    Everything went well from purchase to install. Well packaged, good instructions, easy install. Works as advertised and could not be happier with the purchase.

    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 chose this microwave because of its simplicity in style and features. It was a replacement for a 20-year-old one and fit precisely in the space. Also, the delivery and installation was perfectly conducted.

    We had a microwave just like this one only an older model. One day we opened the door and it kept running! Probably not a good thing! We found this replacement and it works great! Unfortunately the top holes didnt line up so I had to make new holes for the bolts to go through.And I also had to change the bracket that holds it up. But I think its a great purchases!

    Microwave was easy to install and runs quietly. It has many options compared to our old GE microwave which lasted for 12 years. The only issues is the buttons are hard to see when the room is dark.

    This GE 1.6 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave is a fantastic addition to my kitchen! The sleek black design looks modern and upscale, and it fits perfectly above my stove. But beyond the aesthetics, it's incredibly functional. The convenience cooking controls are a game-changer – I love the pre-programmed settings for popcorn, potatoes, and pizza; they make cooking so much quicker and easier. The microwave itself is powerful and heats food evenly, and cleanup is a breeze. I've had it for several months now, and it's performed flawlessly. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a stylish and efficient over-the-range microwave!

    Got this to replace a GE Profile that finally died after 20+ years. I decided to go with the GE after reading a lot of the reviews and GE's responses indicating that the bracket and the cabinet holes would be the same, so it should be quick and simple plug and play installation. It was late in the day and I wanted this to be an easy replacement. IT WAS NOT. The outer tabs on the existing bracket did not align with the holes on this new microwave. Had to Dremel the ends of the outer tabs to fit the new microwave slots on the back of the unit. The existing bracket was very sturdy and very secure, so I wasn't interested in figuring out where to drill new holes in the studs for the new wall bracket. Also they changed the location of the holes on top of the unit. <angry!> So we had to futz with the template to figure out where to drill new holes in the cabinet above and finally get this installed. So what should have taken no more than an hour to take down the old one and put up the new one became a 3 hour ordeal. The good: Microwave appears to work great and is much quieter than the old Profile unit. The bad: Couldn't rely on GE's responses to previous reviews and questions. If your GE microwave is several years old, or is part of the older but excellent Profile series, you can't just plug and play this new unit. You'll have to shorten the outer tabs on the existing wall bracket, and you'll still have to drill all new holes because they changed the location of the screws on top of the unit. Also, they changed the location of the range light and +30 seconds buttons. You know, the two buttons we use the most. Also, it does NOT have a fingerprint resistant finish. I think some websites might list it as fingerprint resistant.

    Great replacement for my 12 year old GE microwave. Price was very reasonable and unit works well. Buttons are easy to understand/learn. Door seems a wee bit flimsy, but just being careful opening and closing. Nice bargain!

    I recently got the GE 1.6 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave in stainless steel installed to replace a 20+ year old microwave, and it’s been a kitchen game-changer. Here’s the lowdown: • Sleek Stainless: Let’s start with the looks – it’s stainless steel, and it’s gorgeous. Adds a touch of sophistication to my kitchen. • Efficient Heating: When it comes to microwaves, you want one that heats things up quickly and evenly. This GE microwave does just that. No more cold spots in my leftovers! • Spacious: With 1.6 cubic feet of space, it’s roomy enough to handle large dishes. Perfect for reheating dinner plates or popping in that oversized bag of popcorn for movie nights. • Easy Controls: The controls are user-friendly, and I love the convenience of the presets. It’s like having a personal chef at the push of a button. • Exhaust Fan: It also has an exhaust fan, which is a bonus. Keeps my kitchen smelling fresh when I’m whipping up something aromatic. So, there you have it – the GE 1.6 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave. It’s sleek, powerful, and adds a dash of style to your kitchen. If you’re in the market for a microwave that’s as good-looking as it is functional, this one’s a winner!

    New GE microwave after 24 years with the old GE

    After 24 years we had to replace our GE microwave, it didn’t owe us anything! So, naturally, GE was going to be the manufacturer but which store would we pick? No brained! Best Buy, of course! We have the warranty/tech plan, with them, What I didn’t realize was that it gave us free installation and removal of the old unit which was a $170 value. It basically paid for itself with one transaction. More on the new microwave: great price and SUPER quiet! What more can you ask?! It’s awesome!

    This was a replacement for a 20 year old GE. It's a little larger than the old one but is quieter. Easy to use and it works well. Best buy installed it and they did a great job.Seems to heat evenly and quickly.

    Nice product so far, buttons are a little odd to press correctly and it is louder than some I've had before. It seems that the vent runs every time it's on, not sure yet if it's a setting or just the way its designed. Installation was straightforward, and the dimensions are accurate. Esthetically it is nice, brushed stainless looks nice and it looks great new.

    This replaces a very similar GE unit that we bought with the house. This unit is waaaayyy quieter - so quiet that at first I thought it wasn't working! Heats like a charm and bonus - our magnetic food cover fits in the middle above the rotating tray, while the old one had something in the way so we had to think about where it would go each time. Easy install although I had to drill new holes in the cabinets and walls since the holes in the top of the unit and the bracket are different than the other GE model. Very happy with this choice.
