Loving this microwave
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This Café Over-the-Range microwave CVM521P2MS1 goes perfect with our convection range CES700P2MS1 with Chef Connect. We used the bump out kit JX15BUMPBB due to deeper cabinets. This positioned the microwave perfectly over the range. This was set up to recirculate the air back into the kitchen. The included charcoal filter removes odors and the vent fan does a great job removing smoke/steam from the cooktop. We were already used dial cooking from using our 15 year old GE Profile microwave this replaced. Chef Connect was easy to set up. Love the microwave vent and light coming on when we turn on a burner.
I would recommend this to a friend- Pros mentioned:Dial

Very happy with microwave and installation.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Bought as a replacement for a 20-year-old GE Advantium microwave/convection oven. This is a great microwave (so far), and Best Buy's installer put it in quickly and cleaned up including removing the old microwave. We never used the convection feature of the old one and we're happy we just got the microwave. Good looking unit and matches our Cafe range.

Happy with purchase
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Very nice microwave to replace our older Cafe model that has been discontinued. This one seems more powerful and heats up food faster than the other one we had. This is on the higher price end but we are happy with this purchase.

Cafe Microwave
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.I bought this to complete my Cafe kitchen set. It does a little bit to learn the settings, but love the microwave so far.

Recent purchase of 2 weeks Great purchase
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Love my new microwave. It works very well and has Led lighting. You just have to learn how to program the nightlight and use the turn knob rather than hitting enter/start. Love the Bluetooth connection with the cafe range. My only wish is the lettering On the panel would light up or in a brighter white. Also missing the potato selection. It’s there but you have to look for it by using the dial. Well worth the price.

Do Not Recommend
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.If I could return all my Cafe appliances, I would. Did not want to wait for KitchenAid to be in stock but I definitely should have. The Cafe line is NOT anything special. Poor quality for the price. Sadly, the microwave is the nicest product in the entire line.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Cafe Appliances
Posted .Hello. Thanks for the review. We are happy that you found some things nice about your microwave, but sorry that you are overall unsatisfied with the quality for the price and would return all your appliances. This is not the experience we want for you, and we will use your feedback to improve our offerings. If you ever need help or have any questions let us know. We are happy to assist you.- Kianna@Café
What experts are saying
Q: QuestionIs this particular model CVM521P2M6S1 has a little drawer for the filter in front above upon opening door or not? BESTBUY ads is misleading.
Asked by Ildefonso.
- A:Answer It does not. The only filters are the exhaust filters on the bottom left and right of the microwave. I have attached a few pictures showing the model number inside the microwave and the left exhaust filter under the microwave. The one on the right is exactly the same. Have good one!
Answered by RH82
Q: QuestionI have a GE Profile microwave that mounts on the top. Also tile is under the cabinet. I want to purchase a GE Cafe microwave to match Cafe induction stove. Is there a Cafe microwave that attaches to the cabinet on top as opposed to bolted to the wall?
Asked by Debbie.
- A:Answer Hey there, Thanks for your interest in our amazing microwaves. We do have microwaves with templates that allow for attachment on the top. We recommend starting out with models CVM521P2MS1 & CVM519P2PS1. Let us know if you have any other questions. Mike@Cafe

Q: QuestionI’ve had my microwave for about a month. The “add 30 seconds” button is now weirdly just 10 seconds and today the internal light stopped working. What gives? Did I get a lemon?
Asked by Nuch.
- A:Answer Hello. Thanks for reaching out. We're sorry to hear that you have been having trouble with some features and the lighting. This is not what we expect, and we recommend scheduling service with a certified GE Appliances technician that will be able to accurately diagnose and repair your appliance. You can do so by calling GE Appliance Service at 1-800-GECares (1-800-432-2737). We hope this helps, and should you have any additional questions, please reach out to us.- Kianna@Café

Q: QuestionIs there a light under the microwave to light up cooktop range below?
Asked by Mary.
- A:Answer Hi Mary. On the touch pad on the bottom row on the right you will see Surface Light. Press this once and this will turn on light. Press again and the light will go to lower brightness. Finally press again and the light will go out.

Q: QuestionDoes this unit move 300 CFM or 400 CFM? The spec on Cafe website says 400, but Best Buy website says 300
Asked by gllong.
- A:Answer Hi there, the exhaust fan and vent are moving at 400 CFM. We apologize for the confusion, and we hope this helps! -Elliot@Cafe

Q: QuestionWell, I know GE makes these too, because they are oblivious that they NEVER show pictures of the undersides of ANY of their microwaves! So will y'all start making proper listings please? Thank you for your time...
Asked by Gameaddict007.

Q: QuestionHi , my Cafe over the range microwave CVM521P2M6S1.( Manuf. OCT/2021) Had a different look from the picture as advertised in the internet. There is no little drawer upon opening the door to take out the charcoal filter as supposed to be.

Q: QuestionI'm replacing a CVM2072SM3SS and want to get a stainless steel fingerprint resistant finish. The only over the range microwave I see that is such, is only 1.7 cu. ft. Can you please confirm that GE only offers 1 unit that is fingerprint resistant
Asked by Scooby.
- A:Answer Hi! Thanks for reaching out. We love the control panel on your old model! We're seeing that the only over the range microwave that our GEA line has to offer at this time is model JVM6175YKFS. Hope this is helpful! All the best. -Michael@Cafe
