    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.

    looks and works great

    Unless the matching range we got, this microwave works well. It really does well for what it is designed to do, so no complaints at all. I wish the door was a bit nicer (it feels flimsy), but other than that it is overall a solid appliance. Let's hope it'll last!

Questions & Answers
  • Does this model vent through the top?

    Hi Susan- The microwave is shipped from the factory to vent outdoors out the top (vertically), but can also be vented out the rear (horizontally) or recirculating (non-vent indoors). Recirculating Charcoal Filter JX81J is included for recirculating vent option.
