I would recommend this to a friendI won't be buying this one again.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This little microwave didn't last more than 3 or 4 years, and by then the paint blistering and peeling on the inside. The white interior is badly stained and won't come clean. It is so lightweight that it moves across the counter when you punch the button to open the door, so you end up having to grab it and pull it back into position all the time. For the last few months it had frequently stopped responding to the keypad so I had to keep clearing it and trying again. Today the "end" alarm went off and wouldn't stop so we had to unplug the microwave. Time to buy a new one in a different brand.

Posted .Hi there, we're sorry to hear your microwave only lasted 3-4 years, that it was peeling, that the inside was stained, that it stopped responding to you, and that it was too light.

With that said, we want to thank you for your valuable and honest feedback as it will help us make sure no one else has the same experience. We're wishing you the best and we hope you can find it in yourself to give us another chance down the road. - Guy@GEA
Good customer service
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Delivered quickly but nothing happened when I plugged it in. Had to package it all back up to return to store for a replacement. Best Buy made it right but I lost 2 hours of my time.

Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s weaker than I thought but is alright. Mine isn’t a new one so it has its kinks.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendPoor
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The first one we bought did this: every so often, the place where you enter info (the digital lit up screen) got numbers "stuck" in it, so that even when I pushed the "Cancel / off" button to clear it out, it would not clear it -- no matter what buttons I pushed, nothing would clear it, But the "cancel" button should do it (and usually did). So to clear it (the only way the microwave would work again), we had to remove it from the shelf and UNPLUG it. THAT cleared it (its "brain") so that it worked again. After this happened at least twice, we returned it to Best Buy and could not get a refund, but only another microwave of the same model. Today, after about one week, it did it again, just like the other microwave. We had to unplug it to clear it so it would work again.

Unusable
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This microwave heats food well and evenly...when it's not sparking. I'm shocked to see we are the only ones with this issue. Anytime we put a frozen item or a stick of butter specifically in the microwave it sparks. It's because there's not enough moisture readily available within the microwave. I have friends that have other brand microwaves and have the same issue sometimes, but this one has proved to be unusable 75% of the time which is infuriating. We waited too long after the manufacturers warranty was up so if you notice this happening be sure to have it solved right away, that's my only advice. Or just don't buy this model at all. So frustrating.

Posted .Hello LindsC - we are sorry to hear that your microwave is arcing. This is not something that we would expect to hear and we apologize for your inconvenience. Please check that if you are using a paper plate or paper towel, to verify that it is approved for use in the microwave. Otherwise, if your microwave continues to spark or arc, we recommend to discontinue using it. We hope this helps. Thanks for providing your feedback. NANCYatGEA
Only lasted 2 years
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It worked well while it lasted, but unfortunately died exactly 2 years after we purchased it. We were just melting some coconut oil in the same bowl as always and the microwave started cracking and smoking, and the pad on the wall inside is burnt now. We just bought all new GE appliances a few years ago (range, hood, and fridge) so I am really disappointed this is such poor quality.

Posted .Oh no, we are so sorry to hear that your microwave began cracking and smoking seemingly out of nowhere while you were melting coconut oil and know how frustrating this must be. This is certainly not something we would expect to happen and is not the experience we want for you. If you are in need of assistance shopping for a new microwave, we would be happy to help. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us any time as we are always here to help. -Chris@GEA

too loud
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.functional, cooks well, but it is very loud when cooking. Auto time is confusing if you want to cook on half power.
I would recommend this to a friend Uh no!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got a problem with unusual noise and am going to return the microwave to Best Buy. The sound pulses and is not normal. I don’t trust defective merchandise.DGood
No, I would not recommend this to a friendTerrible
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This microwave is horrible. It barely fits a bag of microwave popcorn and took me 15 minutes to cook a bag of frozen vegetables. The turntable on the one I got didn't spin. It just clicked and jerked back and forth. The screen kept showing an error that wasn't even in the manual under troubleshooting. Maybe I got a dud? I returned. Would not recommend at all.

Posted .Hi there, thanks for the review. We hate to hear that this was your experience with your microwave, this isn't something that we expect with a new appliance. We do hope that we can work hard in the future to earn your trust back. All the best. -Michael@GEA
DO NOT BUY- FIRE HAZARD
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As many of the other reviews mentioned, useless and dangerous trash. Started sparking and smoking at the 2 year mark, and it only has a 1 year warranty. You get even less than what you pay for, so definitely pass on this.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendDON'T BUY, VERY DANGEROUS!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A bit small, only 1 plate can fit in it and very, very poor quality. Already broken, very dangerous, when it's turned on, you could see flares coming out of the side! Scaaary!
No, I would not recommend this to a friendAnother small microwave that sucks
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m glad I bought the extended warranty from best buy. The paint on the inside started pealing and would cook the plate but not the food.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendWorthless
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Rusted after less than 15 months. Would not recommend at all.

Works OK but Touch Pad is defective
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.2 months after the warrantee expired, the touch pad is becoming unreadable. It seems that air is getting under the touch pad decal making the numbers and words unreadable. This
