    Having had this exact model before, I was familiar with how it works. This model is easy to use and has been functioning as expected for the month we've had it. We didn't realize how much we depended on the microwave before, until we were not able to use it.

    This microwave works fantastic. The only down fall is having to install it. Our spot measured to be the exact size this microwave is showing to be, but good god! It didn't fit & we had to do some adjustments to get it to fit. Other than that this is great!

      We would like to give you some information regarding the sound level of your microwave. It is normal to hear a dull thumping sound or hum while cooking. However, if you suspect the sound level is not from normal operation, we recommend reaching out to our Bodewell service team at 1-833-426-3393 to schedule an appointment. GE_Appliances

    I didn’t realize how fancy microwaves are now. My microwave stopped working and I really needed a replacement. I walked in to Best Buy and was helped immediately. They asked me what I needed, which was basically just a standard basic model over the range. They set up delivery, install, and removal of my old microwave through geek squad. When geek squad arrived the day of install they weren’t sure that they were going to be able to make the microwave work because of the odd framing behind my microwave. However, I was happy to know that they were able to make it work. I now have a Microwave that works and has all the features that I need. If you are in search of a basic microwave to replace an over the range microwave this is a good one. Nothing too fancy!

    First, I love the slate color. This microwave had top notch reviews and after 1 week of use, the reviews seem justified. The only minor complaint I have is that the door seems a little flimsy. The microwave is used constantly. I will see how it holds up over the years.

    Sullen manager and BEWARE OPEN-BOX items!

    « Open box - excellent » shouldn’t describe an over-the-range microwave without ANY hardware (brackets, screws, templates), a turntable, or instructions. It’s NOT sellable - let alone « excellent ». When returning it the store manager was sullen (probably because I interrupted his hanging out with the guys at the entrance (also had to interrupt their chat to ask them to move so I could roll the cart into the store)). He never said hello, welcome, sorry, etc - just looked angry and typed on and on leaving me standing there not knowing what he was doing or why. Was he looking for a replacement? Was he changing it to « unsellable » status? I didn’t know until I’d been standing there in silence for several minutes. The female team member was very polite and nice - but this manager has been promoted above his abilities. I haven’t shopped BB much in years - and this confirms I’ll keep using the mail-order/delivery giant going forward.

    A solid budget friendly microwave. It may be missing some of the bells and whistles of some more expensive models, but it gets the job done. The glass turntable is remarkably larger than many of the high-end brands.

    I love my new microwave! It' exactly what I wanted. Simple to use. Just press one button and hit start. I wanted a GE microwave to match my other appliances and it is high quality with lots of features I will use at a great price! My brother installed it for me and is easier with two people to lift it into the space. I couldn't be happier!

    This over the range microwave replaced one from another manufacturer that failed after 6 years of use. This one had all the features that we wanted at a reasonable price. It is attractive and seems to be well made. It meets all of our needs and works well so far.
