    This microwave is easy to use and is big enough for all of things we do. The buttons are hard to see at night. Wish the timer was a little louder.

    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!

    Love this microwave! It fit right in the space we had, and the features are just what we needed. Takes 2 people to install as it is heavy.

    This microwave worked great for a year and a half. Then the display started to flicker. The function was just fine, but the display should last longer.

      If you have not already done so, we recommend disconnecting the power to your microwave for 2-3 minutes to reset the electronics. If the issue persists once the power is restored, please reach out to us (GE Appliances) via private message on Facebook, X, or Instagram so that we may learn more about your situation. Make sure to include your full model and serial numbers, any service confirmation or case numbers you have, along with a copy of this review. GE_Appliances

    We have been using this microwave for a couple of months and it has been working out great for us. Has all the features that we need and seems very well made. Would recommend this microwave for anyone looking for a good solid machine at a decent price.

    This has less room top to bottom inside than my old unit. Looks nice. Works well. I am short so it is harder for me to stir something while still inside.

    I bought this GE Spacesaver microwave to replace a higher end GE Spacesaver. I never used all the bells and whistles on the older GE so a basic microwave was all I needed. The microwave does the job and I am happy with the purchase. I was disappointed that the bracket did not match the old microwave - which is one of the reasons I stayed with GE - so the installation was quite a pain and took much longer than I had hoped. The only negative comment I have is that the numbers on the digital display are very close together and can be difficult to read. Other than that, everything is great. Very good product for the price.

    Well, that is because I am a good cook, but, this helps when reheating. I installed my self, and it was pretty easy - standard microwave and good for the price.

  • GE Microwave Uncertainty

    Associate planned to give me a dented and torn box that looked repackaged. I said I won't accept this one because inventory showed 5 pieces in stock. He wasn't happy about going back and getting me a better looking carton. As for the microwave, I'm hoping to get at least 5 years out of it. The same previous model lasted 6 1/2 years. I had a Panasonic Microwave prior to purchasing GE and that one gave me 16 wonderful years of service. Engineers are now hired to make new units fail right after the warranty expires. This is the new norm. Get ready for it. That's all I can say.
