Customer Ratings & Reviews

This microwave was purchased to fit in a small space on the kitchen counter. It works fine and looks nice but the paint on the inside is bubbling up and the ventilation is inadequate, causing a puddle to form under the turntable every time we heat something up. The moisture also has caused rust to form in spite of frequent cleaning. I would not recommend this microwave unless it's the only one that will fit in designated space. It is going back to the store.

It’s okay. GE products are good back to the old day. I can tell more when I use it frequently

I took much longer to heat up food than with this microwave than it did with my old microwave (over ten years old). When I heated the food longer to get it to the right temperature, the food was dried out. The button configuration was also confusing, and the Start button was very hard to activate.

so the size was right and we really onyl use a microwave to make popcorn and reheat leftovers. it works well for that. The spring action to open the door stopped working about 2 weeks after we bought it, it is super annoying to have to push the botton then simultaniously use your other hand to open the door. Honestly if it hadn't been the holiday season we definetly would have at minimum exchanged it but now I just would really rather return it if we still can. For the price it just should all work correctly. OH and 1-2 automatically starts for the corresponding minute.

Good for the price. Nice color and doesn’t take up much space. Warms up pretty fast. Will alert you if you don’t open it after the first alert.

Size of the microwave was just fine but the cooking power left a lot to be desired. It had only 700 watts and most directions require at least a 900 watts cooking power. Way too much guessing as to time to completely cook an item or frozen dinner. Returned and purchased a larger unit with greater cooking power.

This is a good sized microwave with good functions. The problems with it are that the buttons are hard to push and are not illuminated so unless there is enough light on you can't see them. This is a problem when it is dark and you want to use the bottom light feature but can't see where the button is to turn it on. We have had it a year now and the turn table is starting to rumble. Have to get a tech in to look at that. I like the defrost and quick cook choices. I would tell people to look at other options first before purchasing this.

Convenient size for small spaces however, this is a very low powered microwave. Even on the high power setting (10) it takes double time to heat things up according to the packaging instructions. Good price but I wish I spent a little more on a better one because I'm always in a rush and I don't like having to start it up again.

This is a good size microwave for a small area, but have to double the time to cook or heat food as the wattage is so low. That said, the controls are easy to figure our and it has a handy kitchen timer when you want to time something you may be cooking on the stove, etc. VERY loud "done" signal, won't miss it.

The size and wattage are perfect for my needs. The microwave works great and heats/reheats very well. My issues are the buttons are difficult to push and the numbers are not very visible and are hard to read.

I purchased this unit because it was light enough that I could install it myself because lockdown. It looks good, was easy to install. The buttons are hard to press, but they work. Some of the controls did not work the way that I would expect and took some time to understand. (Not fun to have to read the documentation). For example, the cancel key will stop cooking, but if you are using it as a timer, you press the timer key not the cancel key. I've noticed a certain amount of condensation in the unit which I did not expect and have been leaving the door open to allow it to evaporate. It is small and low powered. Not all bowls will fit, but that is part of the design and doesn't affect by rating. The effective power is greater than I expected, which is a good thing.

It is a good looking compact microwave. I love that the beeping can be turned off. However it only heats food in the middle of a plate

I had an older version and loved it. This version, the panel is cluttered and the clock numbers are difficult to read. I don’t need or like the child lock which I have to disengage every time the oven stops.

It's a wallet-friendly small microwave that does the job. Nothing great; nothing bad. Basic small microwave that fits on my shelf perfectly.

Operationally & cosmetically, this is a NICE compact micro. There is only 1 glitch that I can't believe: There is no inside cook light. This is actually somewhat unsafe, as you cannot see if anything is boiling over. Even units selling for $30 less have cooking lights. This is why I had to return it. Sad, as we liked it otherwise. For the record, we bought an "open box" unit, and it arrived as described, in excellent shape in the original box & packing. I have have great luck with B.B. "open box" items.

I bought this Small GE microwave to replace a similar one which had lived a long, useful life but finally died. It sits in a particular space so had to be a specific size, and that didn't leave me a lot of options. Strangely, however, everything was the same except the keyboard. For some reason the bar you push to open the door functions backwards from the old one: you push the left side of the bar in rather than the right, and this is awkward. Also, the on/off and various other buttons are in a different order, and also impossible to see without my glasses! One would think at least the "start" button would be larger or somehow more visible. This would be so easy to fix, I cannot fathom why they would not do it!

Needed something that would fit in 17” opening. This product fit. This is my 2nd purchase of this model. A little noisy, buzzes. Works ok. Had same model that I bought 4 years ago, wife ran it without anything on inside and it started shooting flames on inside, no flames escaped out of oven fortunately, but that was the end of the road for it. Bad idea to run it without food inside apparently. Guess 4 years use for $75 is ok.

Performs well and easy to use. The price is fair. Good product

Microwave is designed well, but can benefit from a quieter operation. This appliance has a loud churning sound during use. I'm not sure if the noise is attributed from the rotation plate or internal mechanics (vent system). Nonetheless, a noiseless operation would enhance its performance. Overall, the microwave is lightweight, compact, produces ample wattage, great value, and is nicely designed with a stainless steel finish.

Not a fan of the door construction. The edges are too sharp. I have many scratched knuckles when the door flies open. Also, I was replacing the same brand but a larger model. I couldn't find one where the feet fit on my shelf. I can no longer fit my old dishes in the smaller microwave.
