Key pad too faint
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is attractive and a great fit but returned for only one reason. The key pad is simply to faint to easily read. Realized I would have to keep a flash light nearby. If that wouldn’t bother you, then it is fine.I returned it and got the slightly larger and very easy to read Insigna microwave. That works great so far.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendNothing but problems
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First microwave last about a month before it started smoking and stopped working. GE said they would send us a check if we replaced it with another it with another GE microwave. We did and this one has a problem with the door latch sticking, requiring 2 hands to open the door. We are still waiting on the check to reimburse us for the first microwave. We will not be buying another.

Posted .Hi there, thanks for leaving a review. So sorry to hear about the door latch issues you've had. If you're still within your one year warranty period, we'd recommend taking advantage of that. More details about it can be found on page 15 of your Use and Care manual. All the best. -Michael@GEA

No, I would not recommend this to a friendNot safe when the internals burn
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worked until the 1 year warranty expired and then the internals burned. Not safe in a house setting when your appliances burn.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendSo small
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You are unable to fit a full size plate into this microwave. If you used it in an office it would be suffice.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this as a gift for my mother. The microwave caught on fire within the first week and I am being given issues on getting my money back.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendLikely defect
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The first few days were excellent. Then it developed a significant squealing sound as the turntable rotated. I recycled the box, so I'm not sure I can return or exchange it, but I'm concerned that it may burn out. I don't leave the microwave when it's on because I don't know how serious the problem is.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendDo not buy!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Did not even last 3 months. Display just keeps flashing and beeping. Sometimes I can get it to work by unplugging and plugging back in. I can't even return anymore.

Posted .Hello there, thank you for reaching out to us. We're sorry about this noise. We understand with a new appliance it can be worrisome and we're happy to help.

Very small
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works fine to get by, but does not heat up big bowls very well.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend - Pros mentioned:Size
small, nice looking, relatively quiet
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was looking for a small microwave to replace the one we have on our countertop. Tried the Panasonic NN-SD372S Stainless 950W 0.8 Cu. Ft from amazon. Loved the power, but the fan cooling the inverter runs a full 60 seconds after every use which I did not like at all. Tried the LG - 0.7 Cu. Ft. Microwave - Stainless-Steel from Best Buy but it was way too loud, had black sides, and seemed kinda cheap. So, finally tried this GE microwave. Pros -- Stainless front with gray sides looks nice. -- One touch buttons. Push the 30 sec button or the 1 thru 6 numbers and the microwave starts cooking. So simple. -- When running, it is quieter than our old counter top microwave and quieter than the other two microwaves I tried. -- You can turn off the beeps!!! Since I am up early, that is a huge plus in our small house. -- The button to open the door feels solid not flimsy like some small microwaves. -- very compact. -- only $79.99 Cons -- Heats better than our old small microwave. But when I heated six ounces of water for 90 seconds, the LG water was five degrees warmer. Overall, I really like this microwave. I do not do anything fancy with my microwave, just use it to reheat food, warm up a tortilla for a wrap, or pop popcorn. This microwave meets my needs while looking nice, being relatively quiet, and taking up little space.
