    Needed a microwave that a mother in law could handle without us getting phone calls on how to use daily. Very easy to use. Easy to find buttons. Best part was the best buy employees that helped us. We went to a home improvement store and stood around, asked for help, waited for more 15 mins before we left. It's hard to walk through a best buy without getting asked if you need help. Will come back for future purchases just cause of the service. Thank you!

    This is a basic microwave but it does everything we need it to do. It's easy to use. The stovetop light is great. So many microwaves have dim stovetop lighting but this one is really bright. The only downside to this microwave is the clock display. The numbers are very close together and hard to read. Everything else is great

    During the pandemic our GE Microwave stopped working along with our hot water heater & a few roof shingles flew off our roof during a bad rain storm. You know the old saying, when it rains it pours. We felt like we were being tested everything was happening at once. When looking for a replacement Best Buy had the best price & My husband was able to install it and it’s perfect for our kitchen

    I loved my previous countertop GE for over 16 years so I figured I would get a new one when I needed to replace my over the range Samsung in my newly moved into house, only thing was the Samsung only lasted a year. So I immediately went out to look for a GE, It has the same wattage as my old GE but that CT(countertop) one melted 2Tbsp of butter in <30 secs. This one takes at least 45-60 secs, so it does not seem as powerful. My wife does like the defrosting capabilities on this model, because "it actually defrosts" unlike our previous GE model which seemed to cook and thaw at the same time. I like the dual speed fan and dual dimness of the light and now to what I do not like...GE I hope you are listening. GE who designed the setup for the keypad configuration? The add 30 sec button is 'hidden' inside all the rest of the keys, why not put it near the bottom near the cancel and start buttons. and the cook time button? (yes some people like to use their microwave to melt butter for 45 seconds) it is lost inside the sea of confusion trying to find that function button. All in all I like the microwave and it is a good buy at under 200 and I do recommend it, but I just do not like the control button setup.

    I bought this microwave for two reasons: (1) it got a good rating from Consumer Reports and (2) it was attractively priced, having a $50 discount. Installation was reasonably priced and very quick. I love this microwave for three reasons: (1) it cooks more evenly and better than any microwave I have ever had; (2) the timer can be operated while cooking with the microwave; and (3) it has one-touch express cooking.

    I was so happy with my purchase that I had to write a review to tell you. My old microwave died at 6:00am on Saturday and I had this new one installed by 8:00 pm the same day. I took the measurements and bought the new one online, picked it up and installed it all ourselves. Perfect!
