    Good price for this microwave. Was easy to replace existing as brackets were in place from the old one. However had BB do the install. The buttons seem in odd places on the right meaning not where I'd expect to find them - ie. the light is mixed in with the other buttons where you'd think it would be lower or separate. The under the micro light bulbs - one side burns out every few months - meaning it must be a bad circuit to keep blowing light bulbs where the other lasts very long time - haven't had to replace it. Gave it 4 stars as the price helped.

    This is the 2nd time we have bought this GE Microwave; we just replaced the old with the same model. Our last microwave lasted 5 years with heavy every day usage. While I wish it lasted longer, 5 years is about an average life span of a heavily used microwave. It looks very nice (stainless steel), easy to use and heats up food pretty quickly. We bought the same microwave again because it was on super sale and installing it would be easier as it’s the same specs. We’ve been switching out our initial LG Appliances with GE and have been happy with GE.

    We bought this microwave on May 26, 2020 to replace a similar GE unit that failed after 4 years (magnetron went out and repair was more than purchase). We chose the new similar model to match other GE appliances finish and because the measurements were same as prior unit and made installation easy (no change in support bracket and holes in cupboard for bolts was required). Best Buy had a sale for $195 ( $100 off). Best Buy provided contactless purchase to ease concern of coming in store due to coronavirus. We hope to get better life out of this unit.

    Nice budget over-the-range microwave

    This microwave has met my expectations so far after about a month of use. Installation was about moderate difficulty - for my application, I had to change the fan orientation, which was not terribly difficult. Installing the bracket to hang the microwave was easy, but the template for where to cut holes in the cabinet above was downright frustrating. I would recommend simply measuring reference distances and marking where to cut and drill. I wasted about 45 minutes here that could have been saved. During my installation, I had a bolt that was not threaded correctly and would not seat into the microwave from the cabinet above. A quick call to GE had a kind service representative sending a replacement my way. The part arrived within a week. Overall, the install took about 3 hours. The microwave itself works great now that it is installed. Noise during use is relatively low, the surface light is bright, and the cooking options are varied enough to be useful. Power is adequate, so food comes out hot without enormous cook times. My one real complaint is the exhaust fan. It just does not pull enough air from above the range. I also feel that vent intakes are too far to the back of the range to be at all effective for a pan that is steaming on a front burner. This seems to be a common issue for most newer microwaves, as I have seen the same thing at friends' houses as well. All in all, I am pleased with this microwave for the sale price that I paid.

    Very pleased with the microwave. It looks nice and functions as we hoped. Worth mentioning. If your cabinets are 15" deep, you must purchase the bump-out kit sold separately. We did not know, and had to wait additional time before we could install

    Solid performer. Not a high end machine but does what I need it to do. If your looking for sensor probe cooking, or all the bells and whistles, look elsewhere. I primarily use it to reheat, warm soups, cook popcorn occasionally, ect. Was average in degree of difficulty to self install. It run about a 1/16th inch narrower than some over the stove microwaves which made it perfect for my very tight 30 inch opening. Best buy was the best price.

    The product was good - ease of operation, clarity of owner's manual, overall appearance. Some problem with the door - slightly out of alignment, which might be due to installer - me. Which leads me to the biggest problem - despite two attempts to arrange installation through Best Buy - on the website during purchase, and call to the store after purchase - I got no response. You lose installation fee Best Buy - which was quoted as $140.
