    Microwave works as expected. It cooks well and reheats perfectly. Popcorn pops and has very few in popped cornels.

    Had to return the first one due to a noisy fan on day 1. Second one is good. Just an average microwave. It could have a better light and the option to turn the sound off at the end of cooking. Keypad is hard to see. Over all it cooks well.

    This small microwave crackles and pops as it heats. My previous microwave was a GE Profile. It was good. Cooked potatoes perfectly, as if by magic. You just hit the potato button. This one doesn't do potatoes well at all. I regret the purchase, but I know the seller, Best Buy, has a very short return policy. I didn't want to be stuck without a microwave, so I'm stuck with this microwave. GE just has built-in obsolescence it appears. Too bad! The old one just went out, and it was only about 5 yrs old, I think.

    This microwave lasted exactly 15 months. It just decided to stop working w/o warning. It was good, until it wasn't. I would actually recommend not purchasing this item unless you want to replace it once a year.
