    I have only had this microwave a few weeks, but thus far I have really enjoyed this microwave. Great heat for cook time and overall easy to use. It is the perfect size and it looks great in my kitchen above the store. I really enjoy the two light settings under the microwave/above the stove and the vent settings are good and strong.

    I've been using my new microwave for about a month now. It was fairly easy to install and looks good in my kitchen. It's easy to use and so far works like you'd expect. My only negative is the clock isn't easy to see especially from a distance. The digits are close together so they blend into each other.

    Works perfect. Bought it because our last one (same model) just gave out and also the handle just broke on it. This newer one has a different handle and is very very quiet.

    a solid choice for a basic, no-frills microwave

    We are replacing an older model of this same microwave by GE. It is their basic, no-frills model, which is just what we wanted. The mounting brackets for this newer model were slightly different so the replacement was little more complicated than we originally expected. We are happy with it so far.

    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.

    This was purchased as a replacement for a 12 year old, top-line KitchenAid over-the-range microwave. It was easy to install myself, priced right and had attractive looks that complemented the rest of the KitchenAid and Bosch appliances. Most impressed with the quietness of the unit. Great basic unit with the key features that does all a microwave should.

    This is a very capable microwave. It has many of the advanced features of more expensive models in a compact and powerful case. It is sleek, modern and simple yet precise in its design. At ghis price range, no need to look elsewhere. Use it every day and it never fails.

    We like it because it is similar to the one we already had and knew that the holes to secure the oven would be easier for us to install. What I don't like is that fact that when reheating small items for 30 seconds the item ends up too far in the back of the oven when it is done, like coffee. There are some ovens that always end up close to the front no matter how long/short it is microwaved. For the price it was good.

    Basic, but does the job well

    This model isn't fancy, but it includes the most-used features such as a revolving turntable, vent fan, and light, all at an affordable price. At 1.6 cu. ft., it's or the smaller side, but adequate for most tasks unless you do a lot of heavy cooking by microwave. It does everything I ask it to do, and being smaller than the 1.9 cu. ft. GE Profile model that it replaced, it doesn't crowd the cooking surface of the range underneath.

    Easy to install and performs all the basic functions with ease. There is an option to reheat a dinner plate, but, unlike all the other similar quick options, this one doesn't allow you to specify a quantity like: 2. A minor quibble. It is fairly quiet and looks very nice and neat with an easy to read and use control panel.

    OK for the Price and Does the Job

    The microwave does the job and operates well. It is not easy to use and the design is clunky. I first notice the time display is hard to read because the light behind the : in between the numbers is so bright the numbers are hard to see. The touch screen requires a hard press to enter the selection. For people who are not strong or who have hand pain this is difficult. The sound when opening and closing the door is loud. I needed to stay with this color and now wish I had spent more. It is OK for the price and does the job.

    Simple, clean exterior design. Functions well and haven't been disappointed with its performance. Very quiet when operating!...wasn't even sure it was running. Only thing is the door takes a pretty good tug to open and the control buttons take a good push - both may be due to it being brand new and perhaps stiff.

    Once my son ran my microwave for 1 hour on a holiday weekend as a timer, we had no microwave. We found this on the website and went on our roadtrip through a storm. We arrived and they only had one left! We had a nice sales person retrieve our prize and head home without any issue, it seemed too easy. Once we got home it fit perfectly! Ever since me and boy boy smile every time we use it, thinking back to that stormy weekend and this microwave saved the holiday!

    Consumer reports rated near the top

    I don't "trust" consumer reports for everything. I remember one time they down rated a great motorcycle (I liked and bought) because they tested it and found the flip up gas cap popped up after a crash. What about the positive weighting of great handling, rocket ship acceleration, great hardware etc. The GE 3160 microwave tested well. However, I have found these inexpensive microwaves have small power supplies that tend to burn out more easily. Look at the more expensive computers and you will see nice heavy duty power supplies compared to the budget computers. The average life of microwaves is around 9 years and I will be happy if I get that lifespan from this inexpensive unit. The big issue with this microwave is the flimsy door and chassis. The door is not rigid and the closure is locked via 2 fragile plastic clips. Others have complained about this and once one of the clips cracks it is all over. SOLUTION: Do not slam the door. When you close the door bring so so gently. In one motion close the door up to the 2 holes that lock the 2 door door clips without closing the door all the way. Be sure the 2 male clips are aligned into the openings, then GENTLY push the door home so the clips lock in place. Lotsa luck and hope this helps you.

    Minor differences from older model

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

    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.
