      We are so pleased to hear your new microwave is cooking well for you and you were happy with eh price point. The 30 seconds button is a consumer favorite feature because you can press it multiple times to add time. It is very convenient. If you have any questions, please reach out to us directly or refer to your owner's manual that can be found on our site. Thank you for your purchase! Joyce@GEAppliances GE_Appliances

    Wonderful. The 1150 watts was better than old Panasonic 1150 watt. I didn't realize the old one had lost power until I got the new one which makes it faster to accomplish the same thing.

    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.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
