Customers admire the sleek appearance and design of the 2.1 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave, as well as its ease of use and large size. Many appreciate its performance, quiet operation, power, and useful sensor cooking and Chef Connect features. However, some customers have expressed concerns about the door's sturdiness and the responsiveness of the control panel buttons.
We replaced a home-builder-supplied GE microwave with this one, when the fan started to act up. It looks very good with the stainless steel front and no handle. We don't miss having a handle and like the big LED clock on the front. The control panel is on the main door which looks nice but could cause issues down the road as the cables for that are visible inside, near the hinges. We'll have to keep an eye on that one. The microwave itself is super-quiet when it is running. I have to check it is even cooking, it is that quiet. The vent fan though is loud enough on the lowest setting that you definitely are aware it is running. I have not tried the fan on any other settings, other than toggling through them to turn it off. They seem very loud so still we stick with the low setting and it seems adequate for most uses. The reheat function is very good but the defrost function seemed to overcook the chicken I tried. The timer is nice as it beeps loud enough to notice but not in an obnoxious way. You do need to go over and turn it off though or it will just go on and on. The interior is easy to keep clean and so far, has not got too messy. I notice some grease between the door and the microwave frame but if we wipe this over regularly, it should not get to messy. We are very pleased with this microwave so far and other than the noisy fan settings, it is excellent.

Is spacious, quiet and powerful. Everything you could ask from a microwave. Also pretty sleek looking, and matches my old GE stove. Since the door is as wide as the unit, you kind of have to step back a bit to let it swing open, but got used to it fast and no longer a bother.

The microwave is good, functionally it's the same as most modern microwaves. We aren't using the Chef Connect feature to pair it with the oven. The unit appears much bigger than it is due to the flush door, but inside it's actually the same size as most. It looks very nice and is definitely a conversation starter as many ask questions about it and think it's much more expensive than it is. It's worth noting that the door is loud when closing. Given that it's bigger and heavier than most, it provides an authoritative thud when shutting...which some may like. It comes with a carbon filter and vents upwards, which is good for gas ranges that can't have the recirculated air pointing toward the burners. We have ours connected to vent outside, and the four speed settings are nice, although the lower settings don't seem effective so we end up using HIGH and BOOST the most. My only complaint is that the LED display is white out of the box and our GE gas range display is green. Pictures on the site show it as green but I can't figure out how to change it from white or turn off one of the redundant clocks. Overall it's a very nice microwave that impresses guests and removes the bulky handle found on most models.
