Customer Ratings & Reviews

I replaced the old one with the exact same model and it seems more cheeply made, thinner plastic and slower to respond to keypad touches. Otherwise it seems to work well.

Operation is very quiet, food heats up quickly, installation was reasonable for a DIY individual. Installation was probably about a 6/10 in scale of difficulty. If you've hung a shelf, you can install this microwave. (1) Locate/trace Studs (2) Drill bracket Holes & screw in the bracket. (3) Prepare the microwave ventilation (4) Cut the template for your cabinet style (5) Cut out the cabinet holes for the screws & power cord (6) place microwave on bracket and insert screws through cabinet base to hold microwave in place. (7) plug in microwave (8) make popcorn The most intensive part of this whole installation process was changing the outlet above the range from a cap to an actual outlet. If you're only one person getting this thing into place, use a sterlite/rubbermaid to get it close to the height and then its much easier. I did this since my wife is pregnant. You can do it. Especially consider this if you've already got a stove in place.

The GE over the range microwave was a great replacement for our old microwave that died after 20 years. It was a great price and was very easy to install using the included templates and mounting hardware. My only complaint is that the popcorn setting does not fully cook a bag of popcorn. I have to add another minute and wait for the popping to stop at about 45 seconds. All other functions are great.

Did the job at a greta and affordable price. The brand itself is well established and for good reason this microwave looks greta without breaking the budget fir the kitchen remodel.

Item works for are needs. Item was easy to install this was a replacement buy.

Picked up this model because of the mounting brackets (had the same model before and didn't want to redo the installation, just remove and replace). Overall, previous unit lasted 4 years and 2 month, then died by blowing the fuse first randomly, then consistent. If this one will last the same (4+ years I will be happy). the only difference is - this model came with the white color digits, not the green one like my last model and the picture on the site, not a big deal for me, but can make some folks unhappy. Based on the price/value - this is a good choice.

We purchase his model when our previous GE Spacemaker XL1400 started dying. The color, features, and size were identical that it made the ideal replacement. We installed the microwave ourselves, and while we couldn't use the previous microwave's anchor points, the template made it quite easy to create new ones to secure it to the wall and the cabinets above. I was also able to replace it same day, thanks to ordering it online and picking it up in-store. I even saved some money by applying Best Buy rewards that I had earned from other purchases.

Good price for this microwave. Was easy to replace existing as brackets were in place from the old one. However had BB do the install. The buttons seem in odd places on the right meaning not where I'd expect to find them - ie. the light is mixed in with the other buttons where you'd think it would be lower or separate. The under the micro light bulbs - one side burns out every few months - meaning it must be a bad circuit to keep blowing light bulbs where the other lasts very long time - haven't had to replace it. Gave it 4 stars as the price helped.

Great product and easy to install worth the price paid

Nice looking, works great, good price! Was easy to install

This is the 2nd time we have bought this GE Microwave; we just replaced the old with the same model. Our last microwave lasted 5 years with heavy every day usage. While I wish it lasted longer, 5 years is about an average life span of a heavily used microwave. It looks very nice (stainless steel), easy to use and heats up food pretty quickly. We bought the same microwave again because it was on super sale and installing it would be easier as it’s the same specs. We’ve been switching out our initial LG Appliances with GE and have been happy with GE.

Great unit this is my swcond one first was so great i replaced it with the same one. Very user friendly. Easy to install.

Replaced a LG that had a broken door. Was only $50 to replace the entire oven so here we are. This one used all the same mounting points so it was a drop in replacement. Even the fan was installed from the factory for recirculating mode. The old one was out and this one was in <30 minutes. As far as operation goes, all good. I like that many of the numbers are quick start buttons as my family often just throws something in and hit 1 or 2 to warm stuff up. Overall a good buy and recommended.

Love the ease of use of this microwave. The timer, the light, and exhaust fan is grreat!

We bought this microwave on May 26, 2020 to replace a similar GE unit that failed after 4 years (magnetron went out and repair was more than purchase). We chose the new similar model to match other GE appliances finish and because the measurements were same as prior unit and made installation easy (no change in support bracket and holes in cupboard for bolts was required). Best Buy had a sale for $195 ( $100 off). Best Buy provided contactless purchase to ease concern of coming in store due to coronavirus. We hope to get better life out of this unit.

Product ok. Paid plenty for installation at my rental. At time of delivery/install I answered a call saying new holes (2?) needed drilled. Another $90 needed to do it. Aargh! Paid by C/C on phone. Feels like I was extorted. Be well. OUT.

So far, good! no complaints ____------------------

This microwave has met my expectations so far after about a month of use. Installation was about moderate difficulty - for my application, I had to change the fan orientation, which was not terribly difficult. Installing the bracket to hang the microwave was easy, but the template for where to cut holes in the cabinet above was downright frustrating. I would recommend simply measuring reference distances and marking where to cut and drill. I wasted about 45 minutes here that could have been saved. During my installation, I had a bolt that was not threaded correctly and would not seat into the microwave from the cabinet above. A quick call to GE had a kind service representative sending a replacement my way. The part arrived within a week. Overall, the install took about 3 hours. The microwave itself works great now that it is installed. Noise during use is relatively low, the surface light is bright, and the cooking options are varied enough to be useful. Power is adequate, so food comes out hot without enormous cook times. My one real complaint is the exhaust fan. It just does not pull enough air from above the range. I also feel that vent intakes are too far to the back of the range to be at all effective for a pan that is steaming on a front burner. This seems to be a common issue for most newer microwaves, as I have seen the same thing at friends' houses as well. All in all, I am pleased with this microwave for the sale price that I paid.

Perfect fit over my cooking range!! Slick look and works great! Easy to use and good number display making it easier for seniors too!!

Bought as a replacement for the same model. Mounting bracket is different. Did not have to remove old bracket. Two center tabs on old bracket but no center slots on microwave. Bending the two center tabs allowed microwave to securely mount without replacing bracket. Had 3 cabinet screws on old one but only 2 on new one. Required drilling of 1 new hole to mount under cabinet.Appears to have a better exhaust fan. Light is brighter on high but is basically a nightlight on low. Clock is brighter than old one. Controls function the same.
