Looks good where old was
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had GE for 15 years so my comparison is to the old one. Bought this one about 2 weeks ago Positive: Much quiter than old one Works as well or better than old one While a little smaller fits well and looks good Geek Squad was very good Negatives: You must push the key pad much harder for response (worse problem to me, affraid key pad cover is going to crack over time) Pad is not lighted Time light lights up the whole room at night have trouble making out the time due to the size of the colon (;) between the numbers

Perfect Upgrade for Any Kitchen!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This GE microwave is a fantastic addition to my kitchen. It heats evenly, is very quiet, and the stainless steel finish looks sleek and modern. The convenience cooking controls are a game changer—super easy to use even for quick meals. Installation was smooth, and it fits perfectly above my range. Highly recommend!

1.6 cu ft. is just a good as 1.7 was
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I previously had the 1.7 Cu Ft version of this microwave, which broke. This 1.6 Cu Ft version has all the features I ever used, it's got one more quick cook time (6), it's working great. I don't notice the size difference. No issues, lets hope it lasts longer than the other one.

Great Over-the-Range Microwave for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The GE 1.6 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave was very easy to install, looks good (it matches our other stainless steel appliances), and works great. It has all the features one would expect on a microwave oven. Although using this microwave oven is straight forward, I highly recommend reading the instructions (who ever does) to discover some hidden features. For the price, the GE 1.6 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave is a bargain.

Good product
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this because our other microwave broke & this one was relatively cheap compared to some of the more expensive brand models. I feel like this microwave probably works better than the one we used to have. It's easy to use and it looks nice. The installation was pretty easy.

Really Great Over-The-Range Microwave
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The microwave is great! We had to replace our other over the range GE microwave. It’s as expected and an improvement to the previous model of 6 years ago. The bottom is a little different. The main difference we found was it is quieter and easier to install. Highly recommend this over the range option for the features and the price point.

Happy so far!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far so good! Easy to use, sleek, a little heavy to install but it was the perfect fit for our space and a really good price. It's got options without being overwhelming.

Very happy with it
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Heats great, runs quiet, looks nice, fits perfect in the hood opening over the stove and is easy to use. The best thing you can say about a microwave is that it works without calling attention to itself for whatever reason. It doesn't sing, dance or play a fiddle but I didn't want it to do that anyway. It does do what I want it to do and does it well.

Gets the job done
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good microwave. Looks nice up in our kitchen. Fairly easy to install once we had the right tools together. Did have to get new washers for the bolts at the top because the holes in the bottom of our kitchen cabinets were too large for the screws. A lot quieter than our old microwave and a great price!

Great Price
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great price! Price shopped and Bestbuy had the best price. Bought online and they had it ready super fast. I couldn’t have ask for a better experience. As far as the product, it’s great although the control board went out within the first 3 months. Other than, it works great and was easy to install.

Sleek modern low-profile microwave.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had this microwave installed last week. It looks great above my stove. I'm happy with this Whirlpool low-profile microwave so far. I'm still getting used to the newer cooking guide and control panel but I do like it very much!

GE microwave
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently purchased a GE microwave from Best Buy, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. From the moment I set it up, it’s been a total game‑changer in my kitchen. The build quality feels solid and premium, the stainless‑steel finish looks sleek, and the controls are incredibly intuitive — even for quick, on‑the‑go heating. What impressed me most is how evenly and quickly it heats food. Whether I’m reheating leftovers, defrosting meat, or popping popcorn, the results are consistently perfect. The sensor cooking feature is surprisingly accurate and takes the guesswork out of cooking. The turntable is smooth and quiet, and the interior is easy to wipe clean. Buying from Best Buy made the experience even better — fast pickup, great customer service, and the price was right. Overall, this GE microwave delivers excellent performance, modern design, and great value. Highly recommended for anyone looking to upgrade their kitchen!

Awesome replacement for the Microwave that we had
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My family and I really like this new microwave. Bought it as a replacement and wanted stainless finish. Sure glad that we found this G.E. as it fit perfect, is quiet to operate, was easy to install, and has just been a great replacement for the old one that we had.

Friendly use, but lack on lighting features
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pros. Ease of use, quiet operation, and sleek appearance at an affordable price point. I love the convenient express cook buttons and the ample interior space. Cons. I have complaint with the dim, stovetop light could be better (non-LED) and plastic parts doesn't feel as a good material, particularly the door handle.

Quiet microwave!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We picked this one on other reviews that described this oven as "quiet." We weren't disappointed. While it is far from silent, compared to the one it replaced (which sounded like a jet engine) we are very pleased. It's also bigger inside. Installed fine though instructions were typically sparse. Happy so far with its performance. Hopefully it lives longer than it's predecessor which died after only a couple years. Controls are intuitive. Only miss having a butter melt/soften button. One thing that surprised me--the entire front is the door, not just the lower section with the handle and glass, so it feels kind of bulky when you open it. But that's not really a problem. Who knows. It might be part of why it is quieter.

Nice product at a great price point
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a nice sized microwave and the price was perfect for what we were looking for. It fits nicely above our stove and looks great with the separate trim kit that we purchased. It's easy to use and functions great.

Good quality, but...
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The overall quality this microwave is good, but some of the cosmetics fall short. The digital numbers are too close together and too blocky. The time is hard to read from farther then 3 ft. The arrangement of the buttons is not intuitive. The over head light button is located in the middle level of the keyboard. Considering how dark the keypad is it would have been nice to have something lit. It is very hard to see buttons in the dark (see light button). I do like the construction and the quick press of a number to start cooking (press 2 and it quick starts at 2 min).
