    When the night light function is utilized the entire bottom and inside of this unit get hot, without use. The unit is solid and should have a perpencity to last, however the motor has a louder hum than our previous over-the-range microwave.

    Good midline microwave. When installing, be careful not to put too much pressure on bottom as it will easily bend. Still fully functional though.

    This GE is quieter than my previous Maytag. Install instructions were better than average. The template to use for drilling holes proved useful. Would have liked it to have matched the hole layout from previous but all makes seem to be different More expensive ones have more features but I can't think of a one I'd actually use.

    Along with the other cooking functions, it actually reheats food thoroughly, something that neither my Samsung or LG could do. Recommend!
