We needed this exact size and color. This was the only model, of any brand, still offering the chosen color. Controls are easy to use. The microwave cooks well. Vent fan works well. Love it.

Very pleased with our new microwave. It was easy to install and very easy to use. Most of all, we were surprised how quiet it was when running. Has all the features that we use on a microwave and you can't beat the value for your money!

Love appearance and performance of microwave. HOWEVER, the control panel has no backlighting therefore you cannot read the words or numbers. I have to keep a flashlight on the counter in order to use the microwave. This is definitely a flaw. Had I found these kinds of comments in the review I would not have ordered. It is extremely inconvenient to use but performance is exceptional; way better than our old one which was 17 years old but still working. It was a GE also.

This was a perfect replacement for my old one that broke down. Matched up very easily and installation was a snap. Works great, quiet, intuitive features make it easy to use. Stainless steel finish matches our other appliances nicely as well!

The microwave works great for what I need. Right size and great features, easy to operate, and the stainless steel matches my other kitchen appliances. I like it very much

Easy install, the hardest part was installing screen filter for internal venting. Microwave is easy to use and has numerous one button push functions. I’m very happy with my purchase and Best Buy had the best price.

I spent hours researching a over the range microwave and was not disappointed with this pick. Its attractive, installed quickly and has features like one touch minutes that I was looking for.

I bought this because the dimensions are relatively small for 1.6 cubic ft unit and I despise microwaves that hang below the cabinets or stick out 6 inches in front of the surrounding cabinets. I was replacing a GE Profile from the mid-90s and it fit into the existing cabinet cutout perfectly - does not protrude below the cabinets, and the depth expanding out in front of the cabinets is minimal - only a couple inches.
I installed with the recirculating fan option as we do not have exterior vent ducting. Usually microwave fans have 2 speeds - loud, and just as loud but moving less air. On this GE the low fan speed is much quieter than the high speed, which is rare and appreciated.
My only complaints are that the worksurface light could be a bit brighter, and the buttons sometimes require more pressure than expected. Overall, it does everything I need it to, nothing I don't, and has held up fine for 6+ months now. Would recommend to anyone who isn't looking for bells and whistles.

I recently got the GE 1.6 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave in stainless steel installed to replace a 20+ year old microwave, and it’s been a kitchen game-changer. Here’s the lowdown:
• Sleek Stainless: Let’s start with the looks – it’s stainless steel, and it’s gorgeous. Adds a touch of sophistication to my kitchen.
• Efficient Heating: When it comes to microwaves, you want one that heats things up quickly and evenly. This GE microwave does just that. No more cold spots in my leftovers!
• Spacious: With 1.6 cubic feet of space, it’s roomy enough to handle large dishes. Perfect for reheating dinner plates or popping in that oversized bag of popcorn for movie nights.
• Easy Controls: The controls are user-friendly, and I love the convenience of the presets. It’s like having a personal chef at the push of a button.
• Exhaust Fan: It also has an exhaust fan, which is a bonus. Keeps my kitchen smelling fresh when I’m whipping up something aromatic.
So, there you have it – the GE 1.6 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave. It’s sleek, powerful, and adds a dash of style to your kitchen. If you’re in the market for a microwave that’s as good-looking as it is functional, this one’s a winner!

I've never install a microvewave before amd was nervous about doing self instalation of this unit but was pleasently surprised that It's easy to install. The unit have nice features at a reasonable price, we got it on sales and it's a great deal.

This microwave does all the basics we want -- heating at various levels; timed heating, a timer, a reminder. You can make instant oatmeal, a mug of tea or cocoa, heat corn on the cob for a minute before much-easier shucking. The turntable rotates so that the flood is heated evenly. It has a clock that's easy to set. It has a night light that can go on daily automatically. Ours is set to vent to the outside through the wall behind it. You can watch the food being heated through the window. This microwave is quieter than the similar GE model we had purchased 15 years ago that we replaced because of a broken door,. This is a good microwave.

Purchased this to replace another mounted unit that was several years old. Was pleased with the features and the way it looked. Unit was easy to install and works very well. I like most everything about it and would recommend it.

The GE over the range microwave was a great replacement for our old microwave that died after 20 years. It was a great price and was very easy to install using the included templates and mounting hardware. My only complaint is that the popcorn setting does not fully cook a bag of popcorn. I have to add another minute and wait for the popping to stop at about 45 seconds. All other functions are great.

I finally replaced my old 2004 microwave with this GE Over-the-Range Microwave, and the difference is incredible! This one is fast, easy to use, and operates smoothly. The convenience cooking controls make reheating and cooking super simple, and everything heats up evenly. Installation was straightforward, and for the price, this is an excellent deal. It looks great in my kitchen and works perfectly.

Nice product so far, buttons are a little odd to press correctly and it is louder than some I've had before. It seems that the vent runs every time it's on, not sure yet if it's a setting or just the way its designed. Installation was straightforward, and the dimensions are accurate. Esthetically it is nice, brushed stainless looks nice and it looks great new.
