    We love our new Microwave! We purchased it to go with the new range. Our old unit was quickly giving out so we decided to go with this GE unit which has good ratings on Consumer reports. It fits nicely above the range. Our appliances were installed efficiently by a Third Party team.

    Works fine. Installation instructions were easy enough that I was able to install it myself with a drill & bits, and included hardware. You might need a stud finder if doing first install not a replacement.

    the product footprint was different than the GE microwave it replaced. It seems more powerful but is a little noiser.

    This model fits perfectly over my oven and works wonders! I didn't need the ones with the invite buttons for all different situational functions, so this fits my preferences and (more importantly) my budget.

    Purchased to replace the same model which failed after about a decade of use. Suspect the redirect vent flow setup at our house was part of the failure, but decided that 10 years of heavy use was acceptable. For the price, you can't beat the features, even if the touchpad is starting to look a little dated.

    It looks elegant, low noise, easy to instal, I replaced the lights by led bulbs and I like it better. I dont give five stars because keypad is dificult to read in low light and door closing mechanism feel cheap. I am afraid to break it anytime I open it.

    this microwave was basically an updated version of our old microwave. It's reliable and simple - no convection oven functions (we have an oven for that). The install service costs the same amount as the microwave itself so we chose to DIY. Instructions were straightforward and just required time and muscle. We've been happy with it so far.

    This exactly the "over the stove" microwave oven we were looking for. We bought on sale and since we had signed up for the total tech, installation and delivery were free. Saved $200 over a sears micro that was never delivered after 3 months.
