Customer Ratings & Reviews

Replaced GE 1.6 that was 20 years old. Simple install but the holes have changed for the cabinet mount but all in all very simple. The light and vent are improvements and the power is terrific. Only downside is the lack of an illuminated control panel If you’re a late night snacker, you’ll have to memorize the buttons or reveal yourself in the light.

so far the microwave is working as expected am hoping it lasts longer than my last

Works well quiet and the undercounter lights are nice. Food prep is a snap easy clean and good design.

Microwave looks nice, works well, is very quiet and was easy to install.

We love this microwave. It looks sharp and works great. Very easy use and perfect size

After doing research on CR, and reviews on Best Buy, one of the reasons I purchased this product was that it claimed to have 2 lights for the stove-top (not the typical one bulb), and the online manual confirmed it was two 40-watt incandescent bulbs. However, when it was installed (same product #), I discovered that GE changed that feature to a single 30-watt halogen bulb. Was really not happy about that. But the microwave itself works fine, and other than the above, I'm happy with it. But I feel a bit bamboozled by the take-away.

The microwave is really good and very easy to use and has many options that make it convenient. It’s neat and is a perfect fit in the existing space. Price was right and the install was perfect.

Excellent microwave and was extremely easy to install. Works flawlessly. Very happy with my purchase.

This has been a great addition to our kitchen for the last 3 years! It has many good options and functions that work to their full potential.

Ive had this for two years now and it was a great buy. I ordered it online, picked up in store. I was able to install this alone but it would be better with two people. It came with a template for the wall to make it very easy. The buttons arent that easy to press. Sometimes you have to press a little hard to get the button to work. Its easy to clean too which is nice.

It was easy to install and is easy to operate. This one is the quietest microwave I have owned.

Nice, simple controls. Easy to use and looks great.

Needed to replace my over the oven microwave. Found this one on sale and in stock just what I needed. General Electric can’t go wrong.

It is a quiet unit. Looks good in the kitchen. Has a lot of features.

A good over the range microwave for the price. This is my second one ( I bought one just like this about 10 years ago) and that one performed well. Nothing will last long when your kids microwave metal, which is why I had to replace the last one. Easy to install and very easy to use.

In-store on 08/06/23, we ordered the GE 1.6 cu. ft. over-the-range stainless steel microwave. On 08/10/23, Best Buy installers came and installed the microwave, but, when we went in the kitchen to look at it (before they left), we saw that they had installed a white microwave! The installers communicated with Best Buy and verified that we ordered the stainless steel one. Since it was their error, they left the white one that they had installed, but we had to wait until 08/28/23 to get a stainless steel one installed. As for the microwave, the buttons on the white one were very hard to push. We thought it might be a fluke, but the buttons on the stainless steel one are also extremely difficult to push, even after 3 months of use. Also, the "Timer" button and the "Cook Time" button are right beside each other (the "Cook Time" button is right above the "Timer" button). That is extremely annoying, as we all routinely accidentally hit the "Timer" button when intending to hit the "Cook Time" button. Then, it is difficult to get it cleared and hit the right button. Also, if you heat something and the cycle completes but you don't remove the food, you can't add more time or start heating again unless you open the door (somehow the microwave "believes" the microwave is empty, even though the food you originally put in the microwave is still in it!). That is also rather annoying. The clear glass plate (that you put the food on to heat) is smaller than in our old microwave- even though the interior of the microwaves seems to be the same size. The bottom of the microwave isn't flat, but, instead, has some indentations on the bottom sides, which I find makes it difficult to clean (you can't easily just wipe out the bottom; crumbs or whatever get down in the indentations and it's harder to wipe those out, since the space is lower than the rest of the microwave). As for cooking/reheating food... it's a microwave. Nothing unusual/different about it. Overall, we like it fine, though I do really wish it didn't have the issues described above (buttons hard to push; indentations in the microwave 'floor' that gather crumbs, etc.)

No problems with my new GE microwave. It has everything I need and the price was decent. Love all the features. I am still getting used to the keypad. But, I have no real complaints. So far, so good. Special thanks to the installation team!

Nice microwave and fan for the price. Many features. Easy to install.

Replaced similar model that reached the end of its useful life after 11 years. Has many very useful features, good look, and quiet operation. However, Best Buy was not able to execute standard free-of-charge installation. Because the unit required a tool and skills that Best Buy does not equip its installers to have, I had to hire a local crew from Bally, PA.

best microwave for the price. replaced my old one. easy to install
