Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

This is one of the best microwaves i have ever purchased. Beautiful, easy to install, and was exactly as described.

My parents have purchased this same microwave twice now works good but the quality of parts sucks!! being a electrician i ordered new limit switches for the door on the 1st unit, couple years later display board quit working, 2nd unit put up and 1 week later the crazy thing was turning on off buy its self the 3rd this one still going keep your fingers crossed.

Our new microwave works better than the old one. The power level is much better than before. the cooking time has been reduced by 10 %. The fan is much more quiet.

Very good Microwave. I bought it as a replacement to my old GE Microwave which was the same size and was able to install it in place of the old one, in no time. Works well!

Works great. Easy to use. Big on the inside, with a big plate. A bit loud. Easy to install if you have installed one before.

Huge microwave with many functions easy to use. The price was great. Quality is so good

We really like this microwave. It is simple to use yet provides all the functionality one could want. And I love its sleek, clean look.

Microwave works fine. It is not quite as sturdy as the previous GE model that we had. Door sounds a little shallow when you close it, but otherwise there are no problems.

Happy with model no frills. Works fine,quieter than my old on

New. Easy to install. Works great Easy to configure

Needed it in a pinch, was in stock. Mounted easily, runs quietly. Perfect for what I was looking for.

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

Works as intended, quiet, easy to install, did it myself

The microwave unit is quiet. Two levels of under unit lighting, Slow speed fan is very quiet. Heats items very nicely. Easy to use and clean and even install. Did not match my recent LG unit's frame so I had to drill holes for the back frame bracket and new holes for the top in the kitchen cabinets (LG died 1.5 years after purchase, no service plan, from HD and box was damaged). After installation I noticed that the door does not open. All tape was removed. It turns out that the top plastic fan / air grill interferes with the door mechanism near the hinge side. I am running the microwave without the top grill at the moment. Need to call service as I bought the full service 5 year plan for this one. Also note that one month after I bought the unit I was hired by a Best Buy store also. I have to note that here according to a rule. The issue appears to be just a plastic grill cutting issue and not on the actual microwave. I am giving this a good overall rating because, I have been using a table top microwave on a bedside like table (in the kitchen) and it is very inconvenient, and this one has brought such relief and ease of use and convenience.

Very good microwave. Perfect fit and easy to install. Fan a little too noisy.
