    Easiest Install Ever!

    So far so good! Purchased for the wife for Christmas as a replacement for a Goldstar MW that we purchased from BB over 20 years ago. Was pleasantly suprised after removing the old unit that the mounting plate and holes in the cabinet all matched up perfectly so all we had to do was simply put the GE in place. Took more time to unpack it than to actually install it! Works as it should and only time will tell if it lasts as long as the old one did!

    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.

    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.

    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.
