    Bought this GE microwave and it worked fine until this morning. The website says we have 15 days to return. We are at 36 days and very unhappy at this point. Odd noises that just started, sounds like it is grinding and vibrating inside. My wife doesn't want to go near it.

    Buttons are hard to push. Instructions on how to use different functions are unclear. I still can’t figure out to to use some functions or why key pad is laid out the way it is.

    Was happy during the time frame the microwave was operable. However, not long after purchasing it and using it, there was a malfunction in its operation that was too expensive to fix. I had to dispose of it and buy a replacement microwave,

      Hello JessicaRamirez722 - thank you for reviewing your microwave. We're sorry to hear it seems like it is taking longer to heat your food. It is a 950 watt unit so it should work quickly for most food items. Please make certain the proper 3" air clearance around the microwave is observed, and that it is installed on a 15 amp dedicated circuit. Also please verify that you are using appropriate microwave cookware. Thanks for choosing GE Appliances! NANCYatGEA GE_Appliances

    The microwave looks nice and it seems to work well, but it is uneven because one of the legs are (somehow) shorter than the other three. I would’ve recommend if it wasn’t for the defect.

    I'm glad I got an extended warranty. I'm going to try to return it today. It frequently shuts off. And went turned off again today. It works fine when it actually works.

    Defective Rotator

    Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Rotater mechanism began making a terrible cracking noise on every use after the 3rd month of purchase! When the disk rotates, the noise it emits sounds like an old fax machine with expired rollers. Date of purchase April 2021. Label indicates manufactured in January 2021. Maybe stay away from that production series? My purchase was presumably brand new. Noise has not gone away after giving 2 months worth of a benefit of a doubt. I'm currently going through the lousy coupon process with GE, which does not qualify for repair.

    Picked it up in the store, and brought it home. The door is loose, we are afraid to use it. Take it back, and look at the display model, door is fine on the display model. Get a second identical model and bring it home, door is loose on it as well. Taking it back. Our first applicance purchase at BestBuy, and probably our last.
