    Easiest Install Ever!

    So far so good! Purchased for the wife for Christmas as a replacement for a Goldstar MW that we purchased from BB over 20 years ago. Was pleasantly suprised after removing the old unit that the mounting plate and holes in the cabinet all matched up perfectly so all we had to do was simply put the GE in place. Took more time to unpack it than to actually install it! Works as it should and only time will tell if it lasts as long as the old one did!

    It's an easy-to-use microwave, conveniently sized to install on top of the stove. We use it frequently every day. This purchase was to replace the same model, which was nine years old. Backed by GE, a brand of excellence. I recommend it.

    We bought this unit along with our new range. Installation is straightforward if you ditch the template. Skip ahead in the instructions to "If you don't have a template" It's WAY easier that trimming and taping a piece of paper. As for the microwave... it's a microwave. It's powerful, cooks fast, and has a number of presets that make doing what you're doing easier. It's also attractive and easy to clean. The roomy interior has a large carousel plate, and the buttons are responsive to touch.

    This is a great upgrade from my last over the range. It’s quiet, and powerful. It also looks great in my kitchen! Didn’t take too long to install, just need 2 people.

    So far so good. This microwave works well without all the bells and whistles and was a great value. It doesn’t feel as substantial as the microwave I was replacing - the door is much lighter and the handle is plastic and I am hoping it hold up. It doesn’t have the most powerful vent fan if you are using the convertible option for internal venting but it’s functional. Overall it’s a pretty good microwave for the price and looks nice over my cooktop.

    Great. Simple, No Nonsense, Over the Range Microwave for usual daily grind. No fancy features which most of us don't use as Microwaves are used primarily for quick reheating only. Easy to install if you are trying to replace the old one as everything matches any other standard over the range microwaves. It replaced my 10 years old GE.

    Microwave seems to run great and looks really nice. However installing this thing took a redicilous amount of time as both templates in the box do not line up at all. I feel I deserve money from GE for all my wasted time. What should have taken an hour took 4 from all the times I had to remount this thing. You have to line up holes A+B but nothing else will match if you do. Do not use the centerline in the paper.

    It's space and easy to clean. The functions are what you would find on a typical basic microwave. It was easy to install over my range as it came with the mount. I wish however I could give it a 4.5 instead of just a 5 as there is just one minor issue being the filters underneath the unit once each hach slipped out. The may however come loose while installing or during shipping it is yet to be seen if it will happen again.

    I got this microwave at a very affordable price. It was on sale. I was very excited to get this microwave. So far so good no issues with it. I mounted it myself. I’m happily using this microwave after my other Samsung microwave quit working after just two years. The associate that helped me at Best Buy was also a wonderful person and helped me out so much. I really appreciate him and the time he took to help me pick the best one.

    Works fine - One design flaw!

    I chose this GE because our previous microwave was a GE so I assumed we would have no problem with it fitting properly in the existing space, but, well, it almost does. The design flaw is that the door hinge needs significant open space to the right (maybe like 1/2 inch?) to be able to open fully. We have Ikea cabinets so I'm pretty sure they are a very standard size - i.e. our situation can't possibly be unique. See the pics - we actually have about 1/8 in space for the door to open but it hits the adjacent cabinet when the door is halfway open. I checked our old GE and the door swivels "in place" (no extra room required) so I don't know why a new one would use a different design. Otherwise - it seems to work fine. (Well, ok, the fan and the beep both seem a bit loud, but that's minor.)

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
    • Brand response from GE Answers
      Posted .

      We are glad to hear that your new microwave is working fine. All 30" over-the-range microwaves are approximately the same width and are designed to fit into a 30" wide cabinet opening. The microwaves do not require air clearance on the sides. These models are installed between cabinets, and can be installed against a wall. If installed next to a deep cabinet or wall on the hinge side (left side), however, current models require 1/2" clearance on the hinge side for the door to open.

      Please see the installation instructions by visiting the Best Buy website for this model. Click the 'Features' tab, and than the 'Installation Guide' tab. GE_Appliances

    We have had this for almost two years and it still works at a high level. It still looks and works like it did straight out of the box. We had an issue finding the right size with the cutout above the stove and this was the closest to the previous one we had. Hopefully it will ladt longer.

    I like the microwave as it is identical almost to my last one. I do have one complaint and that is the noise or the material of the door. It seems to be a bit lighter than the last one. Other than that, it functions pretty good.
