Decent if you actually get the mounting plate!

The microwave itself is decent, but getting to the point where you can actually mount it is a chore. Purchased one microwave that didn't have the mounting plate included. I exchanged the microwave for another one of the exact same model, got the microwave home... and still no mounting plate!!! Best Buy customer service was no help at all. I was disconnected from customer service three times (because you can't talk to someone at an actual store location unless you physically go there), and when I finally did get ahold of someone I was told that I could exchange it for a SECOND TIME or call GE customer service. GE was much more helpful and sent me the missing mounting plate. If I wasn't in need of a microwave quickly, I would have returned it to Best Buy again and shopped elsewhere. Super unhelpful.
We appreciate you giving us your review of this microwave. We're happy to know that controls are easy and it heats well! The over-the-range microwave vent system should properly remove most heat, steam, and smoke from the cooktop. If boiling or simmering for long periods of time on the front burners, the vent will not always be capable of capturing all of the excess steam. It may be necessary to use the back burners in this case.
The tissue test below can be used to check proper draw of the vent:
Turn the vent fan on HIGH and hold a tissue or paper towel under the vent area. The suction should hold the tissue or paper towel in place. The draw is equal on both sides. It is normal to have some air blowing out of the top grill.
If the unit does not hold the tissue or paper towel:
Check for proper installation of the fan ductwork. Refer to the installation instructions for complete instructions. If your microwave is vented internally we recommend replacing the charcoal filter every 6-12 months depending on usage. If the vent is installed properly and is still not drawing, contact service. You can schedule an appointment by calling 1-800-432-2737. Thanks for your support. Mike@GEA

Worked perfectly once we understood the purpose of the five-minute timer and why the word "FOOD" occasionally appeared when starting the unit.

I replaced a similar one manufactured in 2004 from GE. I had it in our house for 10 plus years. After a couple of weeks, I honestly miss the old one. It felt robust, you throw the door it take the beating and is just fine. This one, says stainless steel, it feels so flimsy. It feels like plastic painted with a steel coating. I cannot find my older model since its discontinued. The new one's are just old machines with cheap parts. That's my opinion. I don't think this will last 10 years unless we tone down our behavior with it. This is not something I can easily return and replace. It's a pain to replace such a thing. If someone is buying it, then i would suggest looking at it in person and then make the decision.
Why 3 stars.. it works without any problem. so cannot deny that.

I had this microwave for the past 6 years in my new kitchen. It worked great. It did only last 6 years, however. I thought it would last a little longer. I am buying a new one, however.
