    Picked this microwave up on sale. Couldn’t beat the price. Microwave wasn’t expensive, but has all the features I need. Installation technician that installed the microwave covered the area before beginning installation and picked up after himself when finished. Very happy with this purchase. Worth the money and would definitely recommend.

    This machine is quiet, easy to use and has handy "Express" features. I cook in the microwave a great deal! I chose white to coordinate with other appliances and it wipes clean nicely. I liked the price and the installation went well. I recommend this microwave … and I've had several throughout my (long) cooking career.

    GE Over the Range Microwave

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

    Microwave has adequate features and is user friendly. It performed well until it started to fail just 3 months past the warranty end date. Item Installed 5/31/23. Sound panel began to fail on 9/1/25. Total tech extended warranty is misleading as it states the purchase is covered for an additional 24 months. However, according to C/S Rep. the warranty is only extended for 12 months beyond the manufacturers 12 month warranty. The 24 month extended warranty only applies to APPLE products. One Star Rating based on the fact that we as consumers should not have to be replacing appliances every two years, and if that is what things are coming to, then the microwave should have been priced at $50.00 to $75.00. Very disappointed with GE...They used to build quality products.

    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.)

    This microwave was reasonably priced and looks as if it's been there forever. (It was a replacement)...installer said it was very smooth and easy to set up. Best part of shopping, the amazing man who was so knowledgeable and helpful in store...Cecil, I think.
