Great microwave for the price!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I ordered this for my new home to match my other GE appliances. It looks great and is large enough for all of my needs - and at a great price. I use it mainly for heating up leftovers. The shortcut buttons (30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, etc.), are really nice.

Work good for the money.
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.About average as far as microwaves go. Does a great job, easy to use, a little louder than I would prefer.

Good Microwave
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This replaced a relatively new LG microwave that died after 14 months. It is easier to use. Has a keypad that allows the user to input cooking time and other options. Seems to be user friendly. Too early to comment on its longevity.

nice microwave
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This microwave does a quick job of heating your food. More power than most other microwaves in this price range. Works as it should.
I would recommend this to a friend OK microwave
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been using my new GE 1.6 Cu Ft microwave, model JES1657SMSS for about a month now. It is very stylish. It seems to work ok, but sometimes I think it heats inconsistently. There are times when I can heat up something and it is hot and other times, I can heat up the same or similar thing and it comes out not as hot as the previous day. Also, when I push Start, the microwave hums like it is not at full power, this happens every time. I will update and let you know the lifespan of this microwave, hopefully it will last a few years.
