    Variable speed ventilation system for over the range. Multiple options for cooking, reheating and defrosting foods. Even a husband can cook for the kids when Mom’s having her bridge night.

    This has worked great for us. Not too loud, and it heats food evenly. It's also easy to clean. Two different settings for both the light and the fan, depending on our needs.

    Replaced the identical model from 2011. Different hanging kit, but nearly silent when running - even second guess if I had installed it correctly due to the minimal sound. Very happy with purchase!

    GE has made a poor quality product

    Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This microwave started to malfunction less than a year after purchase. At first I thought that it might be a poor connection to the electrical outlet. But, it turns out that it seems that the keypad and its circuitry is faulty. The time-of-day and cook settings on the LCD constantly flicker. To replace it, the part alone costs as much as the new microwave oven. Totally disappointed in GE.

    Good economical microwave. Mine arrived with the top mounting bolt missing. I had to use a toggle bolt to finish the install.

    Brought for a exact replacement. All measurements are the same unfortunately the mounting holes are different. So it wasn't plug and play, but still only took about 30 mins or so to install.

    Works well, but the light went out within 24 hours of installation. Doesn't bother me, as it was really dim to begin with.

    works well but the door is really loud when you close it - sounds like you've slammed it close when you just really did it normal...

    It sucks when the built in that came within your home dies, but thankfully this newer model of the old unit fit perfectly, and since the first one lasted 10+ years I figured it was a good value.

    I can't say nothing about this product because I didn't open the box yet. I bought it for my rental house but my new tenant prefer the old one. I have bought many product at Best Buy and I didn't have any problem at all. I hope I won't have any in the future.

    Good, serviceable unit, but sounds a little tinny. Takes a little longer running time to heat to temperature.
