    I bought this to replace an existing GE unit that died. I wanted to use the same bolt holes. Unfortunately, this unit doesn't have the fan blowing out the front, so I had to buy an adapter that pushed the front lip out past the cabinet and thus changed the bolt holes anyways. The unit itself is fine. It works like any other microwave should nowadays.

    It’s a very reliable microwave. It’s pretty basic. Nothing fancy, I’m not sure how long it’ll last but so far so good.

    New mIcrowave is much more powerful than its predecessor and has a rotating turntable which helps cook food more evenly. Couple of "old" features missing, however - no AM/PM or "delay cooking" feature, also does not work if food is placed in microwave too soon before turning on.

    This microwave is almost exactly the same as the one we replaced. I hope it lasts longer than the last one.

    Good but fan starts automatically when heating and fan is loud. I like controlling speed of fan when I feel need for fan.

    Pretty standard microwave, well built, has all the features you'd expect. My only gripe: it's very noisy when it starts up. Other than that, I have no complaints.

    Recently I purchased a new stove from the same line of products so I decided to upgrade my microwave to much my stove. Love the matte finish. Looks expensive. Very nice microwave. Much easier to maintain than the stainless steel one

    This is our second JVM3160RFSS. The first one died after 4 years - The fuse blew; replacement fuses blew, and then the breaker started tripping. Reading online, there is an issue with the door. With this one, we purchased the 5 year warranty, and now press pause, before opening the door, if the oven is still on. So far so good, after two months. We'll see what happens...

    This microwave is the same model we previously had because of the features we liked including a 30 second display button. Great for coffee. Easy to read display buttons are featured.

    Very nice microwave. Installation directions could have been more explicit about which side of cabinet to place template; went in easily after that. Cooks more evenly than my old whirlpool did!

    So happy with my new updated Microwave oven. It's quieter than the old one that started to catch on fire. Installer recommended one that would fit in the space with a backsplash and I couldn't be happier. Have to get used to new controls but so far so good!

    I purchased this to replace my GE microwave (2016 model) but the width was slightly larger than the older model. Hopefully this lasts longer than my previous microwave

    Glass front on microwave fogs up when using it for a few minutes. Also, installer had some problems with inside the cabinet vent. I will have to call someone to finish the job with the vent. It does work but vent is very loud.

    I bought this microwave as a replacement for one that I had which stopped working. I am extremely pleased with this one. For me the outstanding feature of this microwave is the light underneath is situated forward so that it lights up the pans on the front burners.All functions work as advertised.
