    This microwave is great so far. We have only had it 3 weeks, but we love it. It is very easy to set the clock and set the times for heating. The fan is very powerful! It is very noisy, but that is ok with us. When we installed it, one of the light sockets was broken. The Geek Squad came out the next day and it was fixed within 15 minutes! Great service. Love Best Buy!

    Inexpensive over the stove microwave and it works well, have not had any problems with it. The exhaust fan is a little noisy but I had a GE Spacemaker before and the fan was noisy too, so should have expected this to be the case as well.

    This microwave is a great buy for sure, but that doesn't mean it hasn't got great style and lots of features. I like the fact that it has a turntable (can easily be turned on and off) as well as an additional cooking shelf.

    Once this microwave was assembled and places over the oven, it looks really nice and works great! You do need a lot of tools and to follow directions exactly to get it set up - which is a little nerve racking when you are drilling big holes in your caninets! But, that would come with any over-the-range microwave. Overall, geat microwave with every option you would need - looks new and modern in the kitchen! It was also one of the more reasonably priced options I was looking at, so it's a great deal for the price!

    Bought this to replace a similar GE OTR microwave that died after half a dozen years or so. Expected the new one to be the same as the old one, and for the most part it is. The new model has some nice upgraded features, but Lordy it is noisy! Don't think I'll buy the same model next time around if it also is this noisy.

    This microwave works really well for my family. The feature I really enjoy is the fan kicks on when I am cooking on the gas burner below after it detects smoke. We chose this microwave because it matches our other white GE appliances. For the price, there isn't a better microwave. My only gripe is the amount of noise it produces when cooking. Otherwise, no other issues.

    Bought this to replace an older Microwave oven. It didn't turn on the third day after installation. Absolutely no power. No display. Nothing. Took it back to the store, got a replacement GE over. This time, the fan stopped working. Unplugged it, left it over night, tried it the next day, the fan was still non functioning. Took it back and got an LG. Perfect.

    I was disappointed when we got it put up and found that some of the parts were missing. Never was able to get the parts. Then tried Samsung and after installing, found that only one setting on the fan worked. We then went back and ordered a Whirlpool. After trying first the GE, then the Samsung, we finally got a Whirlpool - which is highly rated; and are now extremely happy. This microwave beats the others hands down. Also, the brackets on each microwave is different.; so you now have many holes. My opinion is to buy the Whirlpool, and you will be very happy you did and won't have all the holes that I have.

    We bought this GE because our old one (also GE) died after about 5 years. The saleswoman thought t would mount with the existing brackets and holes. Though it did not, install was easy enough. Definitely a two person job. Seems a bit bigger than the old one, and the fan runs on high whenever it's cooking. It cooks well. Hope it lasts more than 5 years.

    My old GE oven was working great for 17 years until the handle broke. This one looked like a good replacement. Of course it had a completely different mounting bracket and different holes had to be drilled in the overhead cabinet. It workers great and is packed with various. features such as turntable, timer, etc.

    I purchased this microwave oven as a replacement to the earlier version of this same item because the handle broke off. The oven worked just fine, but the handle has broken off twice before. This time it was completely irreparable. I am a bit concerned with the new oven as it has the same handle. You need to be cautious when opening the door as it is somewhat fragile. When I need to replace the oven for a 3rd time, I will definitely go with one that has a button that pops open the door instead. If you have children or adults in your house with a strong arm, you'll not want this type of handle on your oven.

    I already had a GE oven and a stand alone microwave I remodeled my kitchen and decided to try the space-saver microwave. Even though the oven was 10 years old, the microwave matches it perfectly. It has many features including settings for heating and cooking. I love the light feature with its two settings. In the evening it illuminates the kitchen and makes it look so cozy.

    For under $200, I replaced a 17 year old GE Spacesaver Microwave that no longer worked. LED readout in old unit was going anyway. Good value for a home that I don't want to keep forever.

    I replaced my 13 year old GE spacemaker with another GE spacemaker and the installation by Best Buy's contractor was superb (quick, clean and professional) and the product performs exactly as expected.

    This is a low end microwave in terms of cost, but it serves my basic needs, which are heating liquids and small quantities of food, cooking vegetables, heating packaged meals, and defrosting. It has been a very convenient and easy to use appliance.
