I received a great price since it was an open box. I think the microwave is a little loud though.
I would recommend this to a friend

I needed a GE microwave to replace my broken GE microwave to fit in the same place. I found the best price at Best Buy

Very loud but you can't tell in the store when just looking at it.

Product is great! But beware, Best Buy will NOT give me reward points I’m owed! This is the last purchase I will ever make, as they do not stand by their programs or purchases!

GE Microwave kept breaking down after repairs

We bought this microwave because it gets very positive reviews, but we scored a lemon. 6 months after we purchased it. It stopped working 3 separate times. GE sent a repair guy who ordered parts and fixed it. 3 weeks later a different part failed, the thermostat. Same process and 3 months later it broke down a 3rd time. Appears to be the thermostat again and now we had it. No more GE microwaves.

VERY Loud buzzing Microwave

I am surprised there are so many good reviews. This microwave is super loud. I had an old GE microwave which stopped working/heating, and was producing a loud buzzing sound. This new microwave has similar loud sound. My heart rate goes up when this is microwave is on. Note that there is no loud sound if you use reheat. But for other settings like Express Cook, there is this loud buzzing sound (which is as loud if not louder than the vent fan. The vent fan sound is at least more pleasant)
I exchanged it once, and it has the same sound. Tired of exchanging again, I had a technician come over to check it out. Technician says it is normal. My 12 year old GE microwave was much quieter.

Had since Aug. 2022, now as of Dec 2024, the magnetron is going bad, sounds like a sickly humpback whale. Sadly this is my 1st dealing and major appliance purchase (stove, refridge and dishwasher) for GE appliances and I am less then thrilled to have to buy another already.

Best Buy the name doesn’t keep there words of saying price match guarantee. Don’t trust on there this guarantee it’s a lie… I bought this microwave and price dropped after 2 week when I went for price match they said they can not do price match because item was already discounted. That was very disappointing…
