Well pleased

I like the GE functions
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my 4th purchased of a GE microwave in 20 years. I originally bought one in 1999. Like it so much I bought a second one for the basement. Over the years these fail. The longest 9 years, shortest 4 years. This one is 2 years old. I like this better than all of the rest. It is more powerful, little more of a bass sound and not as high pitch. It has a feature that you can cook any where from 30 seconds to 6 minutes and 30 second using 30 second increments by pushing only 1 more 2 buttons. Rewarm coffee and make a tea, I only have to push 1 button! Cleans easily and no rust.

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

Posted .We are pleased to hear you feel the microwave itself is awesome. However, we can understand how upsetting it can be when an appliance fails.

This is a fantastic microwave oven!!!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This 1150-watt microwave oven heats the food up quickly and evenly. I use it primarily to heat up frozen dinners, cans of pasta, soup, chili, pork & beans, and to thaw packages of frozen fruit. I also occasionally use it to warm up an item that was refrigerated such as a chocolate brownie or lemon bar or to cook some instant oatmeal. Tonight, I used it to reheat a refrigerated chicken parmigiana hero sandwich. My housekeeper washes the glass turntable and she sponges the oven's interior and exterior once a week with a solution of liquid dishwashing soap and water.

GE Microwave

GE microwave
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.like the interior size especially. For a microwave that is not extra large, but fairly high wattage- 1150- has a very large interior, even large enough for one of my 9x13 pans. This interior width is not easy to find in that size. Very excited to have this option. Many do have the express minute buttons, but enjoy having both this and where you can enter time.

Great microwave
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I went to Best Buy shopping for a new microwave and found this one. The sales associate did a price match for me and found it about $20 less at another store and he met their price. Easy to use and very quiet!
