Quality countertop microwave
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Exactly what I expected. The unit performs well, is well constructed and appears to be of high quality. I use it numerous times daily and it works perfectly. I've had it for a few weeks. Easy to clean and a good size for my needs.

Great Unit
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My old microwave worked fine but I was looking to upgrade in size and wattage. I did my research and was convinced that the GE was perfect for my needs. Very easy to set up and the controls are very logically laid out. I am very pleased with my purchase.

Unhappy with Repair
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The microwave itself is awesome. It cooks well, almost too well very fast. However if something goes wrong, however minor, the price of having it looked at is not worth having it looked at. I paid almost $300 for it with shipping and on a payment plan last July. it seems to have blown a fuse. To even have someone at Best Buy check that it will cost me $99 to even bring it to someone and then $10-$15 if it's a fuse. $115 to have it fixed. I think that's completely ridiculous

The perfect counter top microwave
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Our 1,000-watt microwave was starting to fail, so I surprised my wife with this new model. I never thought that upgrading from a 1,000-watt to this 1,150-watt model would solve so many problems. Things cook quicker, more completely. A cup of coffee heats 20 seconds faster, and there are almost no unpopped kernels in our bag of Orville Redenbacher. The unit is nicely styled, easy to use, and the interior light remains lit while cooking - a real plus. A lot of microwave for a great price. BTW - the salesperson & manager were an absolute delight. Kind, professional, and quick.

powerful and easy to use
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This microwave is almost too powerful at 1150 watts. It's easy to use with one-touch cook time buttons 1 through 6 and an "add 30 seconds" button that also functions as a one-touch cook start button. The only downsides are that the control panel is hard to read where this oven is placed in a pantry (have to have bright daylight or turn on the overhead pantry light) -- but it's rare to use anything other than one of the seven one-touch-cook buttons, so that's not a huge problem -- and that the in-between wattage level is awkward to compute equivalent cook times from recipes that quote times for 800, 1000, and/or 1200 watt microwave ovens.

Nice countertop microwave
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While a little on the small side for my liking, this countertop microwave actually works pretty well. On the highest setting it cooks things very fast and its actually pretty easy to over cook stuff so lowering the power is essential if you don't want over cooked food all of the time. Sensor cooking seems good for started a reheat cycle but I don't trust it enough to just let it finish reheating something on its own, I tend to watch it and stop it before hand and that seems to work well.

Nice features, not the most durable.
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A decent microwave with lots of useful features. Not necessarily the most durable product. This is the second unit I've purchased. The first one lasted a few months beyond a year. I bought the same model again because it is the largest microwave with the features I wanted that fit the shelf space in my remodeled kitchen

Looks great. Easy to use
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My GE Microwave is perfect for me. It’s size lends itself well to warming larger dinner plates, making a casserole or preparing snacks for guests. And at the end of the day... it delivers perfect cup of tea. An excellent deal for a person on the go.

Great value for price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I did an extensive search to replace the microwave that had served me faithfully for 25 years. I also needed a microwave with at least 1000 watts of power. I have to place my food in microwave for at least 13 seconds to kill germs since my immune system is compromised due to cancer. This microwave meets all of the requirements that I need. At the time of this review it is reliable, performs according to the guidelines in the manual and is the right size for my kitchen area.

Great Microwave
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This microwave was larger than we wanted but it just fit into the space we had for it. After about a week we no longer noticed the size other than we could get more into it easily which was a huge advantage. The unit looks great and works exceptionally well.
