven is CookCam with AI Technology. There's a built-in camera inside the oven cavity that actually identifies what you're cooking - a roast, a pizza, a sheet of cookies - and then recommends the best Precision Cooking mode for that specific food type.

That's a meaningful shift from how ovens have always worked. Traditionally, you look up a recipe, find a temperature, set the oven, and hope you got it right. With CookCam, the oven is doing part of that thinking for you. It sees what's in there and guides you toward the right approach. The camera also handles remote monitoring through the SmartHQ app, so you can check on your dinner from the couch without opening the door and losing heat.

Cooking Assistant: Step-by-Step Guidance on the Oven Screen

The 7-inch color LCD touchscreen runs Cooking Assistant, which delivers expert-tested recipes with step-by-step instructions, video cooking tips, and precision cooking modes - all right on the oven display where you actually need them. No more running back to a phone or tablet propped across the kitchen.

The algorithms behind Precision Cooking modes automatically adjust time and temperature based on the dish you've selected. Two new modes stand out in this generation. Slow Roast manages the long, low-temperature process for tough cuts of meat - the kind that usually demand hours of babysitting and temperature checks. Artisan Pizza mode is built specifically for high-heat pizza with the crust and browning results that are hard to replicate in a standard home oven.

Connected to Your Whole Kitchen

One feature that's easy to underestimate: this oven is designed to work as part of a connected kitchen system alongside the new GE Profile Smart Refrigerator with Kitchen Assistant, which launched at CES 2026.

The two appliances share information through the SmartHQ app. You can discover a recipe on the refrigerator's touchscreen, send it to the oven, and start cooking - all without retyping anything. Grocery lists sync between appliances. You can build and update your shopping list from the fridge, the oven screen, or the app, keeping everything in one place. For Pacific island households running a busy kitchen - or for anyone doing serious meal planning across the week - that kind of connected workflow actually saves real time.

Voice Control and Bluetooth Speakers

Select models include a built-in microphone and speakers. Voice commands let you control the oven hands-free - "Hey HQ, set the oven to Air Fry 500" - while you're mid-prep and don't want to touch anything. Juggling multiple timers is voice-controlled as well.

The Bluetooth speakers are worth mentioning separately. They stream podcasts, music, or radio directly through the oven. It's a small thing that makes a real difference in how the kitchen feels while you're cooking.

A Range That Covers Every Budget Level

GE launched 39 new models across Monogram, GE Profile, and Café at KBIS 2026, which means there's an entry point for every kitchen type and budget. PHAD carries all three brands.

GE Profile is where most homeowners will land - strong smart features, Cooking Assistant, CookCam on select models, starting at $3,499. Café adds the customizable hardware options and design finishes that designers specify for kitchens where aesthetics matter as much as performance. Monogram takes it to the luxury tier with premium construction, refined fit and finish, and models starting at $4,400. The core technology runs through all three - just at different levels of execution and design.

Who This Is For

The new GE Profile Smart Wall Oven fits a wide range of Hawaii buyers. For homeowners in newer Kakaako, Ward Village, and Ewa Beach builds who are outfitting a kitchen from scratch, the connected ecosystem play - oven and refrigerator working together through SmartHQ - is a genuine selling point. Everything communicates.

For the home cook who wants to level up without a culinary school education, Cooking Assistant and CookCam close a real gap. The oven handles the expertise side; you handle the ingredients.

And for condo kitchens on Oahu where the wall oven is the primary cooking appliance - no room for a range, no outside grill - having Slow Roast, Artisan Pizza, Air Fry, and guided recipes all in one built-in unit means less compromise on what you can actually cook at home.
