I hope it lasts like my last GE microwave did

Purchased to replace my 16 year old GE microwave, similar to this model. I am hoping it will last like that one did. I find it easy to use and it does the functions well, as far as I can tell so far. My only complaint, and it is maybe minor (not to me) is the yellow display color (clock, etc.). It irritates the daylight out of me every time I walk into the kitchen. I have not been able to find a setting to change it.

This is the third GE microwave I have purchased over many years.
I buy the exact same model each time. Good size, reliable and simple to use.

We had our favorite microwave (Kenmore) go out on us recently and we were so used to how convenient all of the controls were (simultaneous cook time/timer, intuitive time settings, size) so we went with this one. The one-number time default settings are a little annoying as you have to press "time cook" if you want to enter an exact time, otherwise, you're stuck with how they programmed it. When the cook-time timer expires it beeps infinitely until you open the door (very annoying). I suppose this would be a good feature if I were 97 years old and could barely hear but usually 3 beeps is enough to indicate something is done. Also, when you push "Timer" and then enter the amount of time, you have to push the "Timer" button AGAIN to start it instead of START. Not very intuitive. There may be a way to program all of these settings to make it so you don't have to endure these steps, but why should I? Though these are annoyances, they are things you can get used to with time. The microwave works very well and cooks food evenly. But if you are willing to spend more money on a more intuitive control panel out of the box, do it. It will probably save you some misery in the coming years. I think Kenmore got it right with my old microwave.

Picked this up to replace an older unit that eventually died. This has great features that we needed and was not too small nor too big.

Got this as a replacement for a several year old Panasonic. This was priced well, and the same features though it was slightly smaller. It controls all functions via an easy to use touchpad, which I greatly prefer over the panasonic design that used a pop-out round knob to set time. I'd say the only thing slightly worse about this oven is that the door latching isn't quite as good, you have to spend a little more effort to close the door properly. But so far, I really like this oven!

This is a very good microwave oven. It is quite roomy. Has many features.
Only complaint I have is that it makes a squicky noise whenever you press the switch to Open the door! Otherwise, I would have given Five Stars.

This microwave is wonderful. Extremely easy to use. I took back another microwave because the instruction book was too complicated. This one was one page just like it should be.

The microwave works great. It took a bit getting used to being able to set a specific time for cook; instead of the speed cook setting.

We were looking for a medium (not too big) Microwave to replace one that has died. This one is quiet, cooks quickly and we are pleased.

We found this to be a pretty standard mid-size unit. This controls were easy to use with several ways to enter cook times. There is a sensor built-in to cook different types of food which we found to be better in some cases (beverages) and less so on others (potato). The size is fine for heating frozen dinners and most things but would be small for cooking full dinner items. We find it to be a great mid-size oven.

Works well, but noisy

I bought this to replace a Sharp that, after 10 years of hard use, went up in a shower of sparks. This microwave is MUCH lighter, which is good and bad - good if you need to carry/ move it, bad if you have food in one hand and go to push the door open button, thereby pushing the whole oven right off the microwave cart. You're probably going to want to put this somewhere with a back, like a kitchen counter. The preset buttons are nice (I especially like the reheat button) but the carousel is super noisy. To the point I thought there was something wrong with it at first. But it seems to turn fine, it's just loud. Like most things, this seems more cheaply made than the older one it replaced. But it does what it's supposed to do.

Nice size for our kitchen. This oven replaced one of the same model purchased less than 1 year ago that had to be replaced because the control panel covering was coming off.

We had the same microwave for around the last 4 to 5 years so when it went out, we wanted to replace it with one just like it. A few of the controls are a little different but not a problem.
