    Reasonably priced and you get what you pay for. Slightly smaller than your average over the range microwave with a minimum of functions. Biggest drawback is that it is extremely noisy. Sounds like you have the fan on full blast every time you nuke something.

    We bought this one to replace a similar model by the same company. The prior microwave lasted 10 years. This one is a little quieter looks and works about the same.

    DO NOT BUY THIS MICROWAVE. Ours was installed yesterday and last night we noticed that the control panel does not light up. The picture you see on the internet is deceiving. It looks like you can see the white buttons but the buttons are not as visible as they are in the photo. We are now stuck with a microwave that was hardwired into our cabinets that we have to use a flashlight to be able to see the buttons. Also, the motor sounds slow. It heats and cooks fine, but when you push start, there's a 1-2 second delay for the motor to turn on.

    I originally bought the white trim microwave, but exchanged it for the stainless steel trim. The stainless steel has a great mix of black & stainless. It was easy to install on my own.

    So far it's working well. Replaced our other GE that crapped out on us. The white LED is annoying, but the oven works well. Good options for cooking.

    I had this microwave for 10 months. It worked great, nice features and perfect size. Recently, the clock and timer light has been flickering. Also, weve been having difficulties entering the minutes to warm an item. We are forced to keep hitting the 30 sec. Button until we get to the desired time.
