    I have been very happy with this purchase. I didn't want to spend 250 or more on an over the range microwave and found this one on sale. It has all the features I use most, heats evenly, and doesn't have an annoyingly loud beep ;). Great appliance purchase

    Good but fan starts automatically when heating and fan is loud. I like controlling speed of fan when I feel need for fan.

    This is a very good microwave. The only issue I had with it is the cord only exits the unit on the top and I needed it to exit on the back. I was able to make it work though.

    It’s a very reliable microwave. It’s pretty basic. Nothing fancy, I’m not sure how long it’ll last but so far so good.

    Great microwave that replaced my old GE after 13 years of heavy use. It was also easy to install with a few modifications to the upper mounting holes. Did it myself, but I wouldn't recommend it. It takes several hands, pre-planning and ingenuity to mount it and the vent piping simultaneously.

    I have purchased this GE over the range microwave oven to replace the existing one with a broken handle. I was so surprise to find this microwave exact replacment after 20 years and it fit perfectly since it is an exact replacement and was an easy installation since it fit into the existing slot. Perfect. The oven have serve me well for 20 years. A great oven.

    Bought this to replace my GE that stopped working. Was hoping it would have the same mounting points as my older one that is 6 years old (same dimensions) but it didn't. Installation was a pain. Hope it last longer than the last one..

    Love my new GE Over-the-Range Microwave. Purchase was so easy and it was in stock. Installation was quick and professional. It was hard to find a microwave that still has the "instant minutes" feature but this one is perfect.

    The GE - 1.6 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave - White that I purchased was a replacement microwave for a GE 1.7 Cu Ft Over the range that malfunctioned after 3 yrs. New replacement GE - 1.6 Cu Ft microwave cost less than the replacement board required to fix my original microwave.

    Very happy with this purchase! It goes on sale quite often, so I recommend waiting if it’s not. Nothing fancy; a standard really good microwave. Quiet and quiet works great! No issues.

    This microwave has all the convenient features that you need to cook your favorites--express 1 minute and 2 minute settings by just pushing the 1 or 2 key! The potato, popcorn and beverage buttons make it easy too!

    Heats wells, has all the features I need. If you are installing this on your own, I found that taping the template to a piece of carboard made easier to align it on the cabinet's bottom for perfect holes.
