installed as replacement - job went easily
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a replacement for the same microwave model so I could use the old outlet, wall mount. New unit worked perfectly. Since we had a large group of company coming the next day, I needed to replace within 24 hrs. Ordering, pickup at warehouse went very smoothly.

Sullen manager and BEWARE OPEN-BOX items!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.« 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 great GE OVR microwave.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the basic version OVR microwave in GE microwave products. I highly recommend you get it if you only want an affordable option. Also, the color of the microwave is actually a little darker than the picture portrayed.

Good microwave
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good microwave. 1000 watt cooks/warms as quickly as the GE 1700 watt it replaced. Nice suprise. Only reason we replaced it is because door switch failed a second time.

Brighter control panel
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decent microwave for the price. However. I noticed the lettering/writing on the control panel or keypad is not easy to read. It would be helpful if they used brighter/whiter lettering.

Good Microwave with some issues
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Great overhead microwave
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price, you cannot beat this microwave. It’s quiet, efficient and the exhaust is pretty strong. Lots of “speed” buttons that makes things a little easier when microwaving. For the price, you just can’t get a better microwave or deal.
