Very good. GE makes good microwaves. We especially like the quick cook feature.

Not sure if I can add anything new to the previous reviews.
The good news:
1. We love the slate finish and will buy slate appliances going forward.
2. All of the features seem to work as advertised. It has the features we need.
3. Seems slightly more powerful that the old Whirlpool it replaced.
4. Runs very quiet during normal cooking.
5. Easy installation and fits perfectly.
The not so great news:
1. Agree with others. The display can be a bit tough to see in anything but a bright room.
2. Agree with others. The vent fan is surprisingly loud.
3. Agree with others. I can live with the surface light being near the back but it does a better job of illuminating my new backsplash than it does lighting up the stove top.
4. The door does have a slightly chincy feel when you pull it.

I have been please with GE microwaves in the past. This model would no longer heat before 6 months of use. It was repaired and now it is doing the same thing again a few months later. Two major breakdowns in an 8 month old appliance is unacceptable. I like all the features when it works but fear the quality of GE has declined or I got a lemon.

I cannot review an item when we are still waiting for delivery and installation. The only other thing I can say is, we are not happy that we already were charged on our credit card for something that has yet to be delivered and installed. But that’s a Best Buy issue, not a product performance issue.
To best address your delivery concern, we ask that you please reach out to Best Buy directly for assistance by calling: 1-800-433-5887. -Don@GEAppliances

Exciting Microwave?

It's a microwave, hard to get too excited. Consumer Reports liked it well enough and it fit the space. Fitting the space was the first priority. It is working as expected

I needed to replace my stove top microwave, which was only 6 yrs old and of course out of warranty. Since it was a GE I replaced it with another one. I hope it lasts.

This replaced an existing microwave. Installation was a bit trick and took a good 2 hours to get right and level. If you are not handy and don't have the tools definitely go for the professional install. The unit itself works great and the recirculating fan is quieter and better then the unit it replaced.

I had purchased the same item previously (1.5 yrs ago) but the repair would cost more than a new one. No extended warranty the first time.
They don't make them to last

Budget-friendly & meets our needs. The stainless-steel version is more visually appealing but our kitchen appliances are all black

Works extremely well and fits with my other appliances.

Don’t use geek squad

I liked this microwave until it broke about two years after using. Paid extra for 5 year warranty with geek squad but it’s been about a month now and they say the parts needed are “unavailable” and have no idea when it’ll come in but also refuse to replace so i have no idea how long I’m out a microwave. If you buy don’t waster your time getting extended warranty buy somewhere else

Our appliances are built to last and this is not something we would expect to hear. Please know that we value your business and apologize for any unexpected inconvenience this may have caused. We sincerely hope to have a chance to earn back your trust and business in the future. -Chris@GEA

The light that shines over the stove top is to far back. Only two screws to hold to the top cabinet.

We replaced our old (still working) microwave with a new one but I wish I still had the old one. This GE runs very loud and the fan is super noisy. I thought by replacing my 13year old microwave I would have a more efficient and a much more quiet product.
