    Microwave is really easy to use. I like that it has two setting for a surface light too and an inside light when door is open. It has easy quick warm up buttons also

  • PERFECT FOR WHAT I NEED

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    It is top rated by Consumer Reports which is why I bought it. It doesn't have all the bells & whistles that newer much more expensive models have, but I wouldn't use those options. It replaces a 9 year old model that is very similar and that is all I wanted to do. The mounting holes above were about an inch off (because it is slightly smaller), so that was the only adjustment I needed. The first one sent did not work, but Best Buy did a great job in getting another one sent within a few days. It does the job I needed!!!

    This microwave has all the bells and whistles you need. Plenty of power and clean stainless steel finish. Easy to use and clean and matches perfectly with our GE profile gas range. Had GE profile microwave before this one and think this one looks and works better.

    Replaced old over the range with this GE model. Converting from vented to non-vented is a bit tricky. Installation wasn't too bad. Works great. Has quick start programming so when you press a number key it starts immediately for that amount of time.

    Very pleased with the GE Microwave. Superior to the Frigidaire we had before. Has all the extras the old microwave had plus new features we like. All in all, a very good buy.

    This microwave is very quiet. Heats well. Star deducted for the handle. It heats up crazy fast when you use the stovetop below then makes cracking and popping sounds. The handle gets too hot to touch.

    Installation took me 2hrs, since the previous microwave was different brand. Definitely its two person job when it comes to fitting the microwave over the stove. Other than that, its pretty quiet.

    We use our microwave a lot with a busy household of 3 teens. So when our old one quit on us, we needed a replacement fast. This one is such a steal. Super quiet we didn’t think it was even running cuz it was so quiet. Love it!

    Cheaply made! Light on clock flickers all the time and it is hard to make out the numbers. The door seems like it will break every time it is shut. GE should be ashamed for putting their name on this microwave. It works fine to defrost and heat up food for now. I am very disappointed with this microwave.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      For the door concern, we recommend scheduling a service appointment for one of our Bodewell technicians to assess your unit. You can schedule an appointment by calling us at: 1-800-432-2737. Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback, that we'll be sure to pass along to the appropriate team. -Don@GEAppliances GE_Appliances

    We had an older model and loved it, but it finally needed to be replaced. We were able to find this newer model. It works great! Super easy to install! Works just like our older one that we loved.
