GE - 1.9 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave - Black Slate

Beautiful look. Great features & functions. The inside walls are sharp looking with the old school look. Two items worth mentioning ... 1) Only 1 light inside the microwave on the right, so the inside is much darker that our previous GE model. 2) GE removed the night light "set on/off time" feature, so we really miss that. Otherwise, we are in our first month and its working great.

Love the black slate. Might get a fridge in black slate too. I could microwave multiple items at the same time. The 1.9 cu feet makes the difference. Although the black slate is easy to clean, the big sreen door and the side panel are not.

We needed to replace our microwave and we were trying to match our stove (GE)...closest we could find was this microwave, and I was a little worried about the color matching...it says black (w/stainless) but the picture made it look more like a dark slate gray. I was so relieved once it was installed to see it was actually a perfect match (black) to our stove, and not the dark slate that appeared in the picture. Simple buttons-handful of specific buttons (popcorn, melt, etc), express times, but really all that’s needed unless you’re a gourmet microwave chef. Inside gray flecked enamel was a big plus over the white inside of our last microwave that started peeling within the 1st 2 years, and foresee it not showing every little thing like the last one that became my nemesis...a good weekly cleaning should suffice instead of a daily cleaning.

This is a very nice microwave but I gave it only one star with the hope you read this and don't go to all the trouble like I did to install it only to find out the door won't swing open. Let me explain ... if you have a cabinet configuration like I have (see photo) where the cabinet on the door-hinged side of the microwave is deeper than the standard upper cabinet depth (in my case to accommodate a double oven), DON'T BUY THIS MICROWAVE! Once installed, the door will only open a few inches!! Due to the design of this door and its hinge, when the door swings open the left side of it "swings out" so to speak and hits the cabinet almost immediately. My old GE microwave was not an issue because the hinge was designed such that when the door opens, it does not increase the overall width of the microwave and hence doesn't come in contact with the side of the cabinet whatsoever. ONLY BUY THIS MICROWAVE IF YOU HAVE A NORMAL-DEPTH UPPER CABINET ON THE SAME SIDE AS THE MICROWAVE DOOR HINGE.

The microwave heats up fast, and I’ve had no issues with it. The color is grey slate

Best baked potato ever: just stick in and hit the baked potato button

I love this microwave. It has options that are automatic. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a microwave

This microwave was just installed a few days ago. I have some damage on the front panel and it appears to be bent on the side also. Other than that it works well.
