I would recommend this to a friendmade cheaply
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is not nearly as nice as the one I replaced. It is very flimsy and doesn't heat as well as the old one. I would not recommend buying this and I would not keep it except that it was so difficult to get it purchased and installed that I don't want to go through the hassles again, so I will just keep it until it wears out. It seems to be made cheaply and charged expensively.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendOK for Price
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Looks nice and works. Buttons are a little hard to press. But hard to find a replacement in bisque. And it was inexpensive.

No, I would not recommend this to a friendBought May 2017, Died August, 2019
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My Summary says it all. I don't expect my microwave, or any appliance, to simply quit working after two years. Since we're a retired couple and I don't cook very much, the microwave did not get heavy usage. Mostly used it to heat up frozen meals that we got from Jenny Craig. Of course the warranty is up after a year. Such shoddy manufacturing doesn't even deserve one star but I don't have the option of zero stars.

Posted .Hello MicrowaveOwner, thank you for your review. We are sincerely sorry your microwave stopped operating properly so soon into its lifespan. We truly understand how that would be frustrating. Please know that this is not the ownership experience we strive for. We hope we will have the opportunity to earn your trust back in the future. -Chris@GEA

I would recommend this to a friendUgly Duckling
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased my GE Microwave in January 2017. I had to purchase this particular one because my previous Microwave was a GE and this was the one that will fit in between the cabinets. After about 2 months I noticed in the window what looked like a separation about the size of a dime. I called GE as a concern and I was told as long as it doesn't affect the performance there was nothing they will do. Now here in June this problem has grown to the size of a half dollar. I'm concerned that this could be some kind of protective film or something is slipping in between the glasses. I would have taken this thing down myself and returned it to BestBuy myself months ago but I had to pay $125 to have it installed by my contractor. Now I'm stuck with this ugly thing that anyone who comes over asks me what on earth is that? I tell them that it's the mark of GE customer service who don't care about their product. Very very disappointed!

Posted .Hello darylsig - thank you for reviewing your new over-the-range microwave. We are very sorry to hear that the door appears like it is separating in the glass. This is not what we would expect to hear and we apologize for your inconvenience. We recommend contacting GE Factory Service at 1-800-432-2737 to have it properly evaluated by a service technician. Thank you for providing your feedback. NANCYatGEA

Average microwave
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Average hard to read the settings Nothing special about this
I would recommend this to a friendDisappointed!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I took a chance on an open box item that was supposed to be in excellent condition but it was far from it. The brackets to install the over the range microwave were missing and the item was damaged. I returned to the store.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendFAULTY HANDLE
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The microwave works fine...in less than a year, the handle completely breaks off. Never ever have I had a handle break off of a microwave. Totally unrepairable...and mounting screws sticking out making it dangerous.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendVery noisy when it’s in use
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It will start disturbing noise as soon as it’s turned on.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendCannot read display / keypad
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not happy - the Key Pad has very little contrast and it is hard to read with or without the kitchen lights on... The exact same microwave this replaced had a much brighter higher contrast keypad!!!
