    Solid Microwave

    Just replaced my old GE microwave with this model. The price was good (on sale), and it fit almost perfectly into the same spot above the stove. Install wasn't bad, just switched out the wall mounts (they were slightly different) and drilled a couple new anchors into the cabinet above. Looks very similar to the older model (was about 8 years older), just a little sleeker. Very similar functionality, about what you would expect at this price point, with a couple extra buttons that are handy. I just hope this one lasts 10+ years, I don't think that is too much to ask, but GE isn't what they use to be.

    I thought for a GE brand this was at an excellent price point. I also believe for it being a standard size unit, it will fit in most standard size homes and will be installed without any troubles at all

    The microwave works really well and is very easy to keep clean. I like that it has a one button touch preset for 30 seconds, 1, 2,3, 4, 5, AND 6 minutes. This is very convenient. The other presets (popcorn, beverage, reheat, defrost, etc.) have all worked very well. The vent fan doesn’t suck up much, but it has 2 settings, though it is very loud. The vent will automatically go on if the stove beneath gets too hot. It was not easy to install, but we were retrofitting it after our old one broke, so maybe that was to be expected. Overall, solid appliance.

    This microwave was a replacement for an 11 year old similar style GE that finally gave out. I was able to place in the same spot and it has worked perfectly as the replacement. Best Buy shipped to my door!

    Granted I was updating a dinosaur of a microwave but was amazed to hear or not hear how quiet this is. I needed a smaller size for my kitchen and this more than fits the bill. Beverage and defrost settings are spot on.

    We love GE and this microwave didn't disappoint us. For the price and functions it's a great deal. The only thing I would like would be the vent fan which is very powerful be deflectve more toward the upper front and not straight up into the cabinet doors.

    Good microwave, I just wish that they would tell you in order to know what the presets for reheating and defrost are you have to go to there website. Putting a number there is not helpful unless you know what said number means. Otherwise it is a great little microwave.
