Damage item on brand new box
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This has been the worst experience I've had so far. When I picked up the microwave, the box appeared to be damaged, but the employee assured me that it was brand new. However, when it is opened two weeks later, there is a large warp on both the side and the top of the microwave. Since it was a gift, it was extremely embarrassing when the recipient pointed out the warp.

Stay away from GE appliances
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Microwave doesn’t vent all, steam builds up inside it constantly causing it to drip all over after cooking things in it. This is the second GE product I bought that has severe design flaws. The opal ice maker I paid $400 is a useless piece of junk as well . I’ll never buy another product from GE again complete junk from day one!

Posted .We understand your microwave not working must be concerning, and we want to assist. If the microwave isn’t working at all, you may want to check the fuse or circuit breaker to ensure there’s no issue, and/or try disconnecting it from power for a couple of minutes before reconnecting; this resets the electrical components and can often resolve an issue. If it may be helpful, more troubleshooting tips are available on page 14 of the manual; that can be viewed on our GE Appliances website when you look up the model number and go to the product’s page. If you think you need to take advantage of the warranty, information on that is available on page 15. If you have difficulty taking advantage of the warranty, you’re also welcome to send us a private message over our GE Appliances social media (such as Instagram or Facebook) with a copy of this review and your contact information. We can certainly review your situation further, if necessary. -Sarah@GEAppliances

Best of both worlds
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I needed a good mid-sized stainless steel microwave and I found this one as I walked the showroom floor. I love the quality and I love the price. It doesn't get better than that! Larry (Webster, TX) was my sales rep and he did an excellent job!
