Customer Ratings & Reviews

Overall, im liking the performance so far. Looks good too

I don't "trust" consumer reports for everything. I remember one time they down rated a great motorcycle (I liked and bought) because they tested it and found the flip up gas cap popped up after a crash. What about the positive weighting of great handling, rocket ship acceleration, great hardware etc. The GE 3160 microwave tested well. However, I have found these inexpensive microwaves have small power supplies that tend to burn out more easily. Look at the more expensive computers and you will see nice heavy duty power supplies compared to the budget computers. The average life of microwaves is around 9 years and I will be happy if I get that lifespan from this inexpensive unit. The big issue with this microwave is the flimsy door and chassis. The door is not rigid and the closure is locked via 2 fragile plastic clips. Others have complained about this and once one of the clips cracks it is all over. SOLUTION: Do not slam the door. When you close the door bring so so gently. In one motion close the door up to the 2 holes that lock the 2 door door clips without closing the door all the way. Be sure the 2 male clips are aligned into the openings, then GENTLY push the door home so the clips lock in place. Lotsa luck and hope this helps you.

Once my son ran my microwave for 1 hour on a holiday weekend as a timer, we had no microwave. We found this on the website and went on our roadtrip through a storm. We arrived and they only had one left! We had a nice sales person retrieve our prize and head home without any issue, it seemed too easy. Once we got home it fit perfectly! Ever since me and boy boy smile every time we use it, thinking back to that stormy weekend and this microwave saved the holiday!

Bought as a replacement for the same model. Mounting bracket is different. Did not have to remove old bracket. Two center tabs on old bracket but no center slots on microwave. Bending the two center tabs allowed microwave to securely mount without replacing bracket. Had 3 cabinet screws on old one but only 2 on new one. Required drilling of 1 new hole to mount under cabinet.Appears to have a better exhaust fan. Light is brighter on high but is basically a nightlight on low. Clock is brighter than old one. Controls function the same.

Product size and unit works perfectly, and as expected.

A good, solid but very basic microwave. Doesn’t have any significant Convenience Cooking functions beyond Popcorn and Potato. The unit has a hollow sound when closing the door and the vent is pretty loud. It was inexpensive and fit the opening. It was easy to install but too bad every brand has a different wall bracket and upper cabinet hole locations.

Working greatly, the installation was well done. It looks nicer than the old one.

We are redoing our kitchen. We had the same model GE over the range micro wave that was about 6 years old As long as everything else was being replaced we decided to put in this new microwave. It is noticeably quieter than the G E we replaced. Easy to use. Really easy to install.

The product is incredibly… 100% recommendations…..

love it, works great . affordable. and its pretty.

When my Maytag microwave died after nearly 19 years (yeah, no kidding), I naturally decided to replace it with another Maytag. It was a big mistake because it was actually much bigger than the measurements in the specs, it was noisy and inconsistent in operation. I knew this within 24 hours and arranged for the return. That meant I had to go on a hunt for a new one. I finally settled on this GE over-the-range microwave. Now let me sing its praises. The size is exactly as expected. It fits perfectly over my range without being overwhelming. It has a handle to open and the many features (express cook, add 30 seconds, time cook) though more than I am used to all turned out to be great. I actually LOVE this microwave. There will be no returning this one!

Easy installation directions very clear very nice upgrade to our current Older microwave. Very sleek modern design with a larger interior and larger turntable. Excellent choice based on price ease of use and installation.

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.

The unit delivered was noticibly different from the one in the showroom. I had one of this model for years and then it broke when someone accidentally put a metal cup in the microwave. I wanted to replace it with one just like it. The one in the showroom was exactly like the one I had - same model number too. The one that was delivered also had the same model number except was very different. It was cheaply made and seemed to have no or very little insulation - very loud, door very light weight. The two small, incandescent lights underneath the orignal model had been replaced with one small hallogen bulb. The bulb was dim and produced so much heat that I nearly burnt my hand on the floor of the microwave after the light had been on for only 30 minutes. There were other cosmetic changes as well. I was so dissappointed in the numberous changes that cheapend the product that I sent it back and bought the Whilpool microwave. GE made so many changes that they should have given it a new model number and the old model in in the showroom should have been replaced with the new one.

Great microwave. Great customer service. Good experience overall!

Really nice works great perfect size everything about it was what we wanted

Love my new GE microwave. Easy to use, looks great! Good value on the budget too!

This microwave works well and the buttons are easy to figure out without having to break out the manual. If you leave time on the clock, it will flash "FOOD" after a while which is a little jarring when making a fridge raid for my midnight snacks. This microwave meets all my expectations but didn't blow me away in any way. It's a great performer for the price and well worth it for me.

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.

Finally got it installed on 13 July 2020. It is easy to install but 2 people are needed to do the uninstall of the old one & the install of the new one. This one replaces the older model (same Manufacturer). The design of the door on this one is slightly different so it touches the cabinet door about 1/64 on an inch. Needed to install the hanging bracket and drill new holes through the cabinet above the microwave It took just under 1 hour from unpacking & complete install. It operates much like the older model, but keypad buttons are in different locations. When doing Express Cook, Keys 1 through 6, there is a slight delay when pressing the start button. I operates exactly like its' predecessor model. And for the cost of the unit I am very happy with it.
