    GE microwave replacing another GE 12 years old. Same look and feel and price was competitive. Not much of a selection with the COVID-19 problems but able to get this one in a few days. Very happy with the product.

    If you are looking for a straight forward microwave that does a great job at that task you can’t go wrong with this model for the money. We were also pleasantly surprised by the relatively good surface light compared to other models we looked at.

    This microwave is a piece of crap. The control panel keeps freezing up. GE sent someone out to repair it and he charged me $125. So much for a warranty. I had it only a couple of months when it failed!!!!

    Microwave is easy to use with good power. Quiet while in use. Easy to install with two people. Replaced a 23 year old over the range microwave. The only feature I wish it had is a night light mode.

    Perfect Functionally, Not Truly 'Finished' Sides

    Easy touchscreen design with a quick start - you only have to push the number 1, and the microwave immediately starts. No need to pysh a start button. Only issue is that I needed one with a finished sides. Well, the finished side is really not as the BB agent described. It's not really designed to be exposed on a side, which is what I needed and asked for. But it had to be installed that day, so I am stuck with it.

    It's nice. It has most of the features I wanted but missed a few. The door, at times, doesn't close all the way. But I would repurchase it if I had to.

    I bought this to replace one from a rental unit. It looks very nice and no complaints from tenants. Definitely have Best Buy install! They know what they are doing and can do it quickly and save you from the frustration.

    It's fine, really. Quite powerful, and does the job. Mounting it was kind of a bear; also, the tray that rotates on the bottom of it is a little flimsy. Won't iron your shirts or take out the trash (WHY NOT, GE, SHOW ME SOMETHING), but a steady appliance so far.

    Great quality in an intuitive package. My mother isn’t big on a bunch of bells and whistles, but this oven is the perfect marriage of ease of use and options. She is very pleased with her new oven. Can’t go wrong for the price!

    The panel for the use of the microwave is TOO DARK!!! I called because I thought that perhaps the back lighting for the panel was off. I was told that the LED clock was the light . The image shown here is not what I have. I have to put on all the lights in order to read the various time elements, etc. Have asked others and they have agreed that it is really very difficult to read.
