    Aftyer about 20 years my son's GE Microwave finally gave up. With other priority items they put off replacing the microwave till after Christmas. That gave me the idea to replace their microwave with a new one in time for the Holiday Season. We live over 900 miles apart so after consulting with my son he said he would install it himself if he could use the same predrilled holes as the old one. Over the internet we discovered the Best Buy had the GE model that fit that requirement. It was then easy for me to buy it in Fargo and have him pick it up in Norman, OK. The installation and use have been completed and the whole family is very happy with the new microwave.

    I had what looked like the identical MW and suddenly it stopped working or the heating element died. But as it was old and looked built in. This one is so close to being the identical one, so many years later and I am loving it. It has the features I got used to and a couple of welcome upgrades in a couple. Great product

    Extremely quiet and easy to install. Definitely needed two people to hold up and put in but if you've put one in before, you'd know. So far so good, works great and has a lot of options. I do wish it has the codes for reheat posted but it's. Qr code.

    Looks great and is rather easy to install. Easy to use and performs well. Fan is very quiet. The downlight really illuminates the cooking surface below. The only concern is that the door fit and latch seem flimsy (no problems, however.)

      Hello DCM2 - this is Nancy at GE. We are glad to hear that this microwave is working out great for you, especially since it performs well, the fan is quiet and the surface light works well. It is normal for the microwave door to have a little give in it, either up or down or in or out, up to 1/8". Further, the microwave door has a firmer spring in the door latch. This may be why the door seems different to you. I hope this helps! We hope you enjoy your new GE microwave for many years to come! GE_Appliances

    So far so good. Fairly easy install. It was to replace an existing range microwave so the new braxket just went in place of the old one. I did have to open the anchor holes a bit more because the microwave was a couple centimeters bigger other than that it’s working beautifully

    Replaced a LG that had a broken door. Was only $50 to replace the entire oven so here we are. This one used all the same mounting points so it was a drop in replacement. Even the fan was installed from the factory for recirculating mode. The old one was out and this one was in <30 minutes. As far as operation goes, all good. I like that many of the numbers are quick start buttons as my family often just throws something in and hit 1 or 2 to warm stuff up. Overall a good buy and recommended.

    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!

    Good basic unit, buttons are not great

    I bought this because the dimensions are relatively small for 1.6 cubic ft unit and I despise microwaves that hang below the cabinets or stick out 6 inches in front of the surrounding cabinets. I was replacing a GE Profile from the mid-90s and it fit into the existing cabinet cutout perfectly - does not protrude below the cabinets, and the depth expanding out in front of the cabinets is minimal - only a couple inches. I installed with the recirculating fan option as we do not have exterior vent ducting. Usually microwave fans have 2 speeds - loud, and just as loud but moving less air. On this GE the low fan speed is much quieter than the high speed, which is rare and appreciated. My only complaints are that the worksurface light could be a bit brighter, and the buttons sometimes require more pressure than expected. Overall, it does everything I need it to, nothing I don't, and has held up fine for 6+ months now. Would recommend to anyone who isn't looking for bells and whistles.
