    Terrible Product. Do Not buy. It makes a terrible noise and we threw it out after a few months.

    The GE 1.1 Mid-Size Microwave worked great; no problems for the first 3 weeks; then it kept going out when boiling water. I did everything the same with it from day one; boil water, heat up leftovers, etc... and it keeps getting worse. Now it's past the return, but I'll see if I can exchange it.

    Like the title says this microwave died (with normal usage) less than a year after purchase and g&e will only come out to service if I shell out $150...I'll pass and just buy a different brand of microwave

    Operation was inconsistent. Sometimes it took 2 to 3 tries to get it to heat. Click wouldn't keep time.

    Awful, worthless after just 60 days

    60 days after purchasing - the motor goes bad, making loud grinding noise when the turntable turns. And Best Buy won't allow us to return it because it's past a whopping 15 days. That's their warranty, 15 days. So if you want one that works for ~60 days, go for it. Last appliance I ever purchase from Best Buy.

      Hi - We hate to hear about the issue you're having with your GE microwave and can certainly understand why you would be frustrated and disappointed. Your microwave does offer a one-year warranty from GE Appliances. Please refer to Page 15 of your owner's manual for the specific details of your warranty. Kind Regards, Vikki@GEA GE_Appliances

    Inexpensive unit that has been working effectively. Only issue is popcorn setting runs a minute short of popping a bag of popcorn.
