    WORTH THE $109

    For $109 it’s pretty good. But like my last one I do not like the touch of the keypad, it’s very stiff.

    Dissatisfied with purchase. The metal on the side of the microwave was dented and there was no damage to shipping carton or the box itself. It was sent that way.

    I’ve been using this GE countertop microwave for a few weeks and it’s been fantastic. The 1.1 cu ft size is perfect for our kitchen — it fits plates and bowls easily without taking up too much counter space. It heats food quickly and evenly, and the convenience cooking controls make reheating snacks or meals super simple. I also like how quiet it runs and how easy it is to operate, even for family members who aren’t tech-savvy. Overall, it’s a dependable microwave that gives great performance at a good price, and I’d definitely recommend it to others.

    Great produce considering low cost. I am very pleased with my purchase. There are easy-to-follow instructions and the childproof lock system is easily unlocked permanently with one step. It is compact but powerful and is sleek looking. Couldn't be more pleased.

    Small but works

    So far so good. Have only had a few weeks. Small footprint. If you're looking for a small microwave for a single plate or reheat a drink this is perfect. If you need to reheat food in larger serving dishes I would look elsewhere. There is enough room for an average dinner plate, but as it rotates the paper towel I typically cover the food with may not rotate 100%, it can get stopped by the walls of the microwave. Reheats fine. Have not tried much else from reheating leftovers. Relatively quiet. Yesterday it did make a noise as it rotated that concerned me a little. Fingers crossed this microwave lasts many years.

    This GE 1.1 Cu. Ft. Countertop Microwave is the perfect balance of size, power, and convenience. It fits nicely on my countertop without taking up too much space, yet it’s spacious enough to handle full-size plates and bowls. Performance & Features: Cooking power is strong and even – everything heats up quickly without cold spots. Convenience cooking controls make it super easy to use – just press a button for popcorn, pizza, or beverages. The stainless steel design looks sleek and modern, blending perfectly with my kitchen. Noise & Functionality: It’s quiet while running and the door opens and closes smoothly. The digital display is clear and easy to read, and the timer function is a nice bonus. Final Thoughts: For the price, this microwave delivers excellent performance. It’s reliable, well-built, and has all the essential features you’d need. Highly recommend!

    It's good size for a small space. Quiet. The door feels a little clunky and it's hard to put in a time if you just want 45 seconds. Other than that, works great and a good price.

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

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    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)?

    Slow to Heat

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    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
