    I finally replaced my old 2004 microwave with this GE Over-the-Range Microwave, and the difference is incredible! This one is fast, easy to use, and operates smoothly. The convenience cooking controls make reheating and cooking super simple, and everything heats up evenly. Installation was straightforward, and for the price, this is an excellent deal. It looks great in my kitchen and works perfectly.

    Product Great/Installation Challenging

    I had to replace an existing GE microwave. Best Buy had the best selection and value, with the added benefit that this was another GE product. I was excited as I thought the installation would be easy since it was one GE product for another. No such luck. There were MINOR differences in the brackets and the location of the mounting screws that caused me to have to drill new holes and invest more time in the installation than I felt was needed. The microwave is awesome, easy to use, nice features, and very quiet. Why the engineers at GE felt it was needed to make a replacement microwave with slight variations is beyond me.

    It is larger than my old GE microwave and it works to warm, reheat or cook exactly the way I want. The door is a little weak, thus 4 stars but overall a very good investment.

    Love the features of this over the range microwave. It is surprisingly quiet when in use. Also like the "reminder" when something has been left in the oven. Works as described, very satisfied with purchase.

    I love my new GE Microwave.It looks really nice. It is very easy to operate. The setting could be a little brighter for an older person to see. After using it for about a week, I could see the setting easier.

    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.

    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.

    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.
