    i recognize that there are more advanced models in the store, but for what i wanted, this is perfect. i found that the install was pretty straightforward (once i conceded i couldn't just hang it where the old one was) and the form and function is precisely what i was seeking.

    I bought this to replace an older version of the same microwave. The old one lasted ten years. It is a basic microwave that woks well. My only frustration is that the new one has mounting holes in different places than the old one. It is an unnecessary change that caused some frustration.

    Love this microwave and all its features. Easy to install with help of a second person! We have had 0 problems, easy to clean as well! Love the fact that you do not need to press any button to open its microwave door!

    This microwave has made a great addition to our appliances. It’s super quiet most of the time. The reason I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5 stars is sometimes it sounds like the turn table is getting stuck yet there is nothing for it to catch on.

    After having to replace my Frigidaire microwave twice in 5 years, I chose the more solid GE and it was worth it. It was worth breaking away from the set for this more sturdy and stable microwave. It is a great choice and price point, we highly recommend.

    This microwave is excellent for the price. It's quiet, efficient & has very nice features. Best Buy had the very best price I was able to fine and it was delivered to my local store for free. It replaced a older GE microwave, so installation was easy. I can highly recommend it.

    This over the range microwave replaced one from another manufacturer that failed after 6 years of use. This one had all the features that we wanted at a reasonable price. It is attractive and seems to be well made. It meets all of our needs and works well so far.

    A solid budget friendly microwave. It may be missing some of the bells and whistles of some more expensive models, but it gets the job done. The glass turntable is remarkably larger than many of the high-end brands.

    I purchased this microwave to replace my previous one, manufactured by another maker, but in the same price family. This microwave performs the basic functions of heating and defrosting quite well. No frills, no extras, but it gets the job done!
