GE - 1.7 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave with Sensor Cooking and Defrost - Stainless Steel

After researching several makes and models, I chose this one despite several critical reviews of the panel visibility and "tinny" door feel. I disagree that the type is hard to read, but my kitchen is well lit and I have decent eyesight. I do agree the door is noticeably less solid and heavy than our previous 2010 Profile model. We also notice the power seems less strong so we have to cook things a bit longer. The many features are convenient, so far we've only used less than half. I like the sleeker look, though slightly mismatched to our 2010 Profile range. Overall, we're pleased with the look and functions for the price.

The recently purchased microwave has quickly become a favorite in the kitchen. Its nice design and sturdy handle not only enhance its aesthetic appeal but also ensure durability. We have found it easy to use with a user-friendly keypad and convenient buttons, making it accessible for all family members. It works as expected, delivering consistent heating and cooking results, and fits perfectly in the designated space. Overall, this microwave is a good one that combines functionality, ease of use, and an attractive design, making it a reliable and straightforward appliance for any home.

Installed today, no reason to not be 5, yet. Ive not actually used it yet. *Nice clean look. *Easy to read panel, but not backlit. *Clock readout is a brilliant white light (doh! over my stove with a green readout! Might look to apply a smoke film to tamp it down.) *Large turntable fills the available floor space. *Surface light has 2 settings. *Has express cook (easy start) buttons . *Has a timer. *Installer adjusted vent to exhaust up/out the front top appropriately. *Two speed exhaust fan's noise seems comparable to the amout of air its putting out, though I always wonder about tech these days - can we not make highspeed fans more quiet? Is it a case of poorly designed cavitating fanblades? Or is it the motor, or a combo? *Door opens/ closes with little effort compared to my last one which is a nice change... Im not sure how I feel about the door weight... feels chinsey/cheap/too-light... we'll see. ***Interesting feature, I need to read more about: label says "Vent Fan May Start Automatically". Installation was a breeze... ALTHOUGH, because I work nights, I carefully waited to select a date a week in the future that specifically allowed for the 12-8pm timeframe. I receive a message yesterday narrowing the time to 12-4pm. I received an automated phone call yesterday confirming 12-4pm. BUT woke up to a 0900 phone call today saying they were 25min away!!!! Then looked at my phone to see an additional text reminding me to be ready 12-4pm. So I scrambled out of bed, got dressed, and cleaned up the kitchen cabinet and counter as best I could with almost 25min.

Love my new microwave! Heats great no noise very quite . So sleek looking and modern . Easy to clean .

The microwave is easy to use. The model has the sensory detection that helps you reheat or cook the food properly. Installation was easy because the store had the technicians come out and install it. The installers arrived on the day and time they were supposed to. The installers were friendly and knew what they were doing. They cleaned up after the installation and went down their way. The microwave has been installed for a few weeks now and is working fine. We are happy with the purchase.

Good replacement for my old GE Model which is no longer in production. Almost exact dimensions made for easy installation and good fit with my existing kitchen cabinets. Easy to read display with matte finish to minimize finger prints. Unfortunately the door is much lighter than the previous model and feels "cheap" when closing and latching. I question how long it will last..?

I purchased this unit to replace one I purchased in March 2024 that the fan turned on, on its own and would not turn off. The unit was very very hot and the only way to get to turn off was by turning off the circuit braker. Luckily we were at home, or it may have burned our home down. I don't know if it was defected or not, but for the unit to last only 2years 2months.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Looks Great I always buy GE products and have always had long lifes

I absoultely love this GE over the oven microwave. I selected it because of the beautiful Slate color when we replaced all of our kitchen appliances when we remodeled our entire home. The finish is finerprint resistant and looks so beautiful with our navy blue and white cabinets. the 1.7 cubic capacity is perfect for heating up veggies or simple meals. When pans on the stove top put out too much steam, the ventillation fans clear it right out. The controls are easy to use and it provides and additional timer along with the stove for cooking multiple dishes. Even if you have used a microwave for years, it is well worth the time to read the manual as it has important information pertaining to the features of this model. It also has suggested cooking times if you are not used to using a 1000 wattage microwave. Finally, the dimensions worked perfectly in our kitchen without needing any fillers on the side. I love these appliances and am glad i purchased the extended warranties so they will be covered.

Buttons and instructions for use are clear and simple to use. No big learning curve!
