Great buy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far it has been a great purchase for the price!
I would recommend this to a friend Best Value
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We were searching for a microwave for my mom to replace her old above the range one. GE is one of the few that currently has the exhaust fan separate from the interior fan. That in itself was the main selling point. Works like a charm. The exhaust fan by itself is still loud, but we seldom need to use it.
I would recommend this to a friendNice Microwave

I would recommend this to a friendGE over the country micorwave.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pretty much like the last over the country GE microwave that lasted 9-1/2 years before it broke. The controls on this one are not as easily identified as the last one. It takes a while to get used to where the buttons are.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this microwave. The digram for installation was upside down which was a little tricky for installation. Also the vent is a little loud but I love the look, and all the options of this microwave.

Not So Happy
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I replaced an older model with this and decided not to buy a different brand because I did not want to hassle with changing mounting. This model is much noisier than the previous one. In fact the sides rattle at startup. I called G.E. to complain I was so irritated with the noise. The door clunks when opening and shutting. Not happy...

I would recommend this to a friendGood Microwave for space saving
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far this microwave is all that it advertised. Easy fit over range. The vent fan could be stronger. Beware of installation. The crew scratched up my oven and left a bit of a mess.

- Cons mentioned:Control panel
Can't use it if you can't see the control buttons
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The control panel is barely visible. This is a horrible design/programming flaw with this microwave. You can't see which buttons to push if it's not broad daylight.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend microwave is a convertible vent unit but.....
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Microwave is nice.... but Q&A from GE said Microwave was set up for internal (inside your home) venting....and if you wanted to vent externally, you needed to modify the fan assembly.... that was not true, the Microwave was set up to vent externally...and it took me an hour to modify the fan assembly to vent inside the kitchen..(vent internally) too bad the answers in the Q&A were incorrect...

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am very please with this microwave. I was happy to see that it had a feature to keep the turntable from turning. That was always a problem for me with my old microwave if I had a larger rectangular dish that was too large to rotate.

Great Microwave for a beginner cooker

I would recommend this to a friend Great for what we needed
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great product for the price. The style is nice and operation is simple. We were replacing a 20 year old unit and I was worried about finding same size to fit the area. No problem with new unit. Bust Buy installed it without any problems.
I would recommend this to a friendOperates as advertised
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased as a replacement for one that no longer worked. The operation is the same but the buttons are inn a different configuration so that has a learning curve to operate. Would be nice if the buttons could be backlit for us early risers.

Good basic microwave
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My only complaint is the buttons to operate the microwave are very dark and hard to see, however, it works great and that's what is important.
