Hope that a familiar brand holds up.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this to replace an older GE model that had many issues and had many service calls. Bought another GE for the look and pre-programmed buttons and hoped that it would fit in the existing wall mount. New wall mount and new LED colors. The old unit and the matching stove had green LED displays and the new one is a white-ish color. So far it is performing well. I did buy a three year warranty because the price I paid was the lowest it had been for several months so I considered the warranty as mostly free. Over the range microwaves take a beating so I hope this one holds up and if not, I know who to call.

Best-Price-Bargain_Buy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great, competitive price for an easy-to-use over-the-stove microwave. Plenty of ez features, timer, fan, light (inside the unit as well as underneath to illuminate stovetop). Turntable and more... Super efficient and polite installation by Geek Squad.

Love this microwave
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Despite a few negative reviews that I read, it runs quiet and the chime at the end of cooking time is not that annoying. The door is a little noisy when closed, but I can live with that. It runs great and is fairly simple to operate, plus it looks great in my kitchen.

I don’t really leave reviews but on this one I felt compelled to. I was looking for a good looking, efficient, and affordable microwave and I was directed to this GE microwave by customer service. It was totally worth the investment. It cooks food thoroughly. It’s got a sharp look. The install team was professional and courteous. Big thanks to Best Buy!

Consumer Reports Recommended
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a very good basic microwave at a good price. It was listed on CRs best buy recommended list. Nothing fancy but gets all the basics right. So far so good. The install was a little difficult. Unfortunately the mounting bracket is not easy to work with instead of it being a full rectangle metal frame, it is a “U” shape. The bottom is fine with several holes that you can use to make sure you are putting the screws into a stud. However, since there is no top to the frame and just the sides there is only one mounting hole on each side. Studs are typically 16” apart, but these are about 26” apart. Unfortunately you have to use toggle bolts into the drywall. I would rather have screws into studs for extra strength.
