GE what's up ?
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Seems a lot more flimsy than original model from 5 years ago
I would recommend this to a friendAvoid this microwave
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Our last GE microwave died after a few years of light service. Thinking it would be easier to install, I bought the closest model. My mistake. After 6 months of normal usage, the handle to open/close the door already is cracked! Plus, the inside of the microwave is not metal - so you can't store your microwave plate cover using magnets. We already ordered a replacement microwave oven. We hate it and regret the purchase.

No, I would not recommend this to a friendInconvenience as it’s best
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Our microwave broke the same day that we have family coming over from out of town.Went to the Best Buy in our city but they didn’t have it in stock so we have to pick it up 40 miles away. Took us 2 hrs drive round trip. We have to hire someone to install it because if Best Buy will have it delivered and installed we have to wait the following week for the item to arrive and we are hosting that weekend so we didn’t have a choice. As soon as we got home and installer has arrived, we took the unit out of the box and the item has been severely dented in the side. Installer took over 4 hours installing it because he has a hard time fitting the dented unit. We were so ready to return it and installer was giving up already but we can’t have people over the weekend with no working microwave. We ended up paying the installer almost the same price as this disappointing unit for the inconvenience and we’re stuck with a microwave that we’re hoping is not going to break anytime soon from the damage of the dent. Waste of time and money!
No, I would not recommend this to a friendAdequate at best
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you want an inexpensive microwave that works this will get the job done. Design flaws in the clock make it nearly unreadable At 5 ft and shows every finger print
No, I would not recommend this to a friendNewer is not better
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this microwave to replace the one that stopped working in my home because it was noted to be the same model number. Well that wasn't the case ... ok not that big a deal. However, this device has a lot of issues. 1. Closing the door is tough to do and its extremely loud. SLAM! Within a few weeks, the notification beeps started fluttering working/not working. Sometimes there's no beeping at all ... touching numbers, actions and at time completion. Yes it cooks food just fine ... but the fine points of personal interaction are no where near the original unit that we had to replace. I should have bought something else.

Posted .Hey there, and thanks for submitting your feedback. While we’re glad your microwave is cooking food well, we do regret there was confusion over it not being the same model number, as well as trouble with the door and notification sounds. We know those issues may have caused concern, and we regret any inconvenience you’ve experienced. We do expect that the microwave door may be harder to close and louder than a previous model; this is often due to a firmer spring in the door latch and is generally normal. We will certainly report your overall experience to our Design team for future consideration; we always want to know what our consumers think of our models, and your insights are appreciated. Regarding the notification beeps, you may want to try completely disconnecting the microwave from power for a couple minutes before reconnecting; this resets the electrical components and can often help. If you are unable to solve that issue and think service may be necessary, that department is available at 1-800-432-2737; a technician would be glad to examine the microwave. We truly appreciate you as a loyal GE consumer, and we’ll work to earn back your trust in our brand as we move forward. If you have any other concerns or questions, we are happy to offer assistance any time. -Sarah@GEA

Control panel hard to see
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Microwave works fine but the control panel buttons are very hard to see. They need to be brighter or back lit

Posted .Hi there, Reed - Thanks for posting a review on your microwave. We appreciate your suggestions for improvement with the control panel and apologize for any inconvenience. We'll be sure to share your comments with our product design team for future improvement. Thanks again for the feedback. -Mikayla@GEA
Meh
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This unit is working well units first few weeks. But it’s replacing another one that broke three times in three years. I don’t like the display, and I know that sounds ridiculous but it’s too bright. Because it’s so bright it causes the display to be a little fuzzy especially at night. So I guess we’ll try again. I got this with the intent that I would keep the old one for the parts that still work. But I’m finding it’s not the same... Yeah...

Display started flashing & loud exhaust fan
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The display started flashing 10 months after purchase but before that we noticed how flipping loud the exhaust fan is and it comes on automatically when ever you use the oven.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend average microwave
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had to choose this microwave, because it was the only one to match the color (bisque color) of the stove and refrigerator. Would have preferred to purchase microwave with a convection oven.
