basic functionality
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We’ve only had it for a few days, and it basically does what it’s supposed to do out-of-the-box. We installed with rear exhaust configuration. Now that it’s installed, here’s what we know for sure: Pros – • Operates a bit quieter than our 17 year-old Kenmore (which stopped working recently, thus the new unit) • Nice 2-stage surface light covers the range top with adequate brightness on high, and a nice night light level on low. • 2-stage exhaust fan is quieter than the old Kenmore, and seems to move plenty of air. • Programmed buttons have reasoned lead-through menus for adjusting quantity/weight/measure. Cons – • And this is a BIG ONE: very low contrast control panel is impossible to see without ambient lighting. This means turning on the kitchen lights every time you want to use it except when there is sufficient daylight coming in. That’s disruptive to the eyes when you just want a late cup of tea. Under-the-counter or task lighting does/may not shed light on the panel when it is mounted above the range top. The bisque and/or white models will have higher contrast stencils, but the stainless unit also has a black control panel. • Shiny black plastic finish shows fingerprint smudges in high contrast. Other finishes probably fare better. • Grease filters are a very poor fit and barely cover the exhaust cutouts; seem like they could easily fall out with a little vibration.

Perfect exact replacement!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Technically this is not mine. My girlfriend's microwave went out (still runs but the clock and keyboard all messed up) from the one that was put in when she bought her house. My goal was to install a new one while she was bring Teenager away to college. I purchased this one, not realizing it was the exact module - fit perfectly, same brackets, same mounting bolts. I even put a pretty bow on it. She arrived back from her trip, and discovered a completely new microwave. ;-) Mission accomplished. It works perfectly, matches the kitchen appliances. Thank you Best Buy, I doubt I could have found the perfect replacement anywhere else.

very good for the money
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like how quiet this mw oven is. I never had another one with such quiet operation. Digital display looks like from 70-s or 80-s rather then from 21st century. Digits look very awkward. The rest is pretty average and expected.

GE - 1.6 Microwave over-the-range vs Whirlpool
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good experience on service. For the product itself, compare to my broken Whirlpool pretty same one, this GE one definitely not as good build as Whirlpool, like the top steal cover. I don't like the black control even with pretty well kitchen light, it is hard to see the buttons unless to mesmerized the buttons location. I don't have this issue with Whirlpool's white control at all.

Don't let open box items discourage you.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I gave 4 out of 5 stars because I have only had the microwave for almost a month to date of purchase and install. This unit replaced a Magic Chef unit. This was an open box item, yet still retained the factory sealed tape on the unit itself. This unit goes for over $300 new. But I got it for $170 out the door, including a 3yr extended warranty.

Replaced same model
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Initially I was very disappointed with this purchase. I purchased what I thought was the same microwave it was replacing. However the exhaust, plug, and mounting bracket were different and my installation turned into a cabinetry session. That aside, this microwave is great. The functions are easier to use. It is easier to clean. And most noticeably, it is quieter. Disappointed I had to drill new holes and cut out a new pattern from my cabinet, but the microwave cost less than its previous incarnation and is a big improvement.
