Faulty display and other issues
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This series of GE microwaves is known to have issues with the display. Mine was good for the first 6 months then occasionally flashed on the 2nd digit. I didn't think anything of it. Just after the year warranty expired the 2nd digit went completely crazy to where it is now often unreadable with the various segments of the number either not showing or randomly flashing like a strobe light. I am now buying a replacement control board to fix this (part WB27X29801) for about $100. Shame on GE for not having better quality control on these. Also, the glass rotating plate inside is fairly delicate. A coffee mug hit the plate when being placed inside and a chunk of the lip cracked off leaving a jagged edge (another $100 replacement for the official GE plate). On top of this, Best Buy uses a terrible outside company for installations called Premier Logistics. I have never seen bigger idiots. It’s like the Three Stooges were sent to install this. They were shocked it wouldn’t fit on the existing bracket and were very hesitant to install a new one (like they weren’t totally sure how). When they finally did start installing it 2 guys did most of the work while the 3rd stood around supervising. The supervisor then decided to randomly touch the microwave which he then immediately sliced his hand on and proceeded to bleed all over my kitchen floor while trying to nonchalantly hide his hand from me. I had another terrible experience with Premier Logistics about a year later when a different team came to deliver and install a dishwasher at which point they flooded the kitchen and tried to scam my elderly parents out of $200. Before you buy anything from Best Buy, check to see if Premier Logistics will be involved in any way (delivery, installation, etc.) and if so look somewhere else. I would not buy this microwave again and I’m very hesitant to buy any appliance from Best Buy because of the aforementioned issues with the install team.

Over the range microwave
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The microwave works fine. The only thing that is not great is that the digital numbers are placed too close together on either side of the colon. It’s hard to read the time quickly.

Great Microwave!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great product so far! I’ve only had this for a month but it fit perfectly where the previous one went before. Heats the food great and has a good amount of internal space. Lots of curation settings. The price is also great compared to a lot of others.

GE Microwave
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great most of the time but once in a while it will freeze up and I will have to unplug it and plug it back in.

A disappointment
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So we’ve had this micro wave just about two years and sadly, it’s kind of a disappointment. It wasn’t the cheapest option but maybe a year into owning it we noticed the sounds turn on and off randomly-not good if you’re using the timer and it’s silent. And it also doesn’t always warm up food for awhile. Again, it’s just here and there and we never know when but we tried to spend some money so we would have something decent for a long time and eliminate excess trash in the world but it really isn’t great.

No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from GE Answers
Posted .For this model, the vent fan will automatically start when using any cooking cycle on the Microwave and will operate during the entire cooking cycle. If your microwave runs but is not heating, there could be one of many components that is not working properly. Please make sure the “Timer” function was not inadvertently used. Also check to ensure the door is closed securely; open the door and close it firmly. This confirms the engagement of the door's safety mechanisms. -- If these suggestions do not solve the problem and the microwave still won't heat, please reach out to us (GE Appliances) via private message on Facebook, X, or Instagram so that we may learn more about your situation. Make sure to include your full serial and model numbers, any service confirmation or case numbers you have, along with a copy of this review. Lauren@GEAppliances

GE - 1.6 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We are very happy with our new over the range Microwave. It has a larger range than most and you can fit larger casserole dishes in there which is good when cooking for a larger family.

A good buy for the money.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this model on sale in the store and had Best Buy install it. It send to be working well. I do like the option to turn off the turntable. I also like the "add 30 seconds" option. Surface light has two settings which I also like. The vent fan noise doesn't bother me. The unit looks nice under the cabinetry. My range is not GE but the microwave matches really well.

GE OTR microwave
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good over the range microwave. Good features for reasonable price. Wish they hadn't made the vent fan automatically turn on whenever the microwave is in use, however, I do like that the vent fan will turn on when the microwave detects too much heat/moisture from the stovetop. Overall a good OTR microwave for the money.

What I needed
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Microwave is not feature packed! My last one was and when it stopped working I realized I had not used half the features on it! This is just what I needed all alone. Looks nice, quieter than my last one. Slate finish looks good in my kitchen.

Great value
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Looks great! We bought it to replace an older sharp. Beware that new microwaves are slightly "taller" than they were 15 years ago. We had to cut the tiles a bit in order to get it to fit. I hope it lasts as long as the Sharp did!

A noisy worker
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Installation we did ourselves, wasn’t too hard but also not easy either. Took 3 of us to get it hung on the rather obscure hanging rack. I do part time house flipping so no stranger to Home diy. It looks good, works fine but a few things could be improved. Firstly it’s SO noisy. Like airplane taking off noisy. We’ve checked the exhaust setup and it’s just a noisy unit. Secondly, it doesn’t allow minutes and seconds to be setup because once you press a number it sets off as if that’s all you want. A bit silly.otherwise it works well and that’s about it.
