Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased this GE microwave oven to replace my old GE microwave oven that I had for 23 years. This microwave has a turntable , with a glass removable dish..easy to remove to clean after spills. I love the timer option and the single 1 min - 5 min one touch activation. The weight of this microwave oven is much lighter, even the door feels much lighter than my original microwave oven. I like the GE style and brand and must say that I feel that it is the better choice in Microwave Ovens. The manual that comes with this unit is not a complete manual, I keep discovering new features on my own. The lack of a detailed manual is why I gave only 4 stars..The reheat feature seems to overheat the food a bit if left to rely on just the internal sensor, not sure if this is caused because I use a microwave lid when reheating foods..need to continue to experiment. I like the beverage button, as it heats my cold coffee to a nice temperature. I have used the defrost feature to defrost meats, this feature has been greatly improved. Overall, this is a great Microwave oven, I recommend it.

I like white appliances to brighten the kitchen. The panel is also easier to read than a black or stainless steel. The inside is also white which makes it easier to see. The light comes on as soon as you open the door and stays on while it’s cooking. Plus you can easily see through the door (unlike some microwave windows) to watch your food. It takes 50 seconds to heat a cup of water for my cocoa. It has your one touch cooking buttons and an add 30 second button which I’m constantly using. I’m sure I’ve missed something but I hope I can attach pictures which I think will help.

Fit perfectly in cabinet. Easy and convenient to use!

Item looks wonderful in my kitchen and it works well and is easy to clean not sure if the turner in the middle can be removed for cleaning .

The connectors on the thermal sensor and the flame sensor melted. The sensors are just fine and the fuse never blew. Also, this failure is not from flame or thermal event. It appears that the turntable mototr is defective and probably was from day one. It should present 130 ohms or resistance to the meter, but instead I get 120 ohms. I'm assuming that is the excess current that metled the connectors but did not blow the fuse. So far, all other devices test to specifications. The 2 sensors must be replaced cannot be reused because the spade connectors were damaged during the removal of the melted connectors The were fused together. My last microwave lasted 10 years and would be here today had the power company not fried every (almost) appliance and electrical device that I had. Even the kitchen range and several light bulbs. The one before that also lasted about 10 years. I didn't plan on posting a review until I saw so many others that experienced that same premature death from apparent poor or inferior parts. I am disappointed as i'm sure is Thomas Edison. Shame shame shame.

So far, this microwave works great with just the right amount of bells and whistles anyone would need!

I really like this GE microwave. I had a microwave that had a black window. This microwave has a white one so you can see the food while it's cooking. It is also easy to operate.

We purchased this model feb 2018 and it died December 2018. An electrical connector piece under the very top cover completely melted black and smelled like plastic burning because it was. GE honored the warranty and told us they would cover the replacement so having all ge appliances we bought the same microwave again thinking we’d be ok. But not even 6 months later the exact same model had the exact same problem and the connector piece burnt again. Ge knows of the problem and says it just happens and that it won’t start a fire but we feel there should really be some kind of recall on this model. It shouldn’t smell like your house is going to burn down when trying to make popcorn. So again they are replacing our microwave but I will not be doing so with this model. Please do not purchase this microwave it’s the worst model they have. Included photos of each microwave to show it’s the same price failing each time

many functions, spacious, very nice microwave, nice price. Delivered in 3 days

Easy to use and worked well until it died at about 15 months. We hardly used it. Mostly we would reheat leftovers or heat water for coffee or tea, but apparently this little microwave can't take much use at all.

I bought this for a gift for my in-laws. They are in their 90’s and have no trouble using this. They are very happy with it and recommend it to everyone

I had the same brand before for over 20year, during those years I never had a problem with this GE brand microwave. Very durable.

Strong big microwave great buy for the money!!!! !!

Fit perfect onto our built in microwave shelf in our new cabinets.

Worked fine first 3 months, then a sensor burned out. Store warranty is 90 days but manufacturers is a year but they really do nothing. Followed their procedures and never heard back from them. Sent a service technician but no replacement parts available. Have to file claim then wait for GE to ok for you to buy another then GE will reimburse you for the SECOND oven!

I had my previous GE mid size 1.4 cf for 7 years and I bought it for $99.00 Before it stopped working, I had been happy with it. When it failed to heat up foods, I started to shop around for that size and price from Panasonic, Samsung, LG...I ended up with another GE for $114.00 I am happy because the new model has 95% the same features as the old one plus some improvement like a button for 30 sec increment and light is on when the door is open that I could not find from Panasonic or Samsung, LG. In addition, the bright inner side and light on are very helpful when the heating process is on. So i can check at the foods visually and clearly. Four stars is rated because I could not close it by pushing the top of the door unless I push the bottom of the door. Pushing the top did not go all the way in,

I absolutely love this microwave! I wanted an all black microwave which wasn't easy to find. This one looks great. I also wanted a mid-size of at least 1000 watts. This model is easy to use and cooks perfectly. I love the 30 second key which can be added onto the time at anytime while the microwave is heating or as a separate key. Wanted to stick with GE because my last microwave was a GE and it lasted for many years. I would recommend this item to anyone looking for a new microwave.

Previous model lasted 5 yrs before quitting to heat any type of foods. This much improved unit makes cooking/heating simple without having to remember the time settings. For example to heat water for your tea, place cup in the micro, close the door, press BEVERAGE and your water starts heating, 20 seconds prior to completion-the indicator counts from 20 sec to END. Enjoy your cup of tea. You also have the following push buttons for: POPCORN,VEGETABLES,POTATO,CHICKEN,&FISH.

I replaced our old GE Microwave that gave up the ghost after many, many years of daily use. I tried very hard to get as close to the same microwave as I could. I liked the old microwave’s solid material construction & the way it heated food all the way through without constantly monitoring the process. It cooked baked potatoes perfectly along with melting quesadillas cheese without overcooking or drying out. So I settled on this GE model. It was almost the same size though the old microwave had curves at the front top sides where the new one is strictly boxy. I figured the inner workings would be the same if I got the same wattage. The first thing I noticed is the tinny sound when the door closes. The old microwave had a solid close snap that sounded firm. This new model makes a tinny snap that makes me think it could do with a better grade of mechanism. The pros are the cooking panel is easy to use & is much like the one before with individual settings for popcorn, potatoes etc. as well as the numerical settings. But the buttons are more clicky than a smooth press like ye olde model. The turntable gizmo is more substantial than the past model. This one has multi prongs that wont slip or slide while turning the heavy glass plate during the cooking process. Also it’s relatively quiet more so than the older model. The cons are: I noticed a small dent towards the back, almost unnoticeable except it’s towards the bottom so when you move it for cleaning & line it back up it catches the eye. Somewhere during the shipping process, even though the box was well padded it got tapped just right to crease the metal which means it’s not as durable a metal as the older model, which explains the tinny noise when I move it around. And I mentioned the clunky sound when opening & closing the door. Cosmetically it has clean lines but I noticed right off the vents on the side are towards the front, rather than the back, which blows air to your face when checking on cooking food. It’s a little uncomfortable, which is why I noticed the vents in the first place. Also it only has two rubber pads on the bottom at the front & none on the back so when moving to clean it leaves marks on tile & the microwave rocks off balance so I had to put a furniture mover square under to balance. You might wonder why I didn’t return the microwave but honestly I really hate to return things & I needed a new one ASAP so I stuck it out. I don’t think it will last nearly as long as the twelve years the old one made it. I give it maybe 2 years just on a hunch on the mechanics of the matter. I waited a good 6 months before reviewing this GE microwave as I wanted to check cooking various foods. Quesadillas are tricky. It likes to half melt the cheese but cook the shell nicely. To totally melt the cheese, the shell gets tough so you have to babysit the quesadilla while it’s cooking to get it just right. Frozen dinners have to be carefully monitored & stirred even when the directions don’t say it or the top layer is tough, especially anything with a patty or noodles in it. And I have yet to get a pot pie to cook without either drying the heck out of it or creating a gummy crust. So do I wish I had bought a different model? Yep. But would it have been a better model? I’m not sure. So many appliances seem to be just passable these days, kind of like disposable products, not meant to last past the warranty. So I’ll be kind & say this GE microwave is passable. Neither perfect nor horrible. Meanwhile I’ll microwave up some popcorn, it does that quite well & there’s a button for that.

We really like this microwave. It is small and compact but more powerful than many small microwaves. However, we purchased this one to replace an identical one that died in 18 month. We are assuming it was a fluke, but we should not have to replace it after just 18 months (one year warranty).
