Had to return/exchange 3 defective ones
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

I would recommend this to a friendIt Does Its Job
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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

I would recommend this to a friendGood experience
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really easy to use and warms pretty quickly. Good price too
I would recommend this to a friendOkay but not the best
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Comparing to what we have had in the past which was a Panasonic 2.2 Cu. FT..... The settings are difficult as in multiple steps to cook at a lower heat. The defrost actually cooks the food on outer edges before fully thawing. It is an okay microwave for the price.

These sections go over how to use the defrost and additional tips for getting better results. It also goes over some of the controls an additional settings.
