This microwave is a good value. I did not need anything fancy. The only complaint I have is that the buttons to not light up. Even my middle school son complained about no lights. It makes the buttons hard to see.

The only knock I have is with the control pad with poor contrast. In low lighting, it can be difficult to read. Of course, after several days of usage, I have learned where the important keys are located.

Bought this on Good Friday for a great price. Our old GE was only 5 years old when somehow a hole burned through the top of the appliance and there was concerns over radiation. The warranty just expired. Hoping this one will last longer. So far so good.

Bought this GE brand microwave to replace another GE brand microwave that died after 5 years of regular use. The first one that I had was almost exactly like this one and I liked that it was simple to use. The biggest change between the two that I've noticed is that the clock/timer reading on this one is difficult to read. The LED light is so bright and the numbers so close together it hurts my eyes and looks blurry when I try to read it. Hope this new microwave lasts a bit longer than 5 years like my first one, but I've been told by the installers not to expect more lifespan from today's appliances.
My last micro was almost identical to this new one

For the price and for my purposes this microwave is perfect. I don't see a need to the most expensive model out there. This fits the bill. My last GE micro lasted 8 years without exception and so I purchased the same model, etc.

I needed to replace a fair new over the stove microwave that died on me. This one is great for the price. Installation was a little long because I've never done one before and I was by myself. Only problem was template for holes in cabinet above didn't seem to match correctly.

Have only used it for a week, so I can only say so much. It is a basic unit and it works as expected so far. I chose GE, hoping that the mounting system would be the same as my last two GE units, but it was not the same. A new mounting plate and new holes in the upper cabinet had to be made for this one. My two previous GE units were purchased 13 and 6 years ago; the microwave is our most used appliance and they just don't last as long as they used to. The very first one we had lasted 12 years (it was not a GE brand, but I'm not sure it matters).

Looks good. Fairly easy to install if you can get the fans rotated in the correct direction. Lighting is excellent underneath. Exhaust fan is average. Control buttons are dark and difficult to see without adequate lighting. As good or better than comparably priced microwaves. Cooks well.

This microwave had great reviews in consumer report and my research lead me to buy it. Best buy had the best price and it was easy to order and arrived ahead of time. Instructions are clear and accurate. Was easy to install and works as advertised. Has a simple interface for control and does the job.
