    Our original GE kicked the bucket and we were in a pinch. This model was smaller than our original, but it surely packs a punch. Its handled everything we have needed and we haven't missed our larger model at all.

    Works excellent. I would definitely recommend this microwave to others, but tell them not to use the preset popcorn setting and just put 1 min 30 sec to have a fully popped bag.

    We purchased this microwave to replace a vey similar Frigidaire microwave that started sparking inside. The only challenge we've had is getting use to the Start/Cancel button on the opposite side. Ha!
