It started making a thumping noise after 1.5 years
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have two of these microwaves because I like them so well. The newest one is still working great, but this first one I got in 2023 was fine until it suddenly started thumping. After online search we are afraid to use it. I'm considering purchasing another one. Sad that this has happened.

Add key visibility

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Does not have a "reheat" button. It is noisy. Label on the front says to remove protective film before use -- hmmm can't even remove the yellow label! Have no idea what "protective film" is being referenced.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from GE Answers
Posted .Thanks for your feedback. A protective film can often be found covering the control panel. Unplug your microwave and wipe the control panel with a soft, damp cloth. Then dry thoroughly. Doing so may cause the film to pull away from an edge enough for you to remove completely. If that doesn't work, take a small piece of cellophane tape and dab the sticky side around the edge of the controls. To remove the yellow label, rub a generous amount of liquid dishwashing detergent around the outer edges of the label and allow it to soak in. Then try removing the label using only a soft cloth. You must not use any type of chemicals or abrasive pads as they will damage the microwave door and panel. -Vikki@GEAppliances
Economical Countertop MICROWAVE
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Does all the more expensive model did except defrost but works for our needs. Just a bit smaller. Auto lock after each use can easily be disabled. Happy with cost and value.

We’re glad you’re finding it to be a great value with all the essential features, and it’s great that the auto-lock option can be easily adjusted to your preference. Thanks for choosing GE Appliances for your home!
Not worth it
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Simple to use and set up . Stopped working after two days and only used less than 10 times for warming up food. Between 2 to 5min each time so most 50 minutes then nothing

I would recommend this to a friendNot worth it!
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sam club sold it for $49.95 on the same day i picked it up from best buy. I thought well best buy may have better quality that why it’s pricier. Of course i didn’t buy the one from Sam’s club so i dont know how it is, but one I have been using it about 6 months now. So, here how it is. Loud, unnecessary unclock function, and nothing special! It is worth about $50!

Great Microwave!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like the microwave, love the rotating plate. The only thing that needs improvement is the writing on the control panel. It's to light.

I would recommend this to a friendGood and almost great
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's overall good but I didn't realize it was only 950 watts when I ordered it so it takes a little longer to heat or cook items. I like the presets and the "lock" system.
