    Bought this to replace a 20 yr old large size counter-top GE microwave. Chose GE's mid-size microwave which is urprisingly designed very similarly to my old one. However, the "build" is not as substantial as my old one. This one does have slightly more power and the mid-size works perfectly for my needs. Although the unit was delivered very well factory-packagaged, the small ring that goes under the round glass arrived broken. I was able to glue it together before using the microwave and after a month's use, there's been no problem. I'm satisfied with this GE mid-size microwave primarily because of good size, has 1 thru 6 minute instant-on buttons as well as 30 second button, power, and price.

    This GE 1.6 Cu Ft microwave is the perfect size and power. It matches my other GE Profile appliances just fine without the higher price of the actual GE Profile microwave. Best Buy offered a great price and made the purchase quite simple.

    This microwave is the perfect size for my countertop. It's powerful for it's size and cooks very fast. It was a good value and I'm glad that I bought to replace my old, worn out one, which was very big and under-powered.

    This is a very nice microwave. It is powerful and simple to use. It is a good value for the money and spacious for your food. The only issue I have with the microwave is that I am unable to silent the beeping when pushing the buttons or when it stops cooking.

    This is a solid microwave that had easy to navigate buttons and has simple instructions. There are good presets and instructions are simple. The only thing to keep in mind is that after the timer or food is done you have to hit the unlock button before pressing the open door.

    So far I am pleased with this model of microwave. The past 2 years I had to return 3 because the turntable motor kept burning out. They apparently did some upgrades and this one seems to be working great.

    I bought this to replace an older model of the exact same microwave. Everything is perfect except they made a "safety" change that now you can't just open the door after its done cooing without hitting the cancel/off button. This is very annoying. Other than that is it the right size and easy to use.

    GE 1.6Cu.Ft. Countertop Microwave-a fine purchase

    This microwave puts out more energy than my last one and is surprisingly efficient for its size. I can now use my slightly oversized square dinner plates to reheat food. I like the 30 second mode for heating half & half for my morning coffee when I use it for 20 seconds. There is a learning curve to use the options which I have not mastered yet. I mostly defrost, boil water& re-heat, but do not cook more elaborate meals. Yes, I recommend this microwave for its efficiency and price.
