    I purchased this item from Best Buy less than a month ago and this morning, the heating element burnt out and stopped working. Horrendous customer service from Best Buy as they said it was outside of the 15-day return window and my only chance to get my money back was to call GE. I will no longer buy GE microwaves but more importantly, I no longer will buy appliances from Best Buy.

    Besides Unnecessary Lock Feature, Microwave Works

    The microwave has worked great so far. I don't give it 5 starts because it has this weird feature in which the door locks after the cycle has finished so you have to click stop in order to unlock it. This is not a very intuitive step and since I have it in my short term rental unit, I feel like people are going to end up breaking it for a feature that is unnecessary.

    Comparing to what we have had in the past which was a Panasonic 2.2 Cu. FT..... The settings are difficult as in multiple steps to cook at a lower heat. The defrost actually cooks the food on outer edges before fully thawing. It is an okay microwave for the price.

      We'd like to help out with the controls and offer tips for defrosting. We recommend checking out page 11 and 12. These sections go over how to use the defrost and additional tips for getting better results. It also goes over some of the controls an additional settings. You can view the manual by clicking on "Features", then scrolling down the page, then clicking on the link under "User Manual". GE_Appliances
