    Very quiet. After each run time whether 30 seconds or minutes you must hit the end button to disengage the door lock. Not a fan of this step but I'm use to it now. Does the job well for time to temperature

    WORKS FINE-CAN'T SEE THE BUTTONS W/OUT MORE LIGHT

    In regard to the child lock, they give you instructions on how to disable it. The microwave works fine, as far as we can tell. We just bought it today, but we may return it because you can't read the buttons unless you have a brighter light on them. Why would they not put bright white lettering on it (like the photo shows)?

    This is a great, simple microwave. Wonderful if you have small children because it locks and you have to unlock to open the door. Especially if your microwave is at a lower placement.

    Microwave works as expected. Perfect size for what we needed. We required a lower wattage oven and it fit the bill. So far it has been a good replacement for our 25+ year old microwave that died. Well packaged and delivered on time.

    GE Microwave Review – Best Buy Purchase I recently purchased a GE Microwave from Best Buy, and the experience has been great so far. The delivery was smooth and hassle-free, making the entire process easy from start to finish. One thing I appreciate is its efficient speed cycles, which heat food quickly and evenly. The design is user-friendly, and for the price point, the quality seems excellent so far. Overall, I’m very satisfied with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable microwave at a great value.

    So far this microwaved has worked great. I thought that the casing would be black with the front stainless steel trim but it is all stainless steel. It came with a protective coating on all the stainless steel which was blue. At first I thought they had sent me a blue microwave. After I removed the protective coating and used the unit I noticed that it is very quiet. It cooks faster than the microwave it replaced which I like but have to adjust to.

    Slow to Heat

    It works fine. Easy to use and has a light inside when you open the door and while running. It's pretty slow to heat things up overall. I always have to add 30 sec to everything I heat up compared to my old one. The one thing the really bugs me is that its so slow that it either burns popcorn or leave a lot of un-popped kernels. Going to return it.

      We'd like to help out with your microwave cooking slowly. We recommend checking that here are no air obstructions around the microwave case. Magnetron tubes generate heat which must be removed by air flow. If the heat is not removed, the magnetron tube will cycle off and stop cooking. You can also check to make sure the power level is set properly. You can view more troubleshooting by viewing our article titled "Microwave - Food Taking Too Long to Cook" on our GE Appliances website. GE_Appliances

    I got the GE 1.1 cu. ft. Countertop Microwave in stainless steel and honestly it’s been great so far. It’s simple, heats things evenly, and looks nice sitting on the counter. I really like that it’s quiet when running and super easy to use with the one touch buttons and defrost settings. It’s got a good amount of space inside without being too big and it definitely does the job for everyday stuff like reheating and cooking quick meals. The stainless steel finish gives it a clean look and it feels solid overall. The only minor downsides I’ve noticed are that the popcorn button doesn’t seem to have the right timing since it either leaves a bunch of kernels or goes a little too long, and the child lock isn’t the most secure. The child lock can also be annoying at times and I wish there was a way to turn it off completely. The door feels like it might wear out over time but so far no real issues. For the price around $100 I think it’s a solid buy, nothing fancy but dependable and just what I needed.
