Good microwave. Works as expected. Quieter than our last model. Fits well in our existing stainless steel trim surround

Good product. Heats well. Its a little loud but that might be because I’m used to a smaller powered microwave.

Bought this to replace a broken Kitchenaid 1.6cuft (Model #: KCMS1655BSSO). Getting a new Kitchenaid was $500-600--not worth it. This unit **perfectly fits** the Kitchenaid built-in kit/trim as pictured--very pleased . . . identical functionality and looks great as pictured--all at 1/3 the price of the Kitchenaid.

We had a more expensive GE Cafe microwave in the exact same size, but with convection, that died. Never used the convection feature, and I was loathe to spend so much on a replacement.
Instead we got this one. Significantly less expensive, and has the exact same microwave features. Actually runs cooler than the older one, too. And is slightly more powerful.
Very pleased.

Great size, well made, quick. Lacks the finer settings of my old giant circa 1989 Quasar which finally died...(notice the sweet potato I tried to cook came out hard even after a second "potato" run...) Which had recipe book type ssettings like casseroles, fish, various types of meat etc. But am figuring out apx times and levels of heat for things. Otherwise quick and great so far!

We have had the microwave for a few weeks and it works wonderfully. The auto sense function heats up a dinner plate evenly and wonderfully.
The only time there is any uneven temperatures if the plate is loaded with food, but that is easily fixed. The display could be brighter but that is not worth docking a star.
For the money this is the best microwave we have owned.

Perfect replacement for the Kitchen-Aid 1.6 oven

It's an exact replacement (same identical case and size) for the 2013 Kitchen Aid 1.6 cu ft. oven which was great because we have a built in kit for the KA microwave oven and I didn't have to make any modifications. FYI - the built-in kits are more expensive than the oven LOL. Had it month or so. Works well. Control panel is slightly different than the Kitchen Aid model with a few extra features. Over stainless steel front is the same as the KA. Paid about $126.

So far it has performed well. Would like to be able to brighten the clock/timer readout.
The writing for buttons is hard to read on the black background and very small.

I just installed it. I replaced a Whirlpool wmc30516hz with the GE because the Whirlpool was garbage. Had two Whirlpool that only lasted two years. By the way, the trim kit for the Whirlpool fit this GE microwave perfectly. This GE was half the price and actually looks slightly nicer. I bought the 4 year warranty so I can have worry free use for the next few years. I will update this review if I have a negative experience.
