Great Microwave Oven
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We purchased this microwave oven about 2 weeks ago & LOVE it! It's very user friendly! We are seniors & were able to operate it perfectly without even reading all of the instructions! We love the extra 30 second button, & when you push the numbers, it automatically works for that amount of time. It's 1150 watts, too, which si wonderful!

Great for the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My microwave broke and I needed a new one. This is just a bit smaller than the LG I previously had but the size works ok for me. I was mainly looking for something affordable and this was. I like the preprogrammed buttons for popcorn, beverage, etc. Although I usually have to add the 30 seconds on both the popcorn and beverages when I heat them up. It seems a bit lighter than my previous microwave but as I said I was looking for something affordable and this fit the bill.

Nice-n-Hot, louder than expected.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this microwave to replace a Kenmore that I used for 25+ years (RIP). This seemed like the only one I could find that fit the same profile (cu-ft/width/depth). Fit my built-in, over-the-counter shelf perfectly. However, the wife and I think it seems a bit noisy compared to the old one. Not bad, though. Only time will tell if this one hold up as good as the last one!

Perfect
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We were replacing our other GE microwave which was exactly the same size, but all black. It was purchased in 1999, and still in perfect condition. We were switching to stainless in the kitchen, so gave that microwave to my daughter, and purchased this one to replace. I love it just as much. Someone earlier thought this was noises...ours is actually quieter than the previous one we owned, so I think they must have something wrong with their’s. Ours is quiet and works perfect. Based on our previous experience, it will probably outlast me :)

Panasonic Microwave - small but powerful.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is our second Panasonic Microwave of the same model. It fits in the space that we have dedicated for our unit. The first one, we used chemicals to clean it, and the paint eroded. And then rusted. We are going to use just water, and cover everything that we put in it. But it is very powerful for its size. Totally satisfied with how it operates.

2 years and it's dead
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bought this because our previous microwave that had lasted us over 15 years finally bit the dust right before Thanksgiving in 2021. So we were in a rush and bought one that was slightly bigger and supposedly better. The thing has worked great right up until it no longer works. Two days ago I started to warm up some soup and it started and would just turn off. Then it immediately it decided to toss up "FOOD" on the screen, Well after looking up the code it says to open and close the door to make sure that the code clears up because it is registering that nothing has been put inside the microwave. Then I get a "PF" code right after that when doing the trouble shooting steps and open and close the microwave and restart. Well that started a whole other aspect of troubleshooting the thing and it's probably the door switch or control panel, the power cable, or an internal fuse, our outlet (it's not that I checked that first), or our home fuse box (not that either); but most likely needs a new door switch; which may or may not fix the problem from what I have seen online; so who knows. The cost of the switch is about $100 each for us as end users and the microwave needs 2 of them. The cheap switches do not fix all the problems. Best bet for me is to toss the dang thing and go find an old 1980's microwave and I can at least fix it with a soldering iron, duct tape and a coat hanger.

Sleek for a larger capacity microwave
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s takes a bit of getting used to as the numerical keys are assigned to functions and not merely to set timer. Beware the popcorn button. It seems to be set to Orville redenbacher big bags, anything cheaper or smaller May lead to burnt popcorn. It’s easy to clean and I do love the button to open it. I recommend getting an angry momma to keep it clean. It’s really pretty when it’s clean and shiny

GE excellence
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've owned several microwave ovens over the years and know my way around an oven. Having said that, I unequivocally aver that this is one of the easiest to operate microwave ovens in the market. The quality is peerless and can stand up to the roughest use by children. Hurrah GE.
