    We recently redid our kitchen..ditched the over-range microwave for a pretty vent hood...so needed a cabinet version..this GE one is great!.. fits the under counter cabinet, nice and sturdy, lots of room inside. Only negative is it’s a little difficult to see the numbers on the touch pad..but overall I’m very happy with this choice!

    This microwave is great, but I will say the only issue is that shortly after a few uses the plastic covering on the buttons started to bubble up. Other than that it is a large and efficient microwave.

    I bought this microwave two weeks ago (4/22/22) after our other one gave it up after 9 years of heavy use. Couldn't find one exactly like the one we had but this one was close enough for the size and wattage needed. In the first week of use, I'm finding the touch pad can go wonky on me out of the blue. I push the Cook Time, then set my time, then set my power to 9, then Start and I get a prompt for "Food". I'm not defrosting something. I don't need to designate a food type. I just want to control the time and power myself. This has happened randomly in the last two weeks. If I can't get it to work, reset, unplug it, replug in, then I fall back on the "Express Cook", pick one minute, power down to 9 and Start it, then cancel when I need to if I don't want the full minute. When I try to go back using "Cook Time" sequence, it will work again. So, I'm on the fence about returning it for another one. We'll see how it goes.

    • Brand response from GE Answers
      Posted .

      Hello- Congratulations on your new microwave. We appreciate your loyalty to our brand and hope you get many years out of this new model. This microwave does have a built-in 5-minute internal timer as a safety feature preventing the microwave from cooking without food inside, since doing so can cause the unit to overheat. If food is placed in the before selecting a cooking sequence, opening and closing the door activates the switch, initiating the 5-minute internal timer. The door latch switch must be opened and closed before hitting “START,” which signals the unit that food has been placed inside. The "FOOD" or "Insert Food" message on the display means the microwave thinks food has not been added yet. To correct the issue, open and close the door again and press “START.” We hope this is helpful. I you have any questions, please let us know. We are here to help! Have a good weekend!

    This GE microwave is the best microwave I have ever owed. It is very quiet and cooks exactly as expected. Does even more than I thought. Love the express buttons. I have even used the potatoe button. It was a great buy and a really good price. I would highly recommend it.

    We bought this microwave to replace one that was 12+ years old. It's a great one, and works very well. My only gripe about it is that the door doesn't always stay open when you open it, but that may be my less-than-level countertops and not the fault of GE.

    My first purchase of this item showed dent damage right out of the box but I called Best Buy and they said to bring it back and pick up another. We open the replacement right there in the store and all was in order. I've used it at least once a day since I got it home and I'll tell you, I'm impressed. This is performing exactly like I want it to and I covered it with the extended warranty

    Nice looking microwave and user friendly but within 2 weeks of use it started marking Arcing sounds from behind the control panel. May have just got hold of a bad one.....but I returned it for another brand just to be safe. The price was reasonable but maybe... you just get what you pay for.
