    Microwaves are important to fill a space above a stove. This is a great product, the fan is great, the vent works amazing and the under the counter built in light is great! The power is exactly what I expected, great product.

    Definitely takes two people to install, and at least one person has to be somewhat handy to make sure it fits right. Other then that, it has been a great microwave and very easy to operate!

    With easy installation, great face plate and extremely quiet functionality, this microwave is exactly what we needed. We were originally concerned about the open box bu that has proved to be a non-issue. Thank you!

    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.

    Fast, heats well. It's a bit annoying that it says Food if you leave something in there and keeps beeping. Sometimes I like to let things cool a bit before taking it out, but aside from that it's been great. Super easy to clean too and the exhaust fan is wonderful.

    My sales person, Torrance, was great. I was in and out of Best Buy in 30 minutes. I brought in the manual from my broken microwave and he showed me what the replacement model was. It looks nice and is performing well.

    We like the look and performance of our nwe microwave. One aspect we are very disappointed with is the function display. It is so dark that we have to turn on a light or a flashlight to see it. I thought a light must not be working and checked the product manual and couldn't find a light listed. I looked for reviews and this is a common complaint. It was a good price but I would choose a different product or ask more questions before purchasing.

We truly understand how that would be frustrating. Please know that this is not the ownership experience we strive for. We have passed your comments along to our microwave design and development team for future improvements. -Chris@GEA GE_Appliances
