It's nice. It has most of the features I wanted but missed a few. The door, at times, doesn't close all the way. But I would repurchase it if I had to.

This is a replacement for my 15+ years over the range GE microwave, the newer version has some nice upgrades. In my opinion a good value for a fair cost.

I am very happy with this microwave so far. It looks great and seems to working fine. I did have to order the separate charcoal filters through GE that I think should have been included.

This is a good mid-priced microwave. It was easy to install and so intuitive to use that I did not need instructions for the keypad choices. The over the stove light is very good, and the two speed fan works well. Only compliant is that is is noisy.

GE - 1.6 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave - Stainless Steel works great, profile is small but of good size, vent vacuum and lighting options work great. Food does not get overheated like other microwaves I've used in the past. Definitely recommend this product.

We replaced an HotPoint microwave with this GE model and very impressed. Installation was easy and the controls are self explanatory. It is well worth the money.

When my expensive microwave broke down after only 5 years, a handyman friend said that basically they are all the same and look for price, which is one of the reasons I chose this one. I have been using it for about a month and can say that it does everything the more expensive one did and even has a louder signal when the cooking is done.

The panel for the use of the microwave is TOO DARK!!! I called because I thought that perhaps the back lighting for the panel was off. I was told that the LED clock was the light . The image shown here is not what I have. I have to put on all the lights in order to read the various time elements, etc. Have asked others and they have agreed that it is really very difficult to read.
Hello- We appreciate your feedback and will be sure to share this with our engineering and design teams. The controls aren't backlit, we recommend that you change the lighting in your kitchen and see if that helps. If you believe there is an issue with your controls, please reach out to GE Consumer Service at 1-800-432-2737. Thank you! Joyce@GEA

We bought this to replace an older GE over the cooktop that had finally died. Got the one that had been opened, but was rated excellent. And it was. Looks lke brand new to us. Very happy
Only complaint would be that GE changed the back plate that it mounts on for who know what reason, as well as the screw holes that go thru the cabinet above it. Made for extra work at installation, and cannot imagine why they would do that.
But anyway, it was in great condition and is working just fine. I wouldn't hesitate to get anything at Best Buy that is Open Box Excellent. Saved significant money and it looks and works like brand new

Good microwave with a number of features! Easy to use and not as load as my old one! Stainless doesnt seem to smudge as bad as the old one and installed it within 1.5 hours.

I purchased this to replace a broken microwave.
It came with the back plate which makes the install easy, and also hold it in place. It came with almost everything needed. The only thing I needed to get extra was a tape to stick the exhaust to the existing exhaust outlet.

We are super happy with this microwave. We installed it ourselves, and it was moderately difficult. The hardest part was marking the drill holes with the template. I had to cut the edges off the template to make it more accurate lining it up against the bottom of the cabinet to drill holes. We also had to take out the fan unit and put it back into the cabinet facing forward to vent it forward through the carbon filter. It comes in the box ready for venting up into a duct, but we don't have a duct. It was really hard to remove the plastic piece at the front and install the carbon filter. I can't imagine how I'll do that again to replace the filter with it up on the wall.
Otherwise it works great and looks really good.

Excellent microwave. Good quality. I like how it works fantastic and my wife likes how it looks. GE made the control panel easy to operate. The install was accomplished by my wife and I.
