    Nice appliance!

    So far so good. The microwave performs well and matches my GE range. The only weird thing is that the fan runs automatically when you turn on the microwave, and i haven't figured out how to turn it off.

    Pretty good microwave

    Installation of the microwave was fairly easy. The door shuts loudly and definitely does not feel as sturdy as the GE Profile (10 years old) that I am replacing. The buttons are ok, but you really have to push to get them to activate. I am not in love with the new GE, but for the price point and compared to others in the same price range I feel like this was a good deal.

    Needed a replacement

    Had to replace a broken over-the-range microwave, this one was almost the same specs as our broken one. The door's a little bit crooked, the white LED display is a different color than the rest of our appliances, but overall it works fine as a replacement. Get it on sale, do not pay full price if you can help it. Hoping this one lasts longer than the last, but somehow I doubt it will.
