No complaints. Works great. Powerful and accommodating for entire plates or containers of restaurant leftovers. Looks good with both my stainless and black appliances. Door lock feature is nice to keep the kids from grabbing hot items from the microwave.

Just got this yesterday. So far only complaint is the feet are very cheap and hard plastic. They allow the microwave to slide very easy all over the counter. To me it’s a big deal, as you cannot even push the door button unless it is pushed up against the wall to keep it from sliding. Thankfully I was able to 3D print some soft griping replacement feet (TPU) that firmly hold it in place on the counter now.

Works amazing, reheats up food instantly. Quiet, efficient, and powerful! Does not get stains quickly on the outside and very easy to clean on the inside. Also has a locking method so if it’s in a place where little kids can access/reach they can’t open it until it’s unlocked. Instruction manual explains everything this microwave is equipped with
Condensation inside your microwave, or on or around the outside of the microwave door is normal when cooking certain foods; it's especially prevalent when cooking foods with a high moisture content for an extended period of time. If minimal moisture is noticed between the glass of the door, allow the door to remain open for approximately fifteen minutes to accelerate the dissipation of the moisture. If the moisture does not evaporate in a reasonable amount of time, we recommend recommend taking advantage of the one year limited by calling us at: 1-800-432-2737. -Don@GEAppliances

Good sized microwave that looks pretty good, is fairly quiet and powerful with over 1000 watts. Fairly new purchase but in the future a back-lit keypad would be very helpful. If microwave in a darker location it's difficult to read the display. Also makes a beeping noise like it's finished when you open the door mid-cycle

Microwave is fine enough, but this was "open box excellent" and is banged up something fierce. Best buy wouldn't do anything about it and gave me the option to ship it back or keep it. Closest drop off location for return was 55 miles away. Lame.

This microwave works perfectly and meets all my expectations. It heats food quickly and evenly, and it’s very easy to use. The design is modern, and the size is ideal for daily home use. It’s also quiet and energy-efficient. Overall, it offers great value for the price, and I highly recommend it.

This is a great little microwave! Has enough power watts, is compact and has nice features. The only thing i would add is a handle. I noticed a handle helps close/open the door easier and quieter.
Overall: nice little countertop microwave. Would purchase again.

My previous microwave died. This is a item I wanted to see in person. I went to 5 stores and was surprised to find they either only have small cheap ones on display or they don't much to look at. I have specific ekxternal dimensions I need to meet. This one met my needs and has been great.

Size is good for an over the stove space. (but made for counter) A bit more powerful than the one I had previously. Still getting used to where all the buttons are from previous microwave but I can’t complain… I love it

GE Microwave 1.6 cf This unit has worked really well for 4 months. A know issue was fogg when cooking over couple minutes, not a deal killer for us. The carousel stopped rotating... we'll return.

The GE 1.6 cu. ft. countertop microwave works great for everyday use. It heats evenly, has plenty of space, and the controls are simple and intuitive. It runs quietly and is easy to clean—overall a dependable, no‑frills appliance that does its job well.
