  • Worse microwave

    Not as good as my last one that was identical to this one. The vent stays running no matter if you’re defrosting or heating up food. The temp could be at high settings and yet what normally would take 1 minute on my last one takes an additional 30 seconds to minute extra. Not very happy with this item and could have purchased a 50 dollar one that would have done a better job at what it was intended to do.

    Works as intended. Only issue is the digital display is always flashing/ glitching when not in use. 2 and a half years old. Everything still functions as normal.

    Not bad microwave. I was hoping it would fit nice with the mount already in place but it didn’t.

    It heats our food, all working, nothing special. Lights behind buttons can not be adjusted/lowered. Would buy again as a standard household appliance.

    Bought this microwave as a replacement and the microwave works well. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles but for my liking, it isn't needed. Would definitely purchase this.

    Nice Microwave, decent price, a little tougher to install than I thought. Had to do some carpentry and metal work to get it installed. Would not recommend the average person try to install.

    Was lucky to find this microwave as a refurbished unit in excellent condition. Works as expected. It arrived looking brand new and save me about 50% of the price. It works as expected. No complains!

    Love this microwave! Large capacity and rotating turntable. Large door handle but a little noisy when opening and closing the door.

    was surprised at the difficulty of how to hook up the exhaust fan port to the duct work already in the kitchen, also would recommend that someone with mechanical experience do the install.

    Pretty nice microwave oven. Installation (by me) went pretty well. Was a very good price at the time too! (Little more than $200)

    Everything seems to be working just great. We put it in about 3 weeks ago and all is well! Of this one lasts as long as my last one (20 years +) I’ll be very happy! That was a G E also.

    Owned for 1.5 months as time of review. Unit looks really nice but scratches super easy. Just wiping the front after install with a fresh microfiber cloth left a ton of micro scratches. Handle feels a little cheap, recommend opening near the bottom of the handle and not grabbing the top for longevity. Cooks very well. Cons aside, for the price, it's a good purchase.
