Fast installers
Works fine. Quiet when operating.
(Clock display not as clear as older model.
It’s bright enough but numbers are too smashed together looking).

Product was delayed after ordered. It was in good condition and had easy directions. We had ero change to recirculating air before install. It fit on existing wall mount but had to drill new holes in cabinets. Nice big handle, easy to operate, like the 1 touch program buttons. Door is a little noisier, white display is harder to read.

Our home was built in 2005 and we had the original microwave. It was a GE Profile microwave as well, we went to our local Best Buy in Manteca, CA and got a really good salesman. We ended up refreshing out some other appliances to help stack discounts.
We truly appreciate your loyalty to our brand, and we’re glad to hear you’ve had a great experience with this model! We’re confident the model will continue to serve your needs well going forward. -Sarah@GEAppliances

When I was looking for a new above the range microwave, I looked at many out there. I wanted one that didn’t break the bank and also did its job. Great microwave! I like the different options to choose from when reheating food and also the choices of the nightlight.

I love everything about this purchase from the price, product, delivery and installation. I am a very satisfied customer at the moment. The microwave looks amazing in my kitchen. My delivery window was 9-11 I got a call around 8:30, the delivery guy was in around 9am and out the door around 9:30. The tech was very professional and polite.

Bought this as a replacement for the 20 year old version that came with our house. This model is the current direct replacement from GE. The look is refreshed, newer model seems to be more powerful, features are similar. The only downside is that the door hinge is a little different on this new one and it actually rubs against the wall when we open it. The original one did not do this.
This is a wonderful microwave model, and we're thrilled to hear you're enjoying it. We're confident this unit will continue to be an asset in your home for years to come. Thank you for choosing GE Appliances! - Julia@GEAppliances

Good microwave, crappy cabinets

Overall the GE microwave is great. Does everything I need it to and more.
The install sucked. I have awkward cabinets which made it impossible to use the provide template for install. Also the provided hardware is not the highest of quality. I work in a construction field so I was able to make several measurements and get the holes drilled where I needed them.
If you are not familiar with tools, or comfortable drilling into your cabinets and walls, I would highly recommend paying for the install package.

This series of GE microwaves is known to have issues with the display. Mine was good for the first 6 months then occasionally flashed on the 2nd digit. I didn't think anything of it. Just after the year warranty expired the 2nd digit went completely crazy to where it is now often unreadable with the various segments of the number either not showing or randomly flashing like a strobe light. I am now buying a replacement control board to fix this (part WB27X29801) for about $100. Shame on GE for not having better quality control on these.
Also, the glass rotating plate inside is fairly delicate. A coffee mug hit the plate when being placed inside and a chunk of the lip cracked off leaving a jagged edge (another $100 replacement for the official GE plate).
On top of this, Best Buy uses a terrible outside company for installations called Premier Logistics. I have never seen bigger idiots. It’s like the Three Stooges were sent to install this. They were shocked it wouldn’t fit on the existing bracket and were very hesitant to install a new one (like they weren’t totally sure how). When they finally did start installing it 2 guys did most of the work while the 3rd stood around supervising. The supervisor then decided to randomly touch the microwave which he then immediately sliced his hand on and proceeded to bleed all over my kitchen floor while trying to nonchalantly hide his hand from me. I had another terrible experience with Premier Logistics about a year later when a different team came to deliver and install a dishwasher at which point they flooded the kitchen and tried to scam my elderly parents out of $200. Before you buy anything from Best Buy, check to see if Premier Logistics will be involved in any way (delivery, installation, etc.) and if so look somewhere else.
I would not buy this microwave again and I’m very hesitant to buy any appliance from Best Buy because of the aforementioned issues with the install team.
Given the issues you had with your microwave, we'd very much like to review your situation. We encourage you to send us (GE Appliances) a private message on one of our social channels (Facebook, Instagram) with your contact information, model and serial numbers, service history and a copy of your review. -Vikki@GEAppliances

I purchased the GE microwave when our old one broke. After checking prices, I found the best deal, and best appearing one at Best Buy. Great deal and great appliance.
