Customer Ratings & Reviews

My family and I really like this new microwave. Bought it as a replacement and wanted stainless finish. Sure glad that we found this G.E. as it fit perfect, is quiet to operate, was easy to install, and has just been a great replacement for the old one that we had.

works great, no issues since it’s been installed. sleek design

Reviews were promising, and we have not been disappointed. Installation instructions were pretty straight forward, as were some online videos I found. Was easy to do. Fits, looks and works great!

We picked this one on other reviews that described this oven as "quiet." We weren't disappointed. While it is far from silent, compared to the one it replaced (which sounded like a jet engine) we are very pleased. It's also bigger inside. Installed fine though instructions were typically sparse. Happy so far with its performance. Hopefully it lives longer than it's predecessor which died after only a couple years. Controls are intuitive. Only miss having a butter melt/soften button. One thing that surprised me--the entire front is the door, not just the lower section with the handle and glass, so it feels kind of bulky when you open it. But that's not really a problem. Who knows. It might be part of why it is quieter.

Sleek look and easy to clean. Went back and forth on this. Plus the install team was amazing.

Purchased online for in-store pickup. Microwave was easy to install and has worked great! Price at BestBuy beat other comparable brands at other retailers.

Perfect size for my kitchen, looks great, easy to use, easy to install over the range with everything provided. Great value.

Bought this to replace my old GE Spacemaker. Got the first one with unaligned door and replaced with a new. Build quality is so plasticky not as solid as the old spacemaker. Mounting bracket has only two screws instead of four. Similar operation logic and functions to the old. Hopefully it can last for 15 years as my old one was.

Nice looking, works great, good price! Was easy to install

We needed to replace our old microwave and this fit the space perfectly! I really appreciate how quiet this one runs. Our previous one was only 7 years old, but it was louder. I also like that the surface light really does light up my stovetop. When I bought my previous one I was told those lights were only useful as a night light. The only thing I don't like is that the display is a white light. My refrigerator is blue and my range is green! The white, and the font look cheap in my opinion.

Easy to use and fits nicely with my kichen. Like the express cooking, for an option

First, I'm easy to please, and don't use the microwave for anything more complicated than heating up frozen food or boiling water. I've not tested out any of the more advanced features, and can't comment on them. I read a bunch of online reviews in making a product selection, and overall most people seemed pleased with this unit. The complaints seemed to be about minor stuff, like the button labels being hard to see in low light or the dark, which is true, but it doesn't bother me (I turn on the overhead light so I can see the buttons). I installed the unit myself, am not a pro, just a regular old DIYer. Installation was straightforward, the instructions were clear, and all the parts I needed were present. I ended up using some different lag bolts because the ones included with the install kit are not very beefy: they take a philips head, or you can use a 3/8 or 1/2 ratchet (can't remember which), and the philips receptacle on the screw stripped out quickly when applying a reasonable amount of torque. I tossed them and used the stainless lag bolts with a square head inset from the last install. The instructions seemed a little bit unclear to me about how the fan blower motor housing needs to be manipulated. The pictures are good, but I believe some of the words are in error. But if you understand what the basic premise is of what you're doing, it will work out fine. The instructions provide a drilling template for the overhead screws, and everything matched up well. The mounting plate seemed a little bit flimsy, but seems to work fine. It fit perfectly into the spot where the previous microwave went, and the microwave unit itself also fit perfectly. As far as operation goes, I found the unit to be quieter than its predecessor, and can't say if this unit is more or less quiet than other current units. It does what it is supposed to do, heat stuff up. I like the way the rotating plate sits on the spindle. It is simple and works well. I also like the generous amount of light the unit provides from the bottom of the unit to the top of the stove. The door feels solid, and the open/close internal latching mechanism also has a solid feel to it. It has been in operation now for about a month, with no hiccups or trouble. If things change, I'll update this review accordingly.

I had no idea hat kjnd of microwave I needed. I only had the outside measurements. My salesperson, who's name I can not remember, was so helpful. I had narrowed it down to a couple but I needed to talk to my contractor. He told me they would only be on sale until the end of that day. Sales pitch, maybe?? I went to my car, called my contractor for advice then I googled Best Buy. Sure enough, the ad said on sale until that date. I went back in and bought the microwave we had decided on. The guy went to the storeroom to make sure it was in stock, brought it out for me, then got another guy and they loaded it into my SUV for me! Wonderful!

Easy to install. Works great. Great price. Matches other appliances well.

Love the Microwave. Was replacing another brand of microwave and wanted a GE stainless steel microwave to go with my other GE appliances and had certain dimensions to fill the opening of my old microwave and this microwave filled the spot perfectly. Works great and love the clean look of the stainless steel outside.

We are replacing an older model of this same microwave by GE. It is their basic, no-frills model, which is just what we wanted. The mounting brackets for this newer model were slightly different so the replacement was little more complicated than we originally expected. We are happy with it so far.

Deal of the day. Got this on sale. We needed a 36” but no one makes those anymore so this was the next best size. . Easy to install. Fan motor was already in the correct position. Works great and matches my other GE stainless appliances.
