    Easy to install, and the price was GREAT!!!!! The stainless steel color blended well with the other stainless steel appliances that I have. It also does not leave fingerprints!

    After 16 years of the original microwave that came my house, the day finally came when I needed to replace it. I wasn’t looking for something super fancy, just something that fit in the space and could heat our food. Settled on his model. Installation was straight forward, although I did have to drill new holes in the cabinets for the power cord...no biggie. Also make sure your setting up the venting option appropriately. Only thing I would have liked to see on this model is a backlit night mode for the controls. Other than that...this is a good item.

    This unit replaces an older GE model with a faulty magnetron (2yr run). So far, it works well and has adequate features that meet my needs. Hopefully it lasts longer than the one it replaced.

    The light on it is white, not green. That was a disappointment as my other GE appliances do have the green light so I thought that was nice, but nope, white light, not green. Now, other than that, this is an excellent microwave. Plenty of room for large oval plates, tall glasses/thermo. Simply press 1, 2 or 3 for 1, 2 or 3 minutes. Easy. It really has every feature "and" more. Very nice microwave, but why show a green light when it is white? Oh well. I would not return this as it's just too nice otherwise.

    They no longer make the Maytag microwave so we went with the GE. The size is about the same and we needed that biscuit color. So far, no more tripping breaker and is defrosting as it should.
