    This microwave is VERY quiet, just slightly smaller than the other microwaves we looked at (which is perfect for our tight space). It's easy to install, easy to use, we are very pleased!

    Very easy to install with the supplied templates. Although it doesn't have a cooking probe, I never used it with the last one that I had. It is for the guest house, and more than sufficiently replaces the unit that cost three times as much before.

    My husband and I installed it. Make sure you read ALL the instructions before you put it up...hubby said he was all set then once it was all up I used the fan that night cooking supper and the house filled up with like smoke or whatever. It was because he didn't read one part of the instructions. The top of the microwave if your venting it outside you need to take the top off and turn the device the opposite way otherwise it vents it into your house. Had to take it back down the next day take that part off turn it and put it back up. So fyi, read ALL the instructions q

    Works great and runs so quietly. The buttons are smaller and arranged differently than the older model. It also feels like you have to push pretty hard.

    Great looking, functional and easy to use GE microwave at an affordable price! Our old overhead microwave called it quits and we needed a replacement. I love how this microwave is simple, straight to the point and does it’s job well without all of the hassle of complicated electronics and extra buttons you really don’t need from a microwave. Hope this will last 10+ years! 2 thumbs up!

    This review will not help much since I ended up returning this because it was too large for the opening I had to work with. I ended up returning it for a low-profile unit which gave me the added clearance I needed between the bottom of the microwave and the oven top.

    This microwave is easy to use and clean and fits perfectly over our electric range. Be careful with the plastic cover over the numbers and settings -- it scratches easily.

    This microwave replaced a previous GE Microwave. Works about the same. Quick heat ups. Easy to clean. The only problem is that the writing on the panel is a little light, making it sometimes hard to read.
