    Strange Static Electric Noises when using

    There are strange electric buzzing/sparking noises coming from the microwave that come and go sporadically several times per session. Even low times a minute long. I will be returning the item. I think there is a reason this model is selling for such a discount. I paid 79.99 + tax.

    Bought this to just heat frozen sandwiches and drinks. The sandwiches turned out awful. The bread was over cooked like concrete. Kept trying different times and settings. Still the same, so I returned it and got a more powerful one. That one works great!

    Works good but... 1. The controls are not lit. Very hard to see unless the room is brightly lit. 2. The beeper is very wimpy and only beeps once.

    Noisier than expected, the door is not aligned with the frame of the unit. Sometimes I try to warm up a meal with the 30 seconds timer and it shuts off maybe at 12 seconds. Would not buy it again.

    This unit worked perfectly for a year and few days. We just woke up to see that it is out of power and would not come up. Unfortunately I just purchased same for my parents as I believe this is a good unit.

    Randomly turns on and off.

    The microwave worked fine for a day. After that when it was plugged in it would turn on by itself and if I wanted to heat something up it would randomly turn off. This happened consistently for week. I decided to return it to best buy and purchase and LG. I did notice a lot of open box microwaves for sale of this exact model so I do not know if this is a wide spread issue.

    I bought this microwave to replace a similar one that I had for many years with no problems. My first thought as I started to use the microwave is that surely I can't return a microwave because of the noise (which was headache inducing). But after 24 hours, I decided that I could return it for the noise. My next microwave will not be a GE.

    "3", "9", and "cook power" buttons gave out two months in, now (7 months later) it turns itself on with a suspicious electrical "popping" sound. Maybe I just got a broken one, but I'm definitely buying a different brand next time. The parts that work work well, though!

    Works well and on the quiet side. Only negative I can think of is that the script to read what to push on the right side is somewhat difficult to see. Should have been printed in bold.

    Stickers were put right on the front panel. Even with trying to remove very carefully there is a mark left. Needless to say, this makes microwave look old. Very disappointed in this.
