    My new Whirlpool Microwave is a perfect fit! It was installed at delivery time above my new Whirlpool Gas Range. It sits securely above my range. It is extremely easy to use & easy to keep clean.

    Replaced an older GE OTR microwave. This one fit right in no problems. So far seams to work well. Only thing is I wish the settings panel was lighted up so they can be seen better in a dim lit room.

    Exactly what I was looking for. This white GE microwave over the range oven was replacing my 19 year old similar GE microwave oven. It fit my existing bracket so I didn't have to drill any holes. Easy installation and great value! Delivery was as promised.

    Excellent price, it mounted perfectly where the old one was. It doesn’t have a lot of unnecessary bells and whistles that most modern microwaves suffer from.

    Bought this to replace an older GE unit. The older unit was in black in there’s new unit is in stainless steel to match our other appliances. It also has a few new features such as being able to turn down the power setting as well as freeze the turntable inside the microwave. This unit looks really nice after install which was very professionally done. Nice unit at a nice price.

  • Good replacement for 25 year old unit

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Way better than the 25 year old one it replaced that had its keypad string to not register anymore. Same height/depth/width but now has a turntable and much taller opening. Took about 3 hours to install mostly due to complete custom cabinetry instead of standard, plus alignment to roof mounted ducting. Unlike older units from 10+ years ago it doesn't have a solid back plate to mount to. It only is a thin strip to hold the very bottom in place. The additional support must come through the cabinets above it. It was configured for vertical external venting by default, so others wanting to vent inside would have to turn the motor/install the included vent deflection plate. Bright white but not overly large display is more visible than a green or blue monochrome LED like many have.
