    Purchased the upgraded version to previous model we owned. We love it only the display color is different than the previous and now it doesnt match the stove display. This probably wouldn't be a problem for anyone else but is does bug me.

    We were looking to replace a unit that shorted out and did not want to spend a ton of money on one. This one more than fits our needs from a functional perspective (warming up leftovers and making snacks) and looks pretty good in the kitchen. It is not the most powerful, but we don't need that.

    As this is kind of a barebones model, there's not much to blather on about. Microwave cook food good. Almost too good, to be perfectly honest. After using an older Frigidaire model for years, we're still not used to how fast this one heats things up, but given that we can actually use this microwave, that's a "flaw" we can learn to live with. :)

    There seems to be an electrical problem with the door. With any pressure, the whole unit shuts off and all programming is lost. The craters on the floor are a bit harder to clean. Cannot really recommend.

    Best replacement microwave to my aged 10 year old builder installed GE product. Less finger print smudges over the stainless steel surfaces and the color matches perfectly with the other SS appliances in my kitchen. It being new, heats up things faster too.

    Great microwave for the price, however has a flaw. I’m on my 3rd one in 10 years. Over time, twice now, a lever/switch inside the locking mechanism on the door begins to move and shorts out the microwave. It’s a known problem through GE.

    It fit the spot and generally looked like the old GE but the construction felt much flimsier and the alignment of the door to the cabinet of the microwave was not quite right.
