    Has been working perfectly for a month and a half and was easy to install since I previously had a GE so it used the same mounting bracket.

    As a fan of GE appliances I naturally looked at this one. I'm certainly glad I bought it because the price is excellent & it does everything I need & more! I especially love the turntable & the "add 30 secs" button. It's efficient & fits perfectly in the space. Would definitely recommend!

    Our old microwave died and we needed a replacement. We bought basically the same model as the old one that had served us for 10 years. Aside from some of the buttons being in different places, which took a little getting used to, it does the same job as the old one. We are not heavy duty users, but it does get used daily and performs everything asked of it. It is a basic over the stove microwave without a whole lot of bells and whistles, but the only criticism I have is that the latches that hold the door closed were metal and are now plastic and not as sturdy. I knocked off one star for that. Otherwise we are perfectly happy with it.

    Good Microwave with some issues

    I installed this unit to replace an existing GE microwave that failed after many years.  This matches our other GE appliances and is a brand we trust.  I had just a few issues with this model. 1 - I was replacing a very similar GE microwave, yet GE insists on changing the mounting bracket and the location of the overhead mounting screws, requiring a much more labor-intensive installation.  Instead of being a 15 minute swap out, I had to remove the existing bracket and install the new bracket, drilling additional holes in the wall, and new holes had to be drilled in the overhead cabinet to accommodate the mounting screws, leaving the old holes in the cabinet.  I don't understand why GE makes it so complicated to replace an existing GE microwave. 2 - The buttons on the control panel seem to be a little harder to "push" than our previous model.  The old control panel required just a touch of the buttons, but these actually require a little push.3 - The location of the 30 second button is awkward, in the middle of the other command buttons.  The 30 second button is the most used button and should be located at the bottom of the control panel where it is easy to find! 4 - The time display is white and the time display on our matching stove is green.  Not a big deal, but when you walk into the kitchen at night, it looks strange. Otherwise, this is a good microwave.

    Was restricted by size (small space) so was limited to a smaller microwave but this one had everything we needed. Have had it for 6 months and no problems. I have become a fan of GE products as we also have a washer & drier and have had no problems. All have clean lines and are simple to use.

    Install was relatively easy for "not-so-handy" handyman. Fit up exactly into an old house cabinets, and fit the roof venting location that was already there. Light is nice and bright and

    This is very similar to the previous microwave we had. The biggest difference is in the interior size. The rotate control can be turned off to accommodate larger items. The only thing I don't like about it is the controls need to be easier to read for those of us with compromised vision. A little more paint to brighten them up would be Great and the light control should be on the bottom row so it is the first thing to press.
