If you need a hanging microwave this one is good.
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ive had this for two years now and it was a great buy. I ordered it online, picked up in store. I was able to install this alone but it would be better with two people. It came with a template for the wall to make it very easy. The buttons arent that easy to press. Sometimes you have to press a little hard to get the button to work. Its easy to clean too which is nice.

Great replacement
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Replaced GE 1.6 that was 20 years old. Simple install but the holes have changed for the cabinet mount but all in all very simple. The light and vent are improvements and the power is terrific. Only downside is the lack of an illuminated control panel If you’re a late night snacker, you’ll have to memorize the buttons or reveal yourself in the light.

GE Changed the Lighting.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After doing research on CR, and reviews on Best Buy, one of the reasons I purchased this product was that it claimed to have 2 lights for the stove-top (not the typical one bulb), and the online manual confirmed it was two 40-watt incandescent bulbs. However, when it was installed (same product #), I discovered that GE changed that feature to a single 30-watt halogen bulb. Was really not happy about that. But the microwave itself works fine, and other than the above, I'm happy with it. But I feel a bit bamboozled by the take-away.

Quality and good looking Microwave
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After 10 months of daily use we can say so far, so good. Very easy to use, looks good, and so far has been completely reliable. Turntable is big enough for large plates to fit, the light and fan functions are good quality, as are the reheat and defrost functions. Highly recommended.

MixedReview-GEMicrowave
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In-store on 08/06/23, we ordered the GE 1.6 cu. ft. over-the-range stainless steel microwave. On 08/10/23, Best Buy installers came and installed the microwave, but, when we went in the kitchen to look at it (before they left), we saw that they had installed a white microwave! The installers communicated with Best Buy and verified that we ordered the stainless steel one. Since it was their error, they left the white one that they had installed, but we had to wait until 08/28/23 to get a stainless steel one installed. As for the microwave, the buttons on the white one were very hard to push. We thought it might be a fluke, but the buttons on the stainless steel one are also extremely difficult to push, even after 3 months of use. Also, the "Timer" button and the "Cook Time" button are right beside each other (the "Cook Time" button is right above the "Timer" button). That is extremely annoying, as we all routinely accidentally hit the "Timer" button when intending to hit the "Cook Time" button. Then, it is difficult to get it cleared and hit the right button. Also, if you heat something and the cycle completes but you don't remove the food, you can't add more time or start heating again unless you open the door (somehow the microwave "believes" the microwave is empty, even though the food you originally put in the microwave is still in it!). That is also rather annoying. The clear glass plate (that you put the food on to heat) is smaller than in our old microwave- even though the interior of the microwaves seems to be the same size. The bottom of the microwave isn't flat, but, instead, has some indentations on the bottom sides, which I find makes it difficult to clean (you can't easily just wipe out the bottom; crumbs or whatever get down in the indentations and it's harder to wipe those out, since the space is lower than the rest of the microwave). As for cooking/reheating food... it's a microwave. Nothing unusual/different about it. Overall, we like it fine, though I do really wish it didn't have the issues described above (buttons hard to push; indentations in the microwave 'floor' that gather crumbs, etc.)

Good over the range microwave for the money
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A good over the range microwave for the price. This is my second one ( I bought one just like this about 10 years ago) and that one performed well. Nothing will last long when your kids microwave metal, which is why I had to replace the last one. Easy to install and very easy to use.

Great functionality at affordable price.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Replaced similar model that reached the end of its useful life after 11 years. Has many very useful features, good look, and quiet operation. However, Best Buy was not able to execute standard free-of-charge installation. Because the unit required a tool and skills that Best Buy does not equip its installers to have, I had to hire a local crew from Bally, PA.
