    My family and I really like this new microwave. Bought it as a replacement and wanted stainless finish. Sure glad that we found this G.E. as it fit perfect, is quiet to operate, was easy to install, and has just been a great replacement for the old one that we had.

    GE Microwave Review

    Microwave works fine. It is not quite as sturdy as the previous GE model that we had. Door sounds a little shallow when you close it, but otherwise there are no problems.

    Quiet microwave!

    We picked this one on other reviews that described this oven as "quiet." We weren't disappointed. While it is far from silent, compared to the one it replaced (which sounded like a jet engine) we are very pleased. It's also bigger inside. Installed fine though instructions were typically sparse. Happy so far with its performance. Hopefully it lives longer than it's predecessor which died after only a couple years. Controls are intuitive. Only miss having a butter melt/soften button. One thing that surprised me--the entire front is the door, not just the lower section with the handle and glass, so it feels kind of bulky when you open it. But that's not really a problem. Who knows. It might be part of why it is quieter.

    Great GE Microwave

    This GE microwave has been awesome so far. I set it up myself! It heats food evenly and way faster than my old one. The presets work really well and make it easy to warm up leftovers, defrost meat, or cook simple meals. It’s quiet, the inside is spacious, and the controls are simple to use. Installation was straightforward and it looks clean and modern in my kitchen. For the price, the quality is excellent and I’m really happy with how well it performs. Definitely recommend it.

    This is an exact match and replacement to a previous microwave. I'm so glad Best Buy had it. It's basic, easy to use, and the color matches other items in my kitchen.

    Easy install, seems reliable, nice touches

    First, I'm easy to please, and don't use the microwave for anything more complicated than heating up frozen food or boiling water. I've not tested out any of the more advanced features, and can't comment on them. I read a bunch of online reviews in making a product selection, and overall most people seemed pleased with this unit. The complaints seemed to be about minor stuff, like the button labels being hard to see in low light or the dark, which is true, but it doesn't bother me (I turn on the overhead light so I can see the buttons). I installed the unit myself, am not a pro, just a regular old DIYer. Installation was straightforward, the instructions were clear, and all the parts I needed were present. I ended up using some different lag bolts because the ones included with the install kit are not very beefy: they take a philips head, or you can use a 3/8 or 1/2 ratchet (can't remember which), and the philips receptacle on the screw stripped out quickly when applying a reasonable amount of torque. I tossed them and used the stainless lag bolts with a square head inset from the last install. The instructions seemed a little bit unclear to me about how the fan blower motor housing needs to be manipulated. The pictures are good, but I believe some of the words are in error. But if you understand what the basic premise is of what you're doing, it will work out fine. The instructions provide a drilling template for the overhead screws, and everything matched up well. The mounting plate seemed a little bit flimsy, but seems to work fine. It fit perfectly into the spot where the previous microwave went, and the microwave unit itself also fit perfectly. As far as operation goes, I found the unit to be quieter than its predecessor, and can't say if this unit is more or less quiet than other current units. It does what it is supposed to do, heat stuff up. I like the way the rotating plate sits on the spindle. It is simple and works well. I also like the generous amount of light the unit provides from the bottom of the unit to the top of the stove. The door feels solid, and the open/close internal latching mechanism also has a solid feel to it. It has been in operation now for about a month, with no hiccups or trouble. If things change, I'll update this review accordingly.

    Quiet Microwave with a Great Surface Light

    We needed to replace our old microwave and this fit the space perfectly! I really appreciate how quiet this one runs. Our previous one was only 7 years old, but it was louder. I also like that the surface light really does light up my stovetop. When I bought my previous one I was told those lights were only useful as a night light. The only thing I don't like is that the display is a white light. My refrigerator is blue and my range is green! The white, and the font look cheap in my opinion.
