    Doesnt' work reliably

    This microwave looks nice and cooks well when it works. It is finicky though! The door often doesn't latch completely so the timer and fan work but turntable and cooking do not. I need to push hard on the handle to complete the circuit when this happens. And now the 1 and 2 keys on the keypad have stopped working, and others work intermittently.... so not very functional after 6 months of use!

    I bought this unit to replace an older one that quit working. GE has been my go to new appliance source because the quality is usually there. This unit works as it should although, after having an older version of the same thing, this one seems to be on the cheaply made side. Nothing major, just a cheaper, cheesier control panel and things seem kinda flimsy when the door is closed. It has GE all over it but it came in a generic box.

    OTR Replacement

    First the installation easy as long as you have all your necessary tools handy. We were looking for a inexpensive replacement OTR microwave without all the bells and whistles. This microwave is basic. This has all your basic functions such as quick 30 second button, venting options, one press button timer, etc. Unlike the newer and more expensive models this unit can be very noisy. If your looking for an OTR with lesser decibels then this microwave is not for you.

    Great microwave/range. Heats evenly, plenty of pre-sets and is pretty quiet. Works great and the hood light is decently bright. Checks all the boxes we need it to after our last range failed.

    This microwave replaced a previous GE Microwave. Works about the same. Quick heat ups. Easy to clean. The only problem is that the writing on the panel is a little light, making it sometimes hard to read.

    Great Oven Check Warranty Coverage

    This is not one of those microwave ovens that have all imaginable bells and whistles on them. All it does is microwave food and it does a great job of it. In my case it replaced a name brand microwave that did not reach full cooking temperature. If you wonder why I did not attempt to repair our former microwave, which happened to be under warranty, it was because I would have had to take the microwave off the wall for repair and then be responsible for putting it back on the wall. If you decide to buy the warranty, make sure you are not responsible for removing it from the wall.

    I thought for a GE brand this was at an excellent price point. I also believe for it being a standard size unit, it will fit in most standard size homes and will be installed without any troubles at all

    Solid Microwave

    Just replaced my old GE microwave with this model. The price was good (on sale), and it fit almost perfectly into the same spot above the stove. Install wasn't bad, just switched out the wall mounts (they were slightly different) and drilled a couple new anchors into the cabinet above. Looks very similar to the older model (was about 8 years older), just a little sleeker. Very similar functionality, about what you would expect at this price point, with a couple extra buttons that are handy. I just hope this one lasts 10+ years, I don't think that is too much to ask, but GE isn't what they use to be.
