    GE microwave

    First GE microwave lasted 17 years, second one lasted 3 years (beyond totally disappointed). Replacement was installed a little over 2 weeks ago (keep going with GE because of color match options), and it was horribly noisy, grilles missing at the front top of door, and microwave was venting out of the intake and into the kitchen, and the 13.5 inch turntable (per GE specs) was 12 inches. Best Buy customer service was awesome and reordered the microwave. Installation crew came 2 days ago and removed the microwave that was installed 2 weeks ago and showed us - those installers hadn’t aligned the exhaust with the vent, bent the exhaust door so it wouldn’t open, resulting in the air venting out the intake and horrible noise. The crew that came 2 days ago was awesome, installed the unit correctly and demonstrated that it works properly. This unit has the grilled, has a 13.5 inch turntable, is quiet, and works properly.

    Picked this microwave up on sale. Couldn’t beat the price. Microwave wasn’t expensive, but has all the features I need. Installation technician that installed the microwave covered the area before beginning installation and picked up after himself when finished. Very happy with this purchase. Worth the money and would definitely recommend.

    This machine is quiet, easy to use and has handy "Express" features. I cook in the microwave a great deal! I chose white to coordinate with other appliances and it wipes clean nicely. I liked the price and the installation went well. I recommend this microwave … and I've had several throughout my (long) cooking career.

    In-store on 08/06/23, we ordered the GE 1.6 cu. ft. over-the-range stainless steel microwave. On 08/10/23, Best Buy installers came and installed the microwave, but, when we went in the kitchen to look at it (before they left), we saw that they had installed a white microwave! The installers communicated with Best Buy and verified that we ordered the stainless steel one. Since it was their error, they left the white one that they had installed, but we had to wait until 08/28/23 to get a stainless steel one installed. As for the microwave, the buttons on the white one were very hard to push. We thought it might be a fluke, but the buttons on the stainless steel one are also extremely difficult to push, even after 3 months of use. Also, the "Timer" button and the "Cook Time" button are right beside each other (the "Cook Time" button is right above the "Timer" button). That is extremely annoying, as we all routinely accidentally hit the "Timer" button when intending to hit the "Cook Time" button. Then, it is difficult to get it cleared and hit the right button. Also, if you heat something and the cycle completes but you don't remove the food, you can't add more time or start heating again unless you open the door (somehow the microwave "believes" the microwave is empty, even though the food you originally put in the microwave is still in it!). That is also rather annoying. The clear glass plate (that you put the food on to heat) is smaller than in our old microwave- even though the interior of the microwaves seems to be the same size. The bottom of the microwave isn't flat, but, instead, has some indentations on the bottom sides, which I find makes it difficult to clean (you can't easily just wipe out the bottom; crumbs or whatever get down in the indentations and it's harder to wipe those out, since the space is lower than the rest of the microwave). As for cooking/reheating food... it's a microwave. Nothing unusual/different about it. Overall, we like it fine, though I do really wish it didn't have the issues described above (buttons hard to push; indentations in the microwave 'floor' that gather crumbs, etc.)

    GE Microwave

    Although this is a very nice microwave, it is not the identical model I ordered. The model number has an additional letter in it. The one I ordered had 2 lights under and this one has only one which was not bright enough. I had to take the cover off the light to get sufficient light. I called and customer service was quite helpful but no one could figure out what happened so I did not pursue it any further.

    This microwave was reasonably priced and looks as if it's been there forever. (It was a replacement)...installer said it was very smooth and easy to set up. Best part of shopping, the amazing man who was so knowledgeable and helpful in store...Cecil, I think.

    Ive had this for two years now and it was a great buy. I ordered it online, picked up in store. I was able to install this alone but it would be better with two people. It came with a template for the wall to make it very easy. The buttons arent that easy to press. Sometimes you have to press a little hard to get the button to work. Its easy to clean too which is nice.
