    The clock could be brighter. If I had known it was all white on the inside I may have purchased a different one.

    Overall great microwave. I love that you have to press the stop button in order for it to unlock. So even if you havent used up all the time it will clear it out for you when you unlock it.

    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 love my microwave, the inside is huge and I love that I don't have to add more time to directions when heating anything because it heats just right according to instructions.

    Pretty good microwave. Im just not a big fan of the child lock feature. You have to enter a code to take it off which is easy to forget without the instructions. Other than that it’s a very good microwave.

    This microwave has met our needs and kudos to the the bestbuy rep who explained all the product options available for purchase. However, a zero score for the woman at checkout who lacked any kind of social skills needed for minimum customer interface.

    I was happy to find this oven that fit my pre- existing space. It works perfectly fine; my only criticism is that the display is very faint and hard to see in daytime light.

    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.

    It performs well, however I believe a few changes in the design would greatly improve this appliance. It would be helpful if the front panel was lit or at least have better contrast for easy selections. The interior lighting is poor and the frame seems to be cheaply made... it seems kind of tinny. The bottom line is this microwave is much more cheaply built than the previous GE microwave that served me well for about 15 years.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    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.

    This GE countertop microwave is a solid performer. It heats food quickly and evenly, and the controls are easy to use. Sleek design fits well in any kitchen. The only downside is it’s a bit louder than expected. Still, great value for the price and very reliable overall. Would recommend!

    We were limited to a specific smaller size and the GE 1.6 cu ft model met all of our requirements. We have been very satisfied with the unit's operation and cooking abilities.

    We had one over the stove for years and I never did like it. We did a slight remodel and switched to a counter top model and this one worked out perfectly. It is big enough for my leftover plates and has the power to cook those big dishes

    So far, very good. I mainly use settings manually (I figure out time and power levels for my items) and don't use presets--I'm glad that there are only 6 sensor settings and a pizza one whereas some microwaves have too many for my needs. Because I had a very old GE that lasted a very long time and had become less efficient, I'm delighted with the speed and efficiency of this one!
