Customer Ratings & Reviews

This microwave puts out more energy than my last one and is surprisingly efficient for its size. I can now use my slightly oversized square dinner plates to reheat food. I like the 30 second mode for heating half & half for my morning coffee when I use it for 20 seconds. There is a learning curve to use the options which I have not mastered yet. I mostly defrost, boil water& re-heat, but do not cook more elaborate meals. Yes, I recommend this microwave for its efficiency and price.

The microwave is performing perfectly! It has heated everything! We did put a none skid mat under the legs to pervent sliding on the counter. The price was right too!

We were limited to a specific smaller size and the GE 1.6 cu ft model met all of our requirements. We have been very satisfied with the unit's operation and cooking abilities.

We had one over the stove for years and I never did like it. We did a slight remodel and switched to a counter top model and this one worked out perfectly. It is big enough for my leftover plates and has the power to cook those big dishes

I purchased this microwave to replace the GE we had for 14 years. Unfortunately, I had to return 2 of them for being defective, and after 2 months, I’ve found this third one is also defective. The first one’s motor went out and door locked within a week of use. The second one got louder and louder to the point of us being afraid to use it. This third one has a broken seal in the door, which we didnt kniw until we heated up a beverage and moisture showed up between the glass/plastic of the door’s window. This makes me concerned about the health effects from standing near it while in use. GE used to sell reliable products. I don’t know if they cut back too much on quality parts, or not hiring the right people as engineers, quality control testers, etc. but it would be nice if they went back to making top quality products that lasted.

It works great and I am so glad I purchased it. It is not right that I should make sue I type 50 characters to submit my review

So far, very good. I mainly use settings manually (I figure out time and power levels for my items) and don't use presets--I'm glad that there are only 6 sensor settings and a pizza one whereas some microwaves have too many for my needs. Because I had a very old GE that lasted a very long time and had become less efficient, I'm delighted with the speed and efficiency of this one!

Nice sized microwave . Not too small and not too large. We needed a microwave for the office as our previous GE took ten years of abuse before it finally quit. This unit works nicely and has child locks as well

It does its job. Multiple buttons for quick heating. ie: reheat an item or bring a hot beverage back up to temperature in 1 button; cook for up to 6 minutes with 1 button. Heats very quickly. Only small negative, while it fits tall items, it's narrower than my previous 1.6 CuFt microwave. And, got a good price as Best Buy had it as an open box sale.

1.6 cu ft microwave heats food quickly and evenly with plenty of space for large plates. However, the door feels a bit flimsy and the fan is louder than expected during use.

Works well, fit nicely into space. Like the fact that it continues to beep when food is done, unlike some of them.

The product works better than expected. Was surprised the product worked so well for the price I paid for it.

Size is good for an over the stove space. (but made for counter) A bit more powerful than the one I had previously. Still getting used to where all the buttons are from previous microwave but I can’t complain… I love it

A great microwave. Sleek design and look. It heats up food fast. Easy to use, control panel is also easy to use.

Works great + fit perfect little coutner between fridge & oven . But NOT Small clock words etc on keys AND why ? 30 seconds button Not at bottom of panel with start/ stop

The microwave has worked great so far. I don't give it 5 starts because it has this weird feature in which the door locks after the cycle has finished so you have to click stop in order to unlock it. This is not a very intuitive step and since I have it in my short term rental unit, I feel like people are going to end up breaking it for a feature that is unnecessary.

Lots of space inside. Cooks fine. a little noisy but not too bad

Bought this to replace a 20 yr old large size counter-top GE microwave. Chose GE's mid-size microwave which is urprisingly designed very similarly to my old one. However, the "build" is not as substantial as my old one. This one does have slightly more power and the mid-size works perfectly for my needs. Although the unit was delivered very well factory-packagaged, the small ring that goes under the round glass arrived broken. I was able to glue it together before using the microwave and after a month's use, there's been no problem. I'm satisfied with this GE mid-size microwave primarily because of good size, has 1 thru 6 minute instant-on buttons as well as 30 second button, power, and price.

I purchased this item from Best Buy less than a month ago and this morning, the heating element burnt out and stopped working. Horrendous customer service from Best Buy as they said it was outside of the 15-day return window and my only chance to get my money back was to call GE. I will no longer buy GE microwaves but more importantly, I no longer will buy appliances from Best Buy.

Inexpensive and functional. The door can't be opened after use, unless you touch the unlock button. Kind of annoying. This is one of a couple ovens that would fit in my microwave space, and that is why I purchased it.
