    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.

    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.

    This microwave is a Consumer Reports best buy, and Best Buy had the best price. Pros: Easy to install, has all the features we needed, and looks good. Cons: none to speak of.

    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.

    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.

    Best Buy is the BEST BUY! Customer service really is customer service; I was in good hands and was HELPED from the minute I entered the store. As I entered the store I was directed to the product I was looking for and within minutes a sales person met me and assisted me with my purchase AND saved me $100.00. After my experience at Best Buy I returned my IPad at a different store and I’m now going to Best Buy for an IPad. Thank you BEST BUY,

    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.

    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.
