    After checking the available Microwave at Best Buy we decided to check other places but ended up back at Best Buy because of the atmosphere and friendliness of the sales dept. Besides the price, we liked the style of the GE 1.6 and the easy to understand control system! Now that we have had it for some time, we are very satisfied with it`s performance and convenience!

    Purchased this to replace burned out older GE Microwave. It had a high Consumer rating and Best Buy had the best price. I would have rated it a 5 except I had to drill new holes to install it. Instructions for installation and use are straightforward.

    This microwave was very easy to put up. The instructions were clear and easy to follow along. The control panel is a breeze and it warms your food up in no time. The food comes out evenly heated all around. This model was the upgrade to our previous one that conked out during a storm. Please remember to plug your appliances into a surge protector.

    I had an older model of this microwave. I liked it so I replaced it with the newer model. Yes, the door is loud and doesn't feel as sturdy as before. This doesn't bother me so I rate it a 5. I hope it lasts as good as the previous one.

    Burned out surface light after only 3 weeks!

    The microwave worked wonderfully and as expected for 3 weeks when the right surface light burned out. My last microwave lasted 15 years with no burned out lights! Apparently the lights on this model are a problem as reviews indicated and which I had not seen. Bulbs can break in socket and are VERY difficult to remove. They also are expensive to replace like $18. Best Buy resolved the problem and sent a geek squad to change the defective bulb, but they advised that this would be the only time. So far, so good, but it is something to consider especially since I only had the thing for 3 weeks.
