Seems like good quality
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Excellent microwave oven.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is an excellent microwave oven, with a learning curve to use. The invertor technology helps heating the foor and drink uniformly. I wish the interior is white instead of dark gray, so the food is more visible during cooking. It looks great after installation with a panasonic trim kit.

No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from GE Answers
Posted .Hi - Thanks for sharing your experience and giving us a chance help! We're disappointed to hear the decals are wearing off and apologize for this inconvenience. Please keep in mind when cleaning the control panel we recommend simply wiping with a a damp cloth, then dry thoroughly. Using cleaning sprays, large amounts of soap and water, abrasives or sharp objects on the control panel can damage it. Some paper towels can also scratch the control panel. If you need to make a warranty claim, you can call GE Appliances at 1-800-432-2737. Please have the model number and serial number available. We hope this helps. Thanks! - Sharon@GEA

I would recommend this to a friend Hard to see numbers
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a good microwave. It works fine. The lighted numbers where the clock and time remaining is on the microwave is so dark it very hard to see. I got ahold of the GE. They said there is no way to make the numbers any brighter. They said we hope this is not an inconvenience for you. Well it is.
