    Replace my Whirlpool microwave which died after 3 years, it was acting up 1 year into it and then the door sensor stop working, then sparks were flying outside the microwave. Never get whirlpool! So I went with the trusted brand GE. I mean I can’t complain for the price, it’s not bad. Only thing I think can be better is the panel. The entire thing is a soft plastic that I feel if I press hard it will rip. Even the clock area is soft. I hope this one last over 3 years.

    We needed a white over the stove microwave and did not want lots of bells and whistles. This GE fit the bill for something nice looking, quiet and easy to clean. Nice dimensions inside and out. Good price.

    Love the microwave, don't love the installation template. Very difficult to install, even with 2 able bodied people. Professional installation should be recommended or a "difficult installation" disclaimer should be placed on all above the range microwaves!

    Decent GE Replacement, but...

    Bought as a replacement for GE Cafe microwave that was 10 yrs old. This one was a near perfect fit/replacement. But word of advice, make sure old wall bracket is EXACTLY the same as the bracket included with the new microwave. Our old one was slightly off, but has an excellent hold and is level. One thing I noticed is that the interior microwave gets hot when the surface lights over stove are on alone (and microwave has not been used). A bit bizarre because our previous microwave didn't do that. I believe the lights are halogen, and they do get hot to touch so be careful. Wonder if they can be replaced with LED? Will have to look that up in the future...if they can, then this becomes a non-issue. The buttons are good, but unable to see well in low light settings. Wish they were pre-lit, but for this price range may be a tough ask. If you eventually memorize where to press over next few weeks, should be a non-issue. We are happy with it, and price was decent. Another word of advice, get a buddy or spouse to help install it. I'm 145 lb and this was a heavy beast to install on my own, lifting above my head on a bracket away from my body over a built in stove. I nearly got an umbilical hernia (not joking) trying to be superman and install it myself. Not worth it, will hire somebody next time. I really hope this holds up, as a microwave it does a good job like the old one, but the heat buildup when lights are on is a bit weird as I mentioned. Looks sharp in our kitchen. Decent replacement.

    Quieter than previous GE model, but the buttons are hard to read and in low light almost impossible. Works great and I am. Concerned over time I will have the same trouble with this one that I did with the old one. They seem to have the same door latch mechanism for allowing the microwave function. Really satisfied overall. I did have to resort to going to an actual store as the online system allowed me to purchase a product that wasn't, in fact, in stock.

    This replaces a 15 year old model that died. Looks the same and has all the same functions, which is to say, everything we need it to do. Didn’t go for any of the new fancier options (different ways of cooking, etc). This has very quiet operation compared to last one, a white clock light, and was easy enough to install. Only issue was after removing grill at top for the install, upon replacement, the door always clicks loudly upon opening. Haven’t been able to figure a way to fix that after multiple attempts.

    Ease of use. The bottons reqire a little more pressure than my old unit but for the price, you can't beat the functions. The fan is not loud even on high and the light has two settings.
