    Our new GE microwave is working well and seems to be one of a few that would fit in our smaller space.

    I love my new GE microwave! It’s easy to use and it looks nice in my kitchen. I like the features included. The add 30 seconds button and the express 1-5 minutes are very convenient and they were not included in my old microwave. I was lucky enough to buy it on sale which made it a good value.

    It works fine, but the control pad is very hard to read. The writing should have been in brighter numbers/letters or lit up. I have to get very close to read the buttons. My microwave broke just as my parents arrived for a 2 week vacation. I was tight for money, this one was under 200.00. I ordered it online. I wish I had gone to the store to see what I was buying.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      Hello BESTBUY, thank you for your review. We are sincerely sorry you have not been pleased with the craftsmanship of your microwave's control panel. 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

    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.
