Poor build quality, defective door latch
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I will be returning this microwave. It has several defects due to poor build quality. Most notably, the door becomes jammed constantly. It seems to have some sort of locking mechanism that gets stuck and must be pride open after each use. There is no way that this microwave will make it past the warranty., So I am returning it immediately while the return window is open with Best Buy. It also does not let you easily select more than six minutes for a cook time.

Posted .We are sorry to hear you've had these issues with the door latch. This is not what we expect to hear, and we will share this with our teams. In regard to the Express Cook Features, this model has 1-6 minutes listed. If you want to cook for 7 minutes you and either press the Time Cook and enter 700 for 7 minutes and then press start or you can select the Express Cook 6 and then press add 30 seconds twice. It is our hope this model has been exchanged for you and your new microwave is working well.

Keeps turning off by itself
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Mine keeps turning off randomly. Ichecked my outlet or my circuit breakers it was not the problem. it was just a microwave problem.
No, I would not recommend this to a frienddisappointed not just in the microwave
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.stopped working after not even less than two months. tried returning it at the store (looked up if it was possible to return online purchases instore and it is) but the worker was down right rude and told me that they won't accept it even when the same microwave was on display? like just say you didn't want to do your job but don't waste my time like that.... i won't be buying in best buy for a while. really disappointed in their customer service. if you're thinking about making an online purchase and wanna make a return instore, don't waste your time, you'll probably end up in the same situation as me.

Regarding your experience with Best Buy, if you'd like to share your feedback with them, their customer service can be reached at 1 (888) 237-8289.

If you aren't able to solve your situation with troubleshooting, information on taking advantage of the warranty is available on page 15.

We can certainly look into your situation further. -Sarah@GEAppliances
disappointing countertop microwave.
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Microwave is very noisy while cooking food. Very loud humming sounds. Glass window in the front steams up inside, making it impossible to see food in the oven.

If you find that your unit is making noise that’s not normal then please review the warranty details in your manual (page15) on the website as well. Dianna@GE Appliances
