Very good Microwave for the money
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We are very pleased with this microwave. Controls are easy to use and the inside is quite roomy and taller than our old one which is good. We do have two minor complaints. One is the exhaust fan is pretty noisy especially on high but it does work well. The second is the labeling on the buttons is relatively small and subtle, good for overall appearance but hard to read in low light. Otherwise, its a good product and what we expected.

Like the Product, BUT
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I REALLY like the microwave! It's quiet, efficient and convenient. No problems there. I appreciated that given the wide window of the appointment, the installers came early. However, they seemed to be in such a hurry to accomplish their mission that they left a mess of sawdust and didn't even wipe out the cupboard above the microwave. They were finished in less than 40 minutes but left a mess behind.

Beautiful and high performant
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Looks beautiful and very powerful. Best Buy Total tech installation is really awesome. They hauled away from old microwave and installed this one. It only took 3 days from the day I ordered to the day it was installed. I would recommend this microwave for someone looking for a budget friendly and high performant appliance.

Average quality
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this one instead of the old GE JVM 1630 that I had, which finally gave up the ghost and repairing it would cost more than this model. This one is, in a word, disappointing. Pros: it's about the same size so it fit ok in the existing space. It also has 2 vent fan speeds and placement of the vent is about the same as on the old one, so I did not have to change the duct. But otherwise I think it doesn't stack up to the 10+ year old model. It seems flimsy, LED display is smaller than on the old model, turntable is also smaller. It's a lot louder when it's running and seems to not be as powerful - heating up a cup of water in the old oven took 1.5 minutes, but this one does not get it hot enough on the same amount of time. It looks and feels cheap. I bought this one after reading the online manual thinking that I can reuse the holes from the old mounting, but the unit I got has a 'new installation' kit, which only has small horizontal bracket, instead of a large rectangular bracket that I expected. So I still had to drill 3 new holes in the wall. Placement of top retaining screws is also different, so 2 more new holes had to drilled in the bottom of the cupboard. So overall lots of work for quality and looks that doesn't compare to a 10 year old model.

So far so good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We've only had this item installed for a week or two but so far it's great. Easy to use, quiet, efficient, and good-looking. Nice to have a product of the same brand as the stove just below it.

Good microwave
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Excellent customer service
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I placed this order online for store pick-up. I received a call within an hour that the item was ready for pick-up, but there was an issue with the last one in stock and asked that I come by the store to inspect. The salesperson who called and the department manager handled everything in an efficient and satisfactory manner, rewrapping the item after inspection, and delivering it to my car. The microwave is working fine and was easy to install because I was replacing a similar older model.

Great Value. Decent Microwave.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Not as Shown
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Microwave works great, however, if you are looked for the model in the photo, you will not get it. The model is completely changed and will not match previously installed models, meaning the installation will need to be from scratch.

Posted .While we’re glad the microwave is working well for you, we know not getting the model you expect must be concerning. If you received a different model than the one you purchased and want to reach out to Best Buy about this, their customer service is available at 1 (888) 237-8289. If you received the model you ordered but aren’t happy with its design, we can advise that as well as similar models being released over time, design changes may also be made to models over the years. For over-the-range microwaves, we can also advise the hardware (including the mounting bracket) that comes with the new unit should be used. Changes may have been made to the hardware design even if the model is the same, and we cannot speak to the compatibility, safety and reliability of using old hardware with a new microwave. Your feedback regarding this experience is truly appreciated, and will be shared with our team for consideration. -Sarah@GEAppliances
