Why didn't I buy this sooner?
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a 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!

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.

It 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.
