    I use my microwave daily for defrosting and reheating. I have not used it for cooking. I am very pleased with this product. It heats more quickly and operates quieter than the microwave I replaced. The vent fan works well to take away steam, etc. when I am cooking on stove top.

    Our previous GE microwave had the option to change the loudness, and mute the alert sounds. I wish this one did too. But other than that, thus has been a good microwave thus far.

    I ordered the microwave online as a gift for my son. It was a painless experience picking up at the store. Not sure if everything is good we have not installed it yet. The only disaappointment I had was i was unable to use my birthday credit that was sent to me.

    I received this microwave USED and does NOT Heat, I contacted Best buy but since it was past the exchange rate they did not help me. I barely had it installed so I did not realize it did not heat up until today. It turns on, it spins and lights work but it does not heat up

    It took a lot of time to install because the cupboards were not square and it was difficult to use the templates because of it. So ended up having to drill more holes in order to match up the top screws. Once installed it worked great and was easy to setup. Really like the fan, timer, and functions.

    Works good. A somewhat under powered and looks a little cheap. Some of the instructions are not great but it’s fairly easy to figure out how to install it.

    Best Buy installed this purchase for me at one of my rental houses to replace an older microwave that no longer worked. This model seems to be working out great for my tenant, who is pleased with both the product and the installation service.
