    We purchased this for a rental property, and it installed with ease. Looks great too, and functions as expected. Not a bad price either!

    This microwave works well and and is easy to use. If you are installing yourself, it can be a bit tricky. I would suggest having a professional install it.

    I replaced my Maytag over stove microwave with this GE microwave. The Maytag had cost me twice as much and broke twice within 2 years, The GE is much quieter and heats more evenly.

    I really like this Microwave. It fit perfectly above my stove. It is black and has a stainless steel front. It has everything I wanted; It has a clock, a vent fan, a timer, 2 adjustable surface light, and a turntable. It looks beautiful in my kitchen. Thank you very much!

    Avoid it if you can. Trips breakers and eventually dies. Buy extra warranty! I’ve been through 3 of these and they last couple years at best. The only reason I buy this model is because of not having to drill additional holes in the cabinet. 1) 2018 purchase: this one lasted for 6 months and then spent 3 months in repair (under warranty) and finally died in 2020 Issue one: door switches faulty Issue two: sensors died Issue three: High Voltage transformer died 2) 2016 purchase: door switches died, keypad died 3) 2014 purchase: Turntable motor died, keys stopped working GE space maker: 2000- 2014! Zero issues!

      Hello Onerous, thank you for your review. We hate to hear that your microwave has stopped operating properly. It's not what we would expect to happen and we apologize for any inconvenience or frustration this may have caused you. We truly value you as a customer and hope that you will give us the opportunity to earn your trust back in the future. -Chris@GEA GE_Appliances

    This model replaces a 15-year-old predecessor. We liked that one a lot, so we thought that we'd try this one. So far, so good. All of the same kinds of features with popcorn, potatoes, defrosting, quick times for various minutes, add 30 seconds, etc. The bonus is that this microwave is really quiet, actually much quieter than our old one. The only minor complaint is that the clock is difficult to read from a distance, because the numbers are too close together. Oh well, doesn't affect the performance of the oven. Overall we are very pleased.
