    This is a good microwave, but with a few minor improvements, it could have been a Great one. First of all, the interior light is totally inadequate. If you are cooking any kind of food that needs observation, forget about being able to SEE it. Also, you cannot see through the window clearly at all. Another problem is that the done signal is very quiet. Some microwaves are too loud, this GE is too quiet unless you are in the kitchen. I like the exterior light and the 2-speed fan a lot. The control panel seems fairly easy to use. For the price I paid, it is a good microwave. I just wish that I COULD SEE MY HOT FOODS COOKING BEFORE THEY WENT OVER THE SIDE OF THE BOWLS. It is too bad because then it would have been an excellent product and a great value

    The only thing I have a challenge with is the gray wording on the control panel. Unless I get the right light, I can't see the words well enough to operate it. Now that I am getting more familiar with things, it's getting easier to manage it. We're retired so it may not be so challenging for younger people.

    I bought this GE microwave to replace one that was way too big! The salesman claimed they all were about the same size. Not true. I researched the depth and height dimensions to get one that fit. This seems quiet and decent.

    We bought this to replace the one that came with the house. We wanted something powerful enough to cook, filter smells, etc. This does the trick. This isn't a reflection on the product itself, but the installation instructions were a little difficult to follow. It took about 2.5 hours from start to finish.

    I just bought this stainless version but had the white one of the same model for years. Controls are easy to figure out. Whenever instruction give two cooking times which depend on the power I've never had to use the longer time. Two people better for installing if you a re DIYer. Even if you can handle the weight of the microwave it's too bulky to see the mounting tabs in back .
