Exactly what I was looking for!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I took quite a bit of time to find a mid-size microwave that could 1) fit on my wicker basket cabinet, 2) accommodate a full size dinner plate, and 3) provide the most power possible. I found all three in this purchase. I was used to a 1100 watt that was built into my former apartment, but I moved to a much smaller apartment with no microwave. This 900 watt works just fine...I just add about 30 seconds to most heating instructions. I mainly use to cook frozen TV dinners and sides, soups etc. The buttons are easy to see and use, with every option I would ever use. The sleek design is a plus too. Highly recommend!

"Merkie"
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love my new microwave! It's a nice size and I like that I just have to touch the #1 button and it goes for 1 minute. Touch the #2 button and it goes for 2 minutes, press the start button and you get a 30 second time great for heating my cup of tea, cocoa or anything as it sometimes cools down etc.etc. It was a great buy, nice design with no protruding handle and it's quiet too! You'll love one too! Thanks Best Buy!

Works as expected
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this to replace a larger watt microwave. The ratings and price on this were great. considering it's stainless. I needed a compact model to fit on a shelf , so size was important. It works fine for what we need. (mostly re-heating). It also looks great. My only complaints are that I would prefer the operation dial would be more lit up. Also the buttons are not very sensitive. Often I have to push twice on selection to make it start. That's something that could be corrected without too much cost on future models.

The little microwave that could
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This microwave works well and is visually appealing. It's a good size as well, not too large, but fits everything I need to heat. The 950 watts of power has also been completely fine and I have not noticed a major difference from my last 1200 watt built-in microwave. I really like the auto-start buttons and the add 30. My last microwave couldn't start at 30 seconds with a button press, so this is much more convenient.

Perfect office microwave
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this for my office. It is a perfect, compact size for heating soups and making tea. Very good value (so far) for the price. I have to push hard, however, to open the door when food is done.

Looks great, works well, needs a few more watts
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This microwave was originally purchased for my daughter's college apartment. Turns out a microwave was already there so we replaced our ancient microwave that worked -- sometimes, with the proper um, encouragement. This unit fits the cabinet space perfectly (the old one hung over the lip of the shelf tray) and looks like a million bucks. It's far quieter and is very intuitive to use (who needs a stinkin' manual?). The only quibbles are that it heats food at perhaps 75% the rate of the old one. The timer is nice enough (and you can use it simultaneously with the oven -- yes!) but when it goes off, it keeps beeping until you find the timer-off button. This is an adventure in a dark kitchen and is not in an intuitive location (second button from the top on the far right). It's easy to keep clean and, sheesh, for the price, there's little about which to complain. I used the significant savings to buy the four-year warranty.

Good microwave, great size and design
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really good and attractive in the kitchen. Nice design. On paper, it's on the small side of microwaves I looked at it but it's actually really big?? Which, I'm glad, I was worried it would be too small but it's actually perfect. Can't imagine what anyone would want with a bigger one. Only downside is like most stainless steel, fingers leave marks. Heats well and fast.

It is well worth your money
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great microwave oven for the money. I especially love the feature you directly click times from 1 to 6 minutes without doing any programming sequence. Since I never need more than 6 minutes for anything I use the oven, I do not mess with programming. There is one thing I do not like: door opening button is too hard to push in. Why does it need such huge manpower to open the door?

Nice medium size microwave
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.No complaints after several weeks of use. Quiet when operating, heats evenly, easy to clean. I like that the beeping signal when done is loud enough to hear if you are in the room but not too loud. It does continue to beep periodically until you push the “off” button.

Perfect size microwave.
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great Microwave. I really enjoy it. I had mines a over couple 7 months now. The only thing I notice was it was getting hard to open the door. It heat up my food very well. I like the options and it is a nice size. I didn't want a small microwave the size is perfect. I'm not sure if we did some to make the door a little hard to open when push the button. It's very sturdy.

Happy
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am very happy with this microwave it heats up food really fast and doesn’t make a lot of noise. It was the perfect size for the bakers rack I purchased for my kitchen. I don’t use a microwave often but it is convenient to have around and when making purchases I just check the reviews and this one had pretty good reviews so yeah it’s a good microwave. Looks nice.

Pretty Nice GE Microwave
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good product so far. Quieter than our last one that died. The door button takes a little extra effort to push open. And it won't start up unless you've opened and closed the door indicating something was put in it. A safety feature of some kind I assume. The keypad is different than our last one so just takes a little getting used to the different options.

Works well at a fair price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We waited 3 months after purchase to write review. Overall, it works well, and it was reasonably priced. 1. Like a lot of others, we don't like the black keypad. Very difficult to see. With the last GE of this size, you just punched in a time & hit Start. With this one, you have to bend over, squint, & figure it out. 2. At 950 watts, it is a little weak. A cup of water heated for 60 sec is not as hot as our previous 1000 watt. You will need to use the higher end of recommended cooking times. 3. It has a ridiculous logic feature the should have been left off. If you open the door, put a dish of food inside, and close the door, it thinks you are ready to cook right now. But if you wait a while before starting, it forgets the food is in there! So after a few minutes you start to enter something on the keypad, it gives you an error message "Food". That means it thinks there is no food inside when actually there is. So you have to open the door again & shut it again just to tell the stupid robot that there is food inside. Will someone please stop this artificial intelligence nonsense before its too late?

Works well, great price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very happy with this microwave purchase. It is the perfect size for the shelf above my counter. I like the express cook feature...for straightforward cooking there is only one button to push for setting cook time. Only negative is that the button you must press to open the door is a bit stiff... I had gotten used to our earlier appliance which had a bit easier release. Otherwise I’m perfectly pleased.
