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.

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.

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.

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)?

The GE microwave works great for everyday use. It heats food evenly, is easy to use, and looks nice in the kitchen. A reliable and affordable choice for home cooking.

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.

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.
We’re so glad you’re happy with your microwave, and particularly appreciate its speed, design and quality. We’re also thrilled to hear you had a great experience with Best Buy and their delivery!

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.
Thank you for taking the time to share detailed feedback on your new microwave. We’re glad to hear that you are enjoying its quiet operation, even heating performance, and convenient features, as well as the sleek stainless-steel design. Your comments regarding the popcorn setting, child lock function, and door durability are appreciated. We value your input and are pleased the microwave has been a dependable addition to your kitchen. -Kacie@GEAppliances

This microwave oven is the perfect size for a small kitchen. Purchased it for family member moving into a small apartment. It works great and will hold a normal size dinner plate for warming up food.
