    This GE microwave is similar to the initial one in the house. Works well and is not overly complicated. Does the job well for the price paid.

    Decent mid priced microwave. You need two people to install as I had my neighbor help me. If you don't know what you're doing, have a pro install this item (over the range microwave)

    I bought this microwave 18 months ago. It looked GREAT and worked pretty well for the price. However, a few days ago, the unit completely lost power. It won’t turn on at all. Here I am now, a year and a half later, making a purchase for another GE microwave. It’s very frustrating.

    I regard GE products as solid and bought a microwave at Best Buy. However, when we opened and checked the parts against the manual, some where missing. So, we had to return it.

    When we bought the under the counter microwave we paid almost $120.00for installation. We tried to book an appointment to have it installed but the store clerk could not seem to book it. He told me to call the phone number. I tried several times to call and was told there was over an hour wait each time. I left my number for a call back. When I got a call back still no one was able to schedule installation. I was told no one in the area does installation. Well then why in the world would I get charged for something that was not even available! Crazy. I had to find someone on my own to do it.

    DO NOT BUY THIS MICROWAVE

    DO NOT BUY THIS MICROWAVE. Loud Vent fan comes on automatically every time regardless of whether your range is on. We believed it was a product defect & had a technician from GE come take a look, and their explanation was that the new microwave units have only one fan rather than two, and therefore will automatically come on every time to regulate the internal temperature. Doesn't make much sense. The signage in the microwave itself and in the manual states "Vent fan may start automatically" but the word "May" doesn't imply that it will start automatically every time. Look elsewhere.

    Big Power surge when door is opened

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The microwave looks nice and is somewhat understandable to operate. Unfortunately, 13-months, three days after I purchased it, it died (12m warranty). At first it would blow a breaker frequently when I would open the door with it turned on. When I finally moved it to its own circuit, it must have pushed too much current and fried the internals. The clock display is ok, but also hard to read from a distance. I suggest looking for alternatives.

    Turntable confusion

    I cannot figure out why the turn table does not consistently turn. Obviously I am missing the boat in the sequence of button pressing, it is supposed to default to turntable on after each setting. I had a service tech come out during the warranty period, of course it didn’t fail. What am I missing?

    After one year of purchasing this product, it broke down. It had a 2-year warranty. When the service team came to my house, they saw a cockroach next to the microwave and said that the warranty did not cover it because there were cockroaches in the house. They left without performing any service.
