    Fine for my needs. Being old(er) and set in my ways it offers more features than I need. My microwaving is about 90 percent re-heating, 6.5 percent popcorn and the rest actual cooking.

    Nice exterior, and that's about it for the positive. The preset buttons are too dark and it's hard to see without glasses which button to push, my old one had clear buttons. The start button is only for 30 second increments as opposed to my old 1 minute increments. The power is not so good. If my old one took a minute to warm something up, this one take a minute and a half or even two. So wasting more energy. I would not recommend.

      It's normal to hear some sounds from your microwave during operation. Please take a moment to review the support article on the GE Appliances website titled: "Microwave - Arcing or Making Sounds." If you believe the noise you're hearing is abnormal, we recommend you take advantage of the one year limited warranty by calling us at: 1-800 432-2737. -Don@GEAppliances GE_Appliances

    Works okay for a low cost machine.

    While the machine works okay, I do find the buttons difficult to operate as the are "touch sensitive" and not real buttons, Sometimes the machine will not start and goes into a different mode which is very frustrating.

    Ordered this and picked it up on Saturday. Opened up the carton and it had a dent on top of it. Returned it and reordered it, hopefully this one will be a good one, without any dents on it. We’ll see, then maybe I’ll change my ratings.

    No light on screen - impossible to read. I had to make a sign and post it next to mic. Also the door has no handle and spring load causes door to swing open forcefully. GE you let me down.

    A pretty barebones model without any sort of fancy selling points besides that it works. I really wish you could turn off the beeping, or at least turn its volume down, but hey.

    It is ok for every day use in the office, we have about 20 people will use the microwave 5 days a week, Saturday and Sunday only 5 people will use. Only 1 month, the number pad on the machine is already half way destroyed

    nothing flashy about this one. But it does the job evenly. Might be a bit underpowered for some. But I only use it to reheat and make popcorn. So it's fine by me.

    Weird Product

    A very sturdy machine. However, It's incredibly loud while it's running! Almost sounds like the components are bumping into one another, even when it's a test run!

      Hi - Thank you for taking the time to post a review on your GE microwave. Based on your description there may be an issue with the unit. We would recommend reviewing Page 15 of the Owner's Manual for details regarding your warranty if the unit is less than one year old. You also mentioned the unit makes these bumping sounds when you're running a "test". Please do not run the microwave empty under any circumstances as that could cause even greater issues. If you want to "test" the unit, be sure to place a microwave safe cup of water inside the unit while doing so. We wish you all the best! Vikki@GEA GE_Appliances

    Works fine and looks fine but is underpowered. Takes significantly longer than our previous microwave of the same size which was a a Panasonic. Would not buy again.

    The microwave works great, but the dials have no backlighting So hard to sees at a glance Also the way the numbers and command buttons are designed they blend into the overall black color of the panel
