    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.

    This is my first over-the-range microwave and I love it. It is very roomy. The bright white matches my appliances and cabinets. It's just a bit "clunky" as far as opening & closing the door, and it's pretty loud when in use. But then again, I was accustomed to a small countertop microwave!

    love this microwave. GE products are the best. Learned a lesson on "microwaves" never buy one that fell or damaged while being packaged or in store, no matter how low the price, Because if that door gets out of line even a hair it will cause the fuse to blow constantly. Just buy one that is 100% in superb condition.

    We were so excited to get our New GE Microwave and we r very satisfied with it performance. But most of all we were really impressed with Jake, your Technician, who did the installation. He really knows his stuff. It was installed within a very short period and he took the time to give us instructions and helpful hints. Thanks ever so much for sending him our way. Great service all the way around, from sales, scheduling to installation.

    This microwave is very nice. It looks sleek and expensive. It works better than any I have ever owned. It is easy to use and heats quickly and thoroughly. It has a vent fan that does a fantastic job. Definitely worth the purchase.

    Replaced an older GE OTR microwave. This one fit right in no problems. So far seams to work well. Only thing is I wish the settings panel was lighted up so they can be seen better in a dim lit room.

    Faulty display and other issues

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    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.

    So far, so good. This microwave is very sleek looking and goes with the rest of my appliances. it was installed quickly and it works very well. Extremely satisfied with the value vs price ratio. IOW, It didn't break the bank but delivers! No complaints so far. I would definitely recommend it and purchase it again.

    I replaced a Samsung microwave that wasn't working because something was wrong with the electrical panel. I first bought a Whirlpool microwave to replace it, but returned it when I went home and realized it would stick out a lot from the cabinets. This GE microwave fit perfectly without sticking out much. It's very quiet and does a nice job of heating foods.

    Exactly what I was looking for. This white GE microwave over the range oven was replacing my 19 year old similar GE microwave oven. It fit my existing bracket so I didn't have to drill any holes. Easy installation and great value! Delivery was as promised.
