    I had limited space in my kitchen, so I bought this. A little loud when running and not quite as powerful as I'd like but not a bad unit for the size and price.

    This replaced an older GE that was a built in that failed after 3 years. The dimensions was a match but a bit more power. It ended up being a perfect fit and the trim kit installed perfectly. Works exactly the same and hope to get another 5 years out of it.

    Great microwave but we did have to exchange it out after a couple of months when it quit working. Although, there’s a solid chance it was user error since my dad doesn’t know how to use most forms of technology.

    Microwave does what it should. Only complaint is the readout and interior lights are too dim. Ok close up, but not if your across the kitchen. This one replaced and older GE of same model. It was plenty bright.

    Hi! At this point, it is working well for the most part. Sometimes if you come back after a few minutes to start it, you need to re-open the door and make your selections. There was one other hang up, but after a reset, it worked.
