    We bought this microwave and had Best Buy come out and install it. We’ve only had it for a month but so far it’s been working great! Hopefully it works for 5-10 years before needing another as we’ve had bad luck with microwaves over the last decade.

    This fit the space perfectly. I was looking for a microwave that was less than 15" deep. This worked out great, and matched the stove perfectlu. Looks and works great. Happy with this purchase.

    The latest version of the same microwave that I already had. Original came with home when I purchased it and lasted 8 years. New microwave is basically the same and does a good job at a great price. Easy install.

    Noisy fan won’t go off

    The microwave works fine, the problem is I can’t get the fan to turn off. I read the directions, followed them, but it still goes on every time I use the microwave. It is loud and annoying when not needed. I was thinking of returning it, but installation is too hard, so I’m putting up with the noise.

      Posted .

      The fan will operate automatically under certain conditions. An automatic fan feature protects the microwave from too much heat rising from the cooktop below it. It automatically turns on at low speed if it senses too much heat. If you have turned the fan on you may find that you cannot turn it off. The fan will automatically turn off when the internal parts are cool. It may stay on for 30 minutes or more after the cooktop and microwave controls are turned off.

    We purchased this microwave after returning a Maytag one originally (which was too big). This was the smallest one we could find. It seems to work well. It replaced a 23 year old GE that never gave us any problems. It is a decent microwave for the price

    Love the GE microwave! Installed easily and love the preset cook buttons. Wipes clean easily. Looks sharp and have had no problems with it. We had to replace our old unit due to smoke damage and this was an upgraded model. Better than the original!

    Found this on-sale online the same day my old one died. Drove to the store picked it up at the counter. Old one removed and had this installed in under 2 hrs. Easy to install. Runs very quiet.

    Cooks well but lost favorite convenience features

    It does what it was designed to do but I miss some simple but useful features of my old GE microwave. The biggest loss was the ability to control the beeping. The new unit beeps with every button pushing and cooking operation. My old one I could control the beeper volume and I could turn the beeper off, which I did most of the time. The exhaust fan goes on when cooking every time and I can't control that. The latch springs on the door are very loud and the door sound very tinny. The other option I miss is being able to set the light over the stove to work as a night light, turning on and off on a schedule. That being said it cooks very well and does what it was designed to do. I just wish they hadn't removed some favorite functions while keeping all of the one button cooking operations that I have never used in the decades of microwave ownership. The measurements quoted on the store display were inaccurate so I didn't regain some clearance I was expecting.

    We researched for a new microwave after our 19 year old microwave died. We choose this model at Best Buy based on reviews and price. Excellent customer service received in the small appliance department.

    So far I have been quite pleased with this microwave. And I hope it will continue to operate longer than our last one (a Bosch). It is simple to operate and not too loud.

    Our microwave quit working and we needed to purchase a new one. The one we had was a GE over the range. We loved it and wanted to replace it with another GE. We were happy to find one similar to the old one. We have loved this one also. Is easy to use and performs great.
