    This was almost exactly like the old model GE I had. That made the installation a breeze! I hope GE keeps making this model.

    GE - 1.6 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave - Stainless Steel works great, profile is small but of good size, vent vacuum and lighting options work great. Food does not get overheated like other microwaves I've used in the past. Definitely recommend this product.

    This is very similar to the previous microwave we had. The biggest difference is in the interior size. The rotate control can be turned off to accommodate larger items. The only thing I don't like about it is the controls need to be easier to read for those of us with compromised vision. A little more paint to brighten them up would be Great and the light control should be on the bottom row so it is the first thing to press.

    GE Over FRange Microwave a Disappointment

    This was a replacement for a unit damaged in a power surge. We thought it would be an upgrade but turned out to be a disappointment. Controls were changed and were less intuitive. Door closes with a clunk rather than smoothly. There is only one under unit light over the range. It appears to be an older unit from storage thsn s new one.

    Very Nice Microwave

    We bought this to replace an older GE over the cooktop that had finally died. Got the one that had been opened, but was rated excellent. And it was. Looks lke brand new to us. Very happy Only complaint would be that GE changed the back plate that it mounts on for who know what reason, as well as the screw holes that go thru the cabinet above it. Made for extra work at installation, and cannot imagine why they would do that. But anyway, it was in great condition and is working just fine. I wouldn't hesitate to get anything at Best Buy that is Open Box Excellent. Saved significant money and it looks and works like brand new

    We replaced an HotPoint microwave with this GE model and very impressed. Installation was easy and the controls are self explanatory. It is well worth the money.

    I purchased this to replace a broken microwave. It came with the back plate which makes the install easy, and also hold it in place. It came with almost everything needed. The only thing I needed to get extra was a tape to stick the exhaust to the existing exhaust outlet.

    It's nice. It has most of the features I wanted but missed a few. The door, at times, doesn't close all the way. But I would repurchase it if I had to.

    I have been aware of GE Over Range Microwaves for many years. They are dependable and easy to use and out of the way. Clears up a lot of Counter space. One thing that I would like to see in the newer GE Microwaves is to have a beeper Mute button.

    This is a replacement for my 15+ years over the range GE microwave, the newer version has some nice upgrades. In my opinion a good value for a fair cost.

    We are super happy with this microwave. We installed it ourselves, and it was moderately difficult. The hardest part was marking the drill holes with the template. I had to cut the edges off the template to make it more accurate lining it up against the bottom of the cabinet to drill holes. We also had to take out the fan unit and put it back into the cabinet facing forward to vent it forward through the carbon filter. It comes in the box ready for venting up into a duct, but we don't have a duct. It was really hard to remove the plastic piece at the front and install the carbon filter. I can't imagine how I'll do that again to replace the filter with it up on the wall. Otherwise it works great and looks really good.
