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

Easy to install yourself. You do NOT need a bump out kit unless your cabinets are deeper then 15” even if you have a 36” opening width for an older microwave like I do. I unfortunately listened to bad online advice. The filler kits are hard to find and are back ordered everywhere as of this writing but I was able to find one on eBay. Check the General Electric site for the right kit for this model as there are different ones. Marking a centerline is most important. One last install tip: don’t over tighten the bolts on top because the receiving jackets will lose their grip. My wife love the darker stove-like interior and says it’s much easier to clean then the white ones. Worth the extra money

I purchased this OTR Microwave along with all of the other appliances to match it for my new kitchen and I use this quite often to reheat and microwave potatoes. It works very well and is much larger then I thought it would be. It's a nice edition to my kitchen and I love the Black Slate since it doesn't show finger prints.

First GE OTR unit after replacing another after 5 years (seems to be how long they last). Looks good and seems well made with a rather quite fan. Hard to identify the buttons, really hard in low light, is my only concern.

Replacing a 12 yr old GE Profile 1100w over-range microwave with a perfect fit--the Best Buy installer was top notch! No doubt he made the fit work w/ his vast experience as cabinetry was a little too perfect despite measurements conveying otherwise on both BB specs & GE specs. 100w less s/b no noticeable heating time difference yet debatable. Dark inside hides food spills...+/- depending on your cleanliness concerns.

The buttons require a little extra push to make work. The fan is redickulesy loud, sounds like a low flying plain on high and not much better on low. This is venting straight up and out. The display is very bright and not dimmable. If you sleep in your kitchen this may be a problem.

The GE microwave is an upgrade from our previous one, having additional features and quiet in use. Installation was easy as it matched the previous product’s dimensions.

I've always been a fan on GE microwaves as microwaves are all about extra convenience and I think their features maximize this. The one touch number buttons initiate microwave function with that number of minutes. The +30 sec button is also the same and helpful when you want to quickly add time. It's easy to adjust the power level while microwaving too. I like to drop the power down to 5-7 a lot of times so the food doesn't get over cooked and dried out.

Our GE microwave went out so we wanted to stay with the GE brander our replacement. We bought this "open box" item and it was a DIRECT REPLACEMENT for our old one!!! Changed nothing!!! Microwave was back in about an hour and we saved $250!!! What a deal!!!
