    We bought this unit as a no-frills replacement for the one that came with our house. It matches the other appliances perfectly and has all the functionality we need at a reasonable price.

    It fit the space perfectly and was exactly as expected. So far, seems to be better than expected. The vent fan is a bit loud, but not as bad as the previous microwave.

    Replaced a 16 year old countertop microwave that was still running. Wanted to get it off the counter so opted for an OTR microwave. Had to route new wiring in an old house for a dedicated plug/circuit. Didn't run any duct work out to the outside, the vent would work better, but dont have access to do it. Switched it to recirculating. Bought black to match stove and dishwasher. So far so good.

    One complaint....can't read the buttons. Same color as the background. Big Miss for the Engineering Department. Could have been easily rectified. I'm a Design Engineer specializing in plastics so I can speak to this with authority.

    I have several gripes with this microwave. But let me say that it cooks my food great and even temperature every time with little to no splatter. It’s great in that respect. The install was easy enough. I did it myself. I imagine that was like installing any other brand. However, the buttons are extremely hard to push. I really have to bear down on them to get them to work. And the vent fans on the bottom are too small for my needs. I cook a lot and they don’t do a good job at all at taking the smoke/steam away. I position the exhaust fan correctly and have it venting through the roof. The Hi fan setting is super loud and it does not suck out as much smoke as my previous microwave. The Low fan setting is too low and a joke. The lights underneath get super hot - especially if you leave them on overnight, which I do to act as a night light. It looks great and cooks the food great, but it’s operations are not good. Wish I had of gone with a different text model. The microwave I replaced was a 19 year old HotPoint microwave. It was awesome at all the things that my new GE does terribly, but it started to have problems cooking the food. Also, the vent flap on top of the GE is annoyingly loud.

    5 stars for delivery time. 5 stars for features. 2 stars for installation. Unit this replaced was basically the same model (with different model #) as the new one...BUT...GE changed the mounting bracket and all mounting hole locations. Would have been much more customer friendly to keep things consistent. Could have been a 5 minute job to replace.

    Best Buy made this a very easy purchase for me. Found my product it on line. Saw that the closet Best Buy to me carried it and had curbside pickup. I order it and within 2 hrs I was installing my new mircrowave. The pickup went just as their web-site had directed me. Would do this again!

    Installation was a pain in the ….. and I feel like the drilling template wasn’t accurate but it could have been user error.
