I've had microwaves since 1979. This one is my favorite. Some extras I love in this compact microwave: very easy to set; one-button start from 30-seconds to 6 minutes; reminder alert when food is ready; pops nearly all my popcorn kernels, altho in 3 gos; very good looking.

Open Box Like New Item was probably a Display model as it was packed with turntable and ring inside bouncing around during transit to me. lucky it did not cause damage to heating element inside. some high school kid must have repacked it in original box and put address label on it for FedEx

Excellent microwave. Heats up very quickly especially my coffee in the morning if I let it sit and it gets cold. Fits in the spot perfectly. Has all the bells and whistles we need. Highly recommend

This microwave is a beast! The controls are simple, its' size is ample and it works like a charm! I have cooked, warmed up, defrosted in this appliance, without worry, and with utmost confidence.

Just installed it so I haven't had a lot of time with it. It looks sharp, and it was easy to set up. It's the right size for me and the price is great. It's a GE product and I have good experiences with GE products.

Okay microwave, does the job. Gave it 3 stars because after each use the microwave oven door locks. In order to get access to your food you need to press the cancel button for the lock to disengage.
If you have kids or even if you’re not paying attention you will keep pushing on the open door button trying to just open a door only to realize it’s locked and you have to search on the non light keypad for the unlock/cancel button.
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. Its helpful to note that the Child Lock feature can be disabled by following these steps. 1. Press and hold the “7” key for 3-5 seconds or until you hear a beep. Release. 2. Press the “9” key. Release. 3. Press the “0” key. Release. -- There will be two short beeps and the display will flash “UnLo” to confirm the default condition has been updated successfully. For more details, see page 10 of the Owner’s Manual, which can be viewed at the bottom of the Features tab on the product page of the Best Buy website. Lauren@GEAppliances

Works great. Child lock works really good and it's quite.

Overall, the microwave is good. Two quibbles: 1. when you unlock the door and open it, it springs open too forcefully. 2. The "keyboard" is hard to see unless light is good. If it could illuminate, that would be great!

This counter top microwave is just the perfect size for our home. We have a big microwave but it consumes too much electricity for warming up small portions.

I had a similar GE microwave (with slightly larger capacity) that I loved. It was generally similar to this GE unit, but this has a couple quirks I don’t like (& I’ll note, I just got it “new” yesterday). The person who commented about the dark buttons was right & I wish I heeded their warning! On black units, GE used dark color lettering on the buttons that make them VERY difficult to read on the black console (even with a flashlight)! Also, opening & closing the door requires a harder push of the button & door (it doesn’t work smoothly like my previous unit) & doing so is quite loud, more than just a closure click. It sort of sounds kind of like clunking something plastic or metallic hard onto a counter. I can’t speak to it’s heating power since it’s new, but thought I’d share my immediate concerns.
