    GE Microwave

    This microwave has all the necessary features, without all the bells and whistles. The microwave looks very nice hanging above our new GE range!

    Not a lot of bells and whistles. It just works.

    We bought this unit along with our new range. Installation is straightforward if you ditch the template. Skip ahead in the instructions to "If you don't have a template" It's WAY easier that trimming and taping a piece of paper. As for the microwave... it's a microwave. It's powerful, cooks fast, and has a number of presets that make doing what you're doing easier. It's also attractive and easy to clean. The roomy interior has a large carousel plate, and the buttons are responsive to touch.

    Good Value and Gets The Job Done

    So far so good. This microwave works well without all the bells and whistles and was a great value. It doesn’t feel as substantial as the microwave I was replacing - the door is much lighter and the handle is plastic and I am hoping it hold up. It doesn’t have the most powerful vent fan if you are using the convertible option for internal venting but it’s functional. Overall it’s a pretty good microwave for the price and looks nice over my cooktop.

    Very good Microwave

    I purchased this to replace a Samsung that had been taken out by a near lightning strike which my wife’s ex husband hadn’t bothered to replace for almost 10 years prior to us getting together. Instructions were clear and I knew I would have to correct a lot of prior installation errors. We’ve had this unit for a little over a year and it’s been great. I had to replace the over stove light bulb but that was pretty cheap on Amazon and very easy to replace. The draft from the vent fan is very good and helps when I’m searing meat. GE is definitely better imho than Samsung. Will definitely buy another if it continues to work without issue for 5 or more years.

    Working Good

    We bought this same microwave three years ago and the digital display started going out and so we had the warranty to replace it and just did. Hopefully this one will last longer. It does heat efficiently and is easy to use. The door is pretty noisy, but that is minor as long as it works right.

    Vent plate

    Microwave works good, however, the chrome cover to vent keeps falling out .

    Cook time extended

    I'm generally happy with my microwave, but it requires a bit longer cook time than my previous appliance. Wattage is the same, so I wonder if my GE microwave was engineered to cook a bit slower.
