I would recommend this to a friend Good replacement microwave
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was an emergency replacement for our builder provided GE microwave that decided to just stop heating one fine morning. It was very close in features and dimensions to what we had, and fits perfectly. The only drawback is that you cannot mute the ready / complete beep, which means you have to stop it a few seconds short for early morning coffee and late night snacks!

Foot/Leg is not level
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I received the microwave via UPS late yesterday - opened this morning and unfortunately the left rear foot/leg is not level to the surface. It is uneven and not adjustable so have to return and order another one. Love the color and look! I will add to my review when the replacement arrives.

I would recommend this to a friend Worth it's weight
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works better than expected. Easy to keep clean, just wipe it down with a damp sponge. Have looked at other units that have the numbers fade or crack, that is not the case with this item. Well worth the money spent, anticipate several years of use of this one that replaced a 20 year old Whirlpool.

I would recommend this to a friend Don't think, just buy!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Couldn't be happier. Such a powerful microwave with tons of options. Also has a beautiful stainless finish and looks great in my new kitchen. Coming from a Sharp microwave that was a piece of garbage that couldn't do anything right except warm up a cup of water.
I would recommend this to a friendMicrowave works well and easy to use
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It works well and looks nice. I gave it 4 stars because it is difficult to press your selections; you have to press really hard. I have to use a pencil on the eraser side because I believe with continuity it will damage my fingers.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat microwave
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had a GE microwave that worked great for about 12 years. It was nearly identical to this one. So when it died, I naturally wanted to get one as much like it as I could. This one fit the bill! I use it on a daily basis and have been very happy with it so far. Hopefully, it will last as long as the other one did!

Microwave
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.works very well ... I've never had a problem with it
I would recommend this to a friend Great basic microwave
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We’ve had this for about a month and so far it’s worked well. We use it mostly to defrost and reheat items and it does its job. The only thing we don’t like much is the button display. Overall good purchase and happy with it thus far.
I would recommend this to a friendEfficient microwave, but quality is a concern.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We have used this make and minor versions of the same model for the past 16 years. The primary reason is that it has one of the largest interior cavities for its size. That said, the quality has deteriorated over time. The first two we bought each lasted ~5 years. The third one lasted 4 years, the the fourth only 2 years. If the replacement conks out in less than 4 years, I won’t buy it again.

GE Microwave
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.GE as always works as advertised. Less pricier than other equivalent Microwaves.
I would recommend this to a friend Partial stainless steel
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love GE. This was to replace an old white GE that was many years old and dead. Like the new one. Two wishes, 1 Really should have stainless steel on all sides and needs brighter lights on both keyboard, clock and inside when it is running.
