    A Microwave that works

    Not only that it is a perfect match for my Kitchen, the decent size microwave does the job. One touch 30 sec. function works perfectly. There is only one thing I noticed that may need improvement. When I am heating up a small bowl of oatmeal the glass platter inside makes some sort of sliding noise when the spinning stops. Not sure exactly what it is. More of a slight annoyance but not a real biggie.

    Heats fast and good all over. If you heat something in it and leave in, and then try to press for more time, it will not take it, you have to open the door and close to heat some more. I do not like that. I wish the whole thing was black stainless steel too, and not just the front cover area.

      Hello- Thank you for taking the time to share your review. We are glad to hear your microwave is working well for you. We appreciate your feedback in regards to having to open the door to restart the microwave. The thought process behind that is that the microwave control panel, wants to be sure you have something inside the unit before turning on. We will be sure to share your thoughts with our engineering and design teams. If you have any questions in the future, please let us know. We are here to help! Joyce@GEA GE_Appliances

    Looks sharp and fits well in space allotted. Excellent price point. Major drawback to this model is that I can only program in minutes or “add 30 seconds.” For some foods I would like to microwave only 10, 15, or 20 seconds. I therefore have to program in “add 30 seconds”and then stand there to cancel after the time that I want.

    Happy New Microwave RDS 4-2022

    I am happy with this replacement GE Microwave 1.6 cft model. I think it might have be bigger than my older Panasonic model... I am limited so far to its possibilities. I am just reheating or cooking simple heating vegetables, take out etc - so far... The space inside is good and it is pretty simple so far...

    powerful and easy to use

    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.

    This is a great countertop microwave. The heating level is much hotter than I expected. The panel is clear and easy to use. And at a very reasonable price. Our Over oven unit conked out, so we picked this one up - but I doubt we will repair or replace the broken unit. This one is that good!

    We wanted a microwave that did more than cook popcorn and didn't take up much room. The 1.6 cu ft GE is exactly what we needed and it is very easy to use!

    Bought "open box". Wasn't able to get a manual, or much help from BB as to how to. Microwave works fine, but am surely missing out on some of the features of it. Can't really recommend or say it isn't good when I'm not sure what all this thing could really do.
