    This microwave is easy to use and is big enough for all of things we do. The buttons are hard to see at night. Wish the timer was a little louder.

    This microwave is definitely worth getting for the price. It has all the basic needed functions. Glad it comes in white to match with the rest of our kitchen.

    This microwave offers a lot of bank for the buck. It's big enough for almost anything and it heats things faster than our previous GE microwave, It only has a two speed exhaust fan, but that's enough. It has all the features you might want without spending twice as much money.

    Quiet when running. Though I miss my rectangle plate, the large round one in this microwave is quite sufficient. I would give it 4 1/2 stars, if I could.

    Very good Microwave for the money

    We are very pleased with this microwave. Controls are easy to use and the inside is quite roomy and taller than our old one which is good. We do have two minor complaints. One is the exhaust fan is pretty noisy especially on high but it does work well. The second is the labeling on the buttons is relatively small and subtle, good for overall appearance but hard to read in low light. Otherwise, its a good product and what we expected.

    Microwave seems to work well. Change is hard so still getting used to slightly different buttons than what I’m used to but that’s fine. 1.6 cubic feet doesn’t seem any smaller than our old 1.7. Can’t really imagine needing anything more and it looks nice in the kitchen.

    We've only had this item installed for a week or two but so far it's great. Easy to use, quiet, efficient, and good-looking. Nice to have a product of the same brand as the stove just below it.

    I REALLY like the microwave! It's quiet, efficient and convenient. No problems there. I appreciated that given the wide window of the appointment, the installers came early. However, they seemed to be in such a hurry to accomplish their mission that they left a mess of sawdust and didn't even wipe out the cupboard above the microwave. They were finished in less than 40 minutes but left a mess behind.

    This has less room top to bottom inside than my old unit. Looks nice. Works well. I am short so it is harder for me to stir something while still inside.

    Well, that is because I am a good cook, but, this helps when reheating. I installed my self, and it was pretty easy - standard microwave and good for the price.

    Bought this one instead of the old GE JVM 1630 that I had, which finally gave up the ghost and repairing it would cost more than this model. This one is, in a word, disappointing. Pros: it's about the same size so it fit ok in the existing space. It also has 2 vent fan speeds and placement of the vent is about the same as on the old one, so I did not have to change the duct. But otherwise I think it doesn't stack up to the 10+ year old model. It seems flimsy, LED display is smaller than on the old model, turntable is also smaller. It's a lot louder when it's running and seems to not be as powerful - heating up a cup of water in the old oven took 1.5 minutes, but this one does not get it hot enough on the same amount of time. It looks and feels cheap. I bought this one after reading the online manual thinking that I can reuse the holes from the old mounting, but the unit I got has a 'new installation' kit, which only has small horizontal bracket, instead of a large rectangular bracket that I expected. So I still had to drill 3 new holes in the wall. Placement of top retaining screws is also different, so 2 more new holes had to drilled in the bottom of the cupboard. So overall lots of work for quality and looks that doesn't compare to a 10 year old model.

    Nice product. Tom and Juan were great doing the installation and cleanup/haul away of old. Personable and very quick and professional. They were here only about 20 minutes for total job. I was amazed. The microwave is nice looking and has the options I need. Works well with my needs. I'd buy again.

    I placed this order online for store pick-up. I received a call within an hour that the item was ready for pick-up, but there was an issue with the last one in stock and asked that I come by the store to inspect. The salesperson who called and the department manager handled everything in an efficient and satisfactory manner, rewrapping the item after inspection, and delivering it to my car. The microwave is working fine and was easy to install because I was replacing a similar older model.

    Looks beautiful and very powerful. Best Buy Total tech installation is really awesome. They hauled away from old microwave and installed this one. It only took 3 days from the day I ordered to the day it was installed. I would recommend this microwave for someone looking for a budget friendly and high performant appliance.
