Microwaves have come a long way
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Unfortunately my daughter's microwave finally gave up the ghost but it was almost 30yrs old. She was sentimentally attached to it since it was the only one she ever new but that attachment went right out the window when I installed this GE model and suddenly the popcorn that would kind of pop and leave half kernels in the bag suddenly popped over 95% of it and was hot and fresh and crispy. Easy to use and much more powerful and smaller than the older one at a fraction of the price.

Happy New Microwave RDS 4-2022
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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...

Good value microwave
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Posted .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

A Microwave that works
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

HUGE microwave!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the first actual microwave I’ve ever purchased. All my other ones had been gifted to me with slight flaws, but they worked well. But this microwave is amazing! We have a big family and I needed something I could fit two bowls of oatmeal in, and this definitely accommodates that need! The fan isn’t any louder than any other, smaller microwave I’ve owned. One of the features I really like is that when it’s done cooking or defrosting or whatever, it beeps until you acknowledge the beep. I think the function buttons work great, I’ve never had a popcorn button that actually popped the bag without burning it or me having to stop it before the time was up, but with this microwave, I just throw the bag in and walk away. It has a sensor for reheating foods and cooking veggies which saves it from being overdone. If/when this microwave kicks the bucket, I’ll definitely be purchasing another.

No issues, and heats food very quickly.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There's not a lot to say about this microwave. It will hold very large dishes and its 1250 watts makes for very quick and even cooking. It's a good value for the money.

NEW MICROWAVE
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I think this is a really good microwave. so, far the only think I dislike about it is very noisy. sounds like something is loose inside of it. However, it does the job of getting your food piping hot, in one minute.

Excellent price point but one drawback for me
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
