    My Frigidaire mod#FFM01611LS quit working after only 2 years. Replaced it with this GE 1.6 cubic ft microwave cause it had the same depth, width & hight to re-fit back in the cabinet mounting rails and trim kit.

    When our old GE started acting up, it was time to replace. We really wanted the exact same microwave with identical features (30 sec quick select, Popcorn button, etc). This is it! It's the perfect replacement, except for one thing. BEWARE THE WOBBLE! The first one we got would rock and not sit flat on the counter. I actually saw another review suggesting it was the counter not the microwave! In any case, Best Buy exchanged it for another and the one we have now is perfect. Just watch out for that first one.

    Bought this microwave since the old microwave just didn't seem to have the power it once had. This one is great and it was a really good price. Easy to use and does a great job. Very pleased.

    I had a GE microwave previously until my elderly parents accidentally set it on fire by overcooking something. Ha. Luckily, only the microwave was damaged so I set off to purchase a new one. This model is the updated version of our previous one and I love it. I love the express keys in order to choose the cooking times. It's one of the big reasons I stuck with the GE brand. You press 1 and it instantly starts cooking for one minute, press 2 for two minutes and so on. This eliminates having to press multiple keys to program your cook time. The GE also has many of the sensor cooking options (popcorn, reheat, etc) listed on the keypad as opposed to other brands where you have to press multiple keys to find/select the different items.

    Works well. Controls are setup a little different and can not do heating up timing like 2:22 only whole and half minutes. Otherwise a great microwave.

    Great microwave, but bad turntable after 1 year

    I bought this microwave as we removed the over the range microwave when we remodeled our kitchen. Our over the range microwave was a GE which gave me no issues for 7 years, so I went with the same specs for a countertop version. It’s been working fine for a year, but I noticed a couple of days ago that the turntable is sporadically jerking as it turns during operation. I don’t know if this this is a small issue and will resolve itself eventually, but I’m not holding my breath. Of course this happens when the warranty period has passed. I purchased in April of 2021, but due to delays in starting our remodel we actually started using the microwave in September of 2021. Yup. A year since we actually started using it and now it’s malfunctioning on us. Sigh. Besides the turntable issue, this microwave unit is great.

    Large enough and powerful enough, but can also fit in a small kitchen. Had to take a little getting used to, with time cook button. Overall, impressed and happy with my selection. It was a reasonable price too.

    Good microwave; don't rely on the reheat button

    Overall I'm happy with this, but there is no information about the functionality/keypad. I have tried using the reheat cycle (option 1 or 2 - no explanation) and if there is a heat sensor, it is not working because it burns things to a crisp if you don't check after a few minutes. Searched online for info on the reheat, but there is conflicting info. Other than the reheat button, I'm happy with it (popcorn worked well with a small bag of popcorn)
