    Bought this to replace the same model we purchased 3 years ago to make mounting installation easier. Old one just suddenly stopped working completely. Even the clock stopped working. I suspect it might have been an easy repair but a service call would be close to the price of a new unit so we oped for the new unit. Warranty is only 1 year but not worth the price of getting an extended warranty. We were happy with the unit until it failed and is attractive looking.

    Easy to use and great features like one button pushing. Only downside is the numbers, etc. are very difficult to read.

    Replacement Microwave. Installation was easy (but heavy..60lbs) Ours is vented to the outside, watch out, the microwave comes default configured for that. Microwave works great, love the express buttons for 1 to 6 minutes. The button for selecting custom times is somewhat awkwardly placed, but we got used to it. Exhaust fan works great, but is a "little" noisy. Overall an easy 5 stars.

    Solid Microwave, check your dimensions

    I took measurements of my old microwave and verified that this one had the same dimensions. However, upon installation, this microwave projects out from the wall over my stove almost an additional inch. This is because this microwave's mounting hardware attaches to the back splash wall. My old microwave was attached to the cupboard above it, so there was nothing between the back of that microwave and the back splash wall. At first, I was really upset about this extra projection. I was also worried that the indoor venting (I don't have a vent pipe to the outside) would blow upwards into the cupboard above it since the exhaust vent points upward (my old microwave's vent blew straight out into the room which was awful for us tall people because it would blow directly into our eyes). However, this extra projection into the room actually ensured that the exhaust vents completely cleared the cupboard doors and therefore I don't have to worry about warping the wood. The microwave feels solid. Some microwave doors feel plastic and flimsy, but this one feels very solid. The handle feels sturdy (you simply jerk on the handle to pull the door open, there is not a button to press to pop open the door). The keypad doesn't seem to collect any finger prints. The turntable is surprisingly large and moves quietly during operation. I like that this microwave has a feature to stop the turntable from rotating. This feature is really helpful when I've put in a 13"x9" casserole dish of leftovers to reheat.

    Disappointed with GE Microwave

    My 18 year old GE Microwave died and after looking at several 2018 models/makes in my Best Buy store and online, I decided to go with a GE that fit the space over my cook top, was shiny black and had a similar panel to our previous one, so that my husband could figure out how to use it. When it was installed and plugged in, I noticed that the panel was almost unreadable - there was very little contrast between the pale, white lettering and the black background on the buttons. On my 18 year old panel (and online), the lettering is distinct. Now I must put on reading glasses to see the words. The door has a window, but I can't see what my food is doing during cooking, reheating, etc. due to the heavy black grid on the glass. The interior light inside is very dim, as well. The digital time on the panel is an extremely, bright white, unlike all of my other digital appliance clocks, temperatures, etc. which are green. I like the beverage button on this microwave because it gives you choices in ounces - 4, 8, 12, 16 oz. Also, the size of the turntable is large enough to accommodate dinner plates and glass baking dishes.

    I find the panel of numbers and prompts nearly impossible to read. I always need my eye glasses, as they are so faint. I didn't see it on "the floor", so was not aware it's so reflective. I can't send photo this way. Tnx for asking. I do appreciate the one press of numbers I need.
