    Open box but only the box was open. Great price, and salesperson worked with us for the best deal. Ours broke unexpectedly so it was a relief to have such a positive experience.

    Only reason I did not give it a 5 is that I wish the keypad keys were more responsive than they are. Otherwise, this was the perfect size for our space and works great. Very glad we purchased it.

    purchased this product as my microwave of 15 years just stopped working. Wanted a fairly basic microwave to hold me over until I decide if I am going to renovate my kitchen. This product seems to serve the purpose just fine.

    Replaced a 20 year old GE with this one. Same style, but updated features, of coarse. This one is the same power and the performance is very good. If this one lasts half as long I do not think I will need to replace it.

      We are glad to hear that your microwave was fixed and working well now. It is normal for the unit to make sounds while operating. Normal sounds can be produced by the appliance as well as the food being heated in the appliance. Please review the article titled “Microwave - Arcing or Making Sounds” on the GE Appliances website.

    It looks just like the microwave it replaced (except for the brand label). The control panel is similar but the preset commands are easier to understand and are adjustable. It came with all hardware needed to install it.

    Bought this on Good Friday for a great price. Our old GE was only 5 years old when somehow a hole burned through the top of the appliance and there was concerns over radiation. The warranty just expired. Hoping this one will last longer. So far so good.

    This microwave is a good value. I did not need anything fancy. The only complaint I have is that the buttons to not light up. Even my middle school son complained about no lights. It makes the buttons hard to see.

    The only knock I have is with the control pad with poor contrast. In low lighting, it can be difficult to read. Of course, after several days of usage, I have learned where the important keys are located.
