    Very powerful microwave! I've had to adjust my cooking times quite a bit. As others have said, the light is dim. The clock light is a lot dimmer than my old GE and the interior light is very dim.

    The microwave works great, your curb side pickup leaves much to be desired. I waited 20 min after sending the I’m hear notice, before I walked into the store and retreaved my microwave. I won’t wait at the curb anymore I’ll walk into the store. Maybe that was your plan.

    Our new microwave is almost identical to old microwave we had. It looked like it was the same make. The only difference is the color, material and wattage. It works good and it puts out good amount of heat into the foods and liquids.

    Good product/but there is no digital lighting up of the characters in the panel for operation. This would have been a good feature to include for ease of operation. We liked it because it was very close to the old microwave that we owned.

    LOVE, my GE microwave oven. Not overwhelmed by Tech terms, buttons to push, or gadgets to add in order for the product to work. Someone designed a product using the old KISS method. IT WORKS GREAT. SORRY GEEKS.
