    Really like the microwave. It works well. Just not crazy about the autosensing. The print is too small to read and if you open the door to check you gave to start over

    I like this microwave. It is more efficient than the one it replaces. However it makes a bit of noise as the heating begins and also while it ends the heating segment. The cause of the noise seems to be the plate inside the microwave as it begins and ends its rotating motion.

      Hello ChicagoJohn - We greatly appreciate the feedback on your microwave. Your comments are useful and we're always happy to hear from our owners. It is common to hear an internal fan noise when using the microwave. For a sound from the turntable, we recommend making sure it is evenly installed in the unit. Feel free to reach out with any questions. - John@GEAppliances GE_Appliances

    Very good microwave for the price. Has all the basic features/functions that a microwave needs, including the Add 30 Seconds button that every one needs. Big roomy interior and turntable with 1150 watts of power. The 4 end beeps aren’t too loud and immediately stop if you open the door before the beeps finish.
