Easy to use nice and sturdy. Great price. The numbers on the microwave are easy to see. I didn't have to read the directions, as everything was self explanatory.

I purchased this microwave to replace the GE we had for 14 years. Unfortunately, I had to return 2 of them for being defective, and after 2 months, I’ve found this third one is also defective. The first one’s motor went out and door locked within a week of use. The second one got louder and louder to the point of us being afraid to use it. This third one has a broken seal in the door, which we didnt kniw until we heated up a beverage and moisture showed up between the glass/plastic of the door’s window. This makes me concerned about the health effects from standing near it while in use. GE used to sell reliable products. I don’t know if they cut back too much on quality parts, or not hiring the right people as engineers, quality control testers, etc. but it would be nice if they went back to making top quality products that lasted.
We're sorry to hear that you're not having the best experience with this model and had to return them. We would like to gather some additional details about this matter. Please PM/DM us on Facebook/Instagram/X with a copy of your review, any case numbers you may have, and the complete model/serial numbers of your microwave so we can further investigate. -Don@GEAppliances

Got this for my parents for Christmas. It blew up on January 14th. They loved it before that happened. They said it was so easy to use and cooked really well…until
It didn’t. It blew the breaker and wouldn’t cook anymore.
We'd like to assist with your parent's microwave going out. Please call 1-833-426-3393 to initiate a warranty claim.

It does its job. Multiple buttons for quick heating. ie: reheat an item or bring a hot beverage back up to temperature in 1 button; cook for up to 6 minutes with 1 button. Heats very quickly. Only small negative, while it fits tall items, it's narrower than my previous 1.6 CuFt microwave. And, got a good price as Best Buy had it as an open box sale.

This is a very nice microwave. The size is perfect; and once I mastered all of the features it has become dependable for all of my needs! It is very thorough in heating up meals.

Wonderful. The 1150 watts was better than old Panasonic 1150 watt. I didn't realize the old one had lost power until I got the new one which makes it faster to accomplish the same thing.
