Good so far
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this to replace a 6 year old LG. I wish the button lit up and I do not like that I have to press "time cook" before I enter a time.
I would recommend this to a friendWorks well

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've never had a microwave last such a short time, but this one stopped working 1.5 years after purchase with very light use (single person who travels half the time). Disappointing.

||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It worked how it’s supposed to work.. but died after about 16-18 months after purchase. I’m pretty sure it’s not supposed to die after this little time..

No, I would not recommend this to a friendWas Returned
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a replacement for a larger GE 2.2 that died after about ten years. The light inside is so dim on this one that I returned it and got another 2.2. It seems like a strange criticism but apparently I check things often as they're cooking.

I would recommend this to a friendNice microwave for the money
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this to replace a 2 year old Whirlpool microwave (which was our 2nd one in less than 8 years). Figured we needed to switch brands after our bad luck. This GE looks good in our kitchen, has tons of power and the features we actually use.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Microwave replaced a 10 yr old similar GE microwave.

I would recommend this to a friendExactly what we needed
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's big on the countertop so make sure you measure beforehand, but it is the right capacity for cooking anything we need to fit in there. We have had it for a month and no problems. Really easy to operate!
