Not made the way they used to be!
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this microwave when we remodeled our kitchen. We love GE, and like certain features that it has. Less than 2 years later, it makes clunking noises, and the bottom of the interior is delaminating. At first I thought that it was just dirty, but after trying to clean it, it is cracking! Thankfully I purchased a protection plan! Not made the way they used to be!!!

Almost started a fire
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sensor never worked right from the start. Our food boiled over or got baked hard. We returned it when on Say 15, it cooked rice to a noxious charcoal briquette and was about to catch fire Because the sensor never detected that the food was done. I pulled the plug and returned it to the store for a Breville

GREAT MICROWAVE!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am very pleased with the GE 1.6 Cu Ft. Microwave with Sensor Cooking in Stainless Steel. My old one was beyond being worn out and needed to be quickly replaced. My old microwave was a Kenmore with the same cubic feet. I haven't had it long, but am pleased with it. It works! Also, it performs like a normal microwave and has all the basic features. It is attractive, and the stainless steel provides a nice updated look in my kitchen.

Last minute buy
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Our Vintage microwave gave out and I didn’t have much time to research's before making my purchase. I found this one after a friend’(also a former BB employees) recommended it. I pleased with our purchase. I heats quickly, compact in size for the cubic foot. The purchase process was smooth and simple. I usually try to resort to Best Buy for my appliance and electronic purchases when possible, they have great products and provide great service. **2qt size dish that is in photo

A nice looking easy to use microwave
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A wude and deep microwave that is easy to use and runs quietly. I had a few that lasted almost 20 years, so i went with age model again. I really/ like the easy to clean look of the stainless steel with accents. It offers allot of preset cooking options which is nice. Setting the clock and timer is easy too. And it's light in weight, which is a big change from my old one. I hope it lasts as long.

So Happy With This Microwave!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After looking at every microwave option I could find and not wanting to replicate my last poor microwave purchase, I reluctantly chose this GE microwave. I absolutely love it! It is so easy to use and heats very well! It is not too big nor too small. The button options are so easy to use, whether you want to just push one for how many minutes you want or add 30 seconds ...or if you want to put in your own time. The timer function can be a bit of an annoyance because it doesn't stop beeping until you get over to it and stop it. But then again, it makes you adhere to the time you set it for. So that's not all bad either. So glad I chose this one!

Must buy
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had a previous GE microwave for over 15 years until it gave out, it was the best microwave. Buying a new one I was hoping I’d get one that worked almost as good as the older one. Let me tell you this microwave is amazing. It really heats up all of your food, not just some parts. It’s quieter than most and easy to use. 10/10 recommend.

Good all around microwave
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have only had this microwave for a month, but so far I like it a lot, & it's working well. I decided to buy this GE oven because my last one was a GE & it lasted 29 years! If I get half that life out of this one I will be happy. • The panel & controls on this one are very similar to the old one, except it's much more attractive. The controls are straightforward and easy to use. • The interior cubic feet total is a little bigger than the old one, & yet it takes up several inches less counter space which I like. • It's fairly quiet compared to the old one. • At 1150 watts it's very powerful and heats a lot quicker than my old 900 watt microwave. I have to be judicious with the timing and power levels. • My only complaint is that the door has to be pushed hard to close, and it makes a hard metal banging sound. That's why I gave it only 4 stars on Quality, but overall I gave it 5 stars. • Overall I am glad I bought this particular microwave. It seems to be a good value for the money. • Also I had a good experience purchasing this product at Best Buy. The sales representative was very knowledgeable and helpful in ordering the product since it wasn't available in the store. He also checked the area for a lower price on this item, and matched that price, which is a Best Buy policy. It was shipped to my house in a couple days.
