    Not a well made product. I have had to have the key board replaced twice in the past and it has now gone out again in less then one year..

    At first we loved this microwave, but the vent fan stopped working after 2 weeks. And we’re just outside the ridiculous 2 week return window. Hopefully GE will stand behind their product more than Best Buy does and fix it for free since it’s only 2 weeks old.

    Never again! This is the second time we’ve purchased this exact unit bc it matches all our other appliances. We are two weeks from our closing date (selling our home) and it’s quit again! Will NOT be replacing this microwave again!! Fuses blow on a regular basis and it’s not due to electrical issues in the home (already hired an electrician to confirm the culprit is the microwave, not the home).

    Good while it lasted but didn't last long! We purchased this in Feb 2020 and it just stopped working May 2021. We changed the fuses and still nothing. I see many others have the same issues. Poor design.

    My Summary says it all. I don't expect my microwave, or any appliance, to simply quit working after two years. Since we're a retired couple and I don't cook very much, the microwave did not get heavy usage. Mostly used it to heat up frozen meals that we got from Jenny Craig. Of course the warranty is up after a year. Such shoddy manufacturing doesn't even deserve one star but I don't have the option of zero stars.

    made cheaply

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

    This is not nearly as nice as the one I replaced. It is very flimsy and doesn't heat as well as the old one. I would not recommend buying this and I would not keep it except that it was so difficult to get it purchased and installed that I don't want to go through the hassles again, so I will just keep it until it wears out. It seems to be made cheaply and charged expensively.
