    Works well. Love the Slate color. Wish the control panel had larger/brighter numbers. Good price. Have had GE appliances in the past and they were very dependable.

    GE 1.6 Cu. Ft. over-the-range Microwave.

    This is your typical, form and function over the range Microwave oven. As the oven seems to work properly I have two things I don't care about. One, The white LED is so bright, and I guess that's better than it being to dim, you have no problem seeing your way thru the Kitchen at night, LOL. The touch pad is far beyond TOUCH, you have to press pretty hard to get the function buttons to do anything. Now, I have arthritis but had no problem entering time and so on on my old microwave. I have to bend my finger and use my knuckle to enter anything on this panel.

    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.

    Replaced existing over the range microwave. Fits the space perfectly. Performs as expected. Handy permanent quick reference info inside the microwave for reheating items etc. Did not mention in the description the clock display was white. Stove clock display is green.

    This GE Microwave was purchased as a replacement. Best Buy offered quick delivery and installation and indeed it was. The unit is quiet and very easy to operate. There are so many features that we have not tried all of them yet however we are confident in this purchase.

    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.

    GE Changed the Lighting.

    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.

    We bought this to replace our non-functioning Kenmore. The price was right in my opinion. However, installation was a little more difficult than we thought. I'm sure there will be some know-it-all that will read this and say, "how hard could it have been?" We had to take the metal plates installed with the old microwave and drill different holes for this different model. So far, it works well. However, it has only been in use for about two months.

    Handle broke after 2 years

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

    I love the way the microwave operates, but I can’t believe the handle snapped off so soon. I’m not rough with it, and I wouldn’t even say it gets used everyday. I called for a replacement handle and they want $58! I’m not even sure if I’d be able to replace the handle without knowing how to completely disassemble the door. The screws are located INSIDE the door. To replace the whole door, it’s $148! I might as well spend $200 and buy another brand that isn’t a cheap piece of junk. There is also a crack in the plastic on the bottom of the door.Even though the model number is different, this is exactly what my microwave looks like, so I’m assuming this is the new version. My model # JVM3162RJ1SS

    When our counter top microwave failed, we wanted to replace it with an under cabinet unit. This was among the more cost effective units and it has exceeded our expectations. In addition to being easy to install and configure, we were pleasantly surprised to find how quiet it is when operating. The two brightness settings on the lights were also very helpful.
