When my Maytag microwave died after nearly 19 years (yeah, no kidding), I naturally decided to replace it with another Maytag. It was a big mistake because it was actually much bigger than the measurements in the specs, it was noisy and inconsistent in operation. I knew this within 24 hours and arranged for the return. That meant I had to go on a hunt for a new one. I finally settled on this GE over-the-range microwave. Now let me sing its praises. The size is exactly as expected. It fits perfectly over my range without being overwhelming. It has a handle to open and the many features (express cook, add 30 seconds, time cook) though more than I am used to all turned out to be great. I actually LOVE this microwave. There will be no returning this one!

This microwave works well and the buttons are easy to figure out without having to break out the manual.
If you leave time on the clock, it will flash "FOOD" after a while which is a little jarring when making a fridge raid for my midnight snacks.
This microwave meets all my expectations but didn't blow me away in any way. It's a great performer for the price and well worth it for me.

I ordered the microwave oven online for pickup and it was ready to go when I arrived at the Best Buy store. Installation was extremely easy as I was replacing an older version (from 2001) of the same microwave over and the new one used the exact same mounting hardware and mounting holes. Literally, removed the old oven (remove two screws, unplug and remove from the wall/cabinets, then attached the new oven using the old mounting brackets and secured with the top mounting screws. Keeping my fingers crossed that the quality of this one is better than some of the reviews (I purchased the extended warranty just in case..)
As far as recommending this oven, after only a few weeks it is working well, the controls are very similar to the model it replaced. I can't make a quality evaluation until a year or two from now. LOL

Finally got it installed on 13 July 2020. It is easy to install but 2 people are needed to do the uninstall of the old one & the install of the new one. This one replaces the older model (same Manufacturer). The design of the door on this one is slightly different so it touches the cabinet door about 1/64 on an inch. Needed to install the hanging bracket and drill new holes through the cabinet above the microwave It took just under 1 hour from unpacking & complete install. It operates much like the older model, but keypad buttons are in different locations. When doing Express Cook, Keys 1 through 6, there is a slight delay when pressing the start button. I operates exactly like its' predecessor model. And for the cost of the unit I am very happy with it.

I was in need of a replacement microwave for over my stove because my other one had stopped heating. After searching Best Buy website I came across this one it was a perfect fit and a great price. I made the purchase and chose to pick it up in store the next day. After getting it home I began to install it and had minor issues with the template as I needed to re drill new holes. Took a little time to get it in place but once everything was drilled it was pretty quick. This microwave has plenty of room and is very quiet when operating. Cant beat it for the price. Well worth it.

Great Microwave. looks simple but packs a punch! I wanted a high-output microwave without spending over 300 bucks! Great deal on sale. Easy to install and has GE's reliability! If you're in the market for a microwave that will complement a newly updated kitchen or an older-style kitchen, this will fit either bill! Go get one, you deserve it!

Best Buy is the BEST BUY! Customer service really is customer service; I was in good hands and was HELPED from the minute I
entered the store. As I entered the store I was directed to the product I was looking for and within minutes a sales person met me and assisted me with my purchase AND saved me $100.00.
After my experience at Best Buy I returned my IPad at a different store and I’m now going to Best Buy for an IPad. Thank you BEST BUY,

Have had this Microwave just a few months and so far we are pleased. Easy Install, Great Cooking, and Good Venting. The door is a little clunky with plastic catches so be careful and the Control panel needs to be back lighted. All and All....Have to give it an Excellent rating.

This GE 1.6 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave is a fantastic addition to my kitchen! The sleek black design looks modern and upscale, and it fits perfectly above my stove. But beyond the aesthetics, it's incredibly functional. The convenience cooking controls are a game-changer – I love the pre-programmed settings for popcorn, potatoes, and pizza; they make cooking so much quicker and easier. The microwave itself is powerful and heats food evenly, and cleanup is a breeze. I've had it for several months now, and it's performed flawlessly. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a stylish and efficient over-the-range microwave!
