    If you need an over the stove microwave, this one is wonderful. This is our second time purchasing this model, both for remodeled kitchens. Easy to use, responsive and looks good installed. Have never had a problem with either one we purchased.

    This was our second purchase of this model in 5 years. We looked for a different brand, but it fits the space and has the features we like for a good price (Express cook, defrost by weight or time, kitchen timer and ability to turn off the turntable.) Two drawbacks are the keypad isn't lit and long term durability. The last one starting blowing the circuit if we opened the door before stopping or pausing cooking; eventually it wouldn't run at all. Sadly for the landfill, it is cheaper to replace than fix. Paid for geeksquad with this one.

    GE Over FRange Microwave a Disappointment

    This was a replacement for a unit damaged in a power surge. We thought it would be an upgrade but turned out to be a disappointment. Controls were changed and were less intuitive. Door closes with a clunk rather than smoothly. There is only one under unit light over the range. It appears to be an older unit from storage thsn s new one.

    I previously had a GE microwave; in fact, I had it for 21 years without having any problems. I only bought a new one to match my new stainless appliances. Luckily, I was able to find the same size microwave as my previous one. Great delivery men!

    Ok but why do we have to shut the door so hard? Shouldn't there be a soft touche? I can tell that the door switch will be the first thing fail

      Good day,

      Thank you for taking some time to share your thoughts with us. If you find that your microwave door closes loudly or is harder to close than your previous model, the difference in the door noise is due to a firmer spring in the door latch; this is a normal condition for the microwave. You can lift up on the latch to feel the tension. We apologize if this causes any inconvenience. Let us know if you need anything. Take care. Mike@GEA GE_Appliances

    This was a great purchase from Best Buy. Old old microwave burned out after 18 years. This one is perfect for us and the installers from Best Buy were the best! They were clean and did not leave a mess in my home as I have experienced in the past with other companies.

    This item fit perfectly where my old microwave went. I've had it for a few months now, and it's very durable and reliable. I haven't had a single issue. I love the surface light feature, specifically. I can use both lights or just one. Great product.
