    Great over the range microwave. So far the most quiet microwave I've owned. It heats up food quickly at full power. It is well built and certainly meets my expectations for the price. Great product.

    I got this microwave with the matching oven in stainless. It replaced a 20 year old ge space maker set. My kitchen is adequate so this model was the right size and options for price range.

    I like the look and feel of this microwave. Functions perfectly. It fits the exact spot of our previous Kenmore (not our choice, came with the house) that lasted not even 3 years.

    Didn't know how much I relied on a microwave until mine died. I searched the entire web before finding this GE over-the-range unit and purchased it, using a gift card to get a nice discount. Unfortunately, it took two days to find someone to carry this upstairs to my unit and a week to find someone to install it (it is a very heavy item). But as soon as we plugged it in, I knew I made the right choice. Programming the clock was very simple, and using the pre-set buttons was a snap. Well worth the price (plus it looks nice above the stove.)

    The microwave is great. Quieter than my previous LG microwave. When I first bought the microwave Best Buy did a price match and once it was installed it went on sale at Beat Buy. I called up and they refunded the difference with no problems.

    We are not big users but this microwave is perfect for our needs. It replace an older GE model that was broken. The start button in the electronic keyboard didn't work anymore. Hope this one will work for a long time.

    I have owned this model for exactly 10 days and a few minutes ago, it started making a buzzing sound out of nowhere while simultaneously the display screen blinked randomly. I tried unplugging it for a few minutes and plugging it back to attempt to resolve the issue but that has failed. I’m heading to the store as soon as they open tomorrow morning and hopefully I can exchange this piece of junk.

    This microwave oven has exceeded my expectations! It is handsome, well made and cooks food evenly, completely and quickly. The control panel looked complicated at first glance, but I found it self-explanatory and easy to operate after a few uses. The only disappointment is the cooktop light which I found much dimmer than my previous unit.
