    a solid choice for a basic, no-frills microwave

    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.

    I am overall satisfied - with the appearance, the features, & the price. However, the touch screen requires an unusually firm press, sometimes needing to be repeated, & causing me to wonder if this won't limit the longevity, as well as the door handle requiring a strong pull to open as opposed to a release button under the handle as I am accustomed to.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Amazing product! Incredibly easy to install and very user-friendly. I bought this as a replacement for my old one, and as a woman, I was initially nervous about installing it myself. However, the process was surprisingly simple, quick, and hassle-free. It’s also lightweight, which made handling it even easier. Highly recommend!

    So far so good after 1 week of use. I bought the cheapest brand name appliance because most, if not all, appliances are made to last 5-7 years. So why spend more. This microwave does what i need it to do.

    Good microwave but part of top grill blocks door

    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.

    I had to unexpectedly purchase this microwave during the Covid-19 Pandemic stay at home restrictions, following multiple Earthquakes that hit my area during the stay at home restrictions, If the pandemic itself was not enough to worry about. The earth had to shake things up a bit more! I believe my other one, which was not that old, must have had a power surge during the initial 5.7 earthquake. fortunately that my only real damage. And this was not a good time to be without a microwave, for sure. you can not be at stay at home restrictions during a pandemic and NOT have a microwave! I got online, ordered this microwave and had my brother help me install. I chose GE because I was replacing a GE and hoped all the mounting hardware would match up. The bracket did, but had to drill new holes for the mounting screws. all in all, it was installed in about a half hour. It is quieter than my old one, which I am very happy with. The old one had more features but this one has plenty for my needs. The only thing I can say I wish was different, is.. My old one had green digital lights for the time and such, that matched all my other appliances, but this one has white digital lights. wish it had the same display lights, but I will get used to it. I would recommend this microwave. It looks good, installed easily for my situation and is quiet. The last thing I want to say is THANK YOU Best Buy for being open for curb side pickup during a very different time in the world and being open and available to me when I need this item. Thank you!

    Initially I shied away from this model because I thought it was too big for the small space I had. So I picked another one which turned out to be the wrong size. But the installer made some suggestions, and I went back to the first model. Second installer was also great - got it DONE! I've been using it daily and am very satisfied.
