    Microwave broke within a year and a half. No longer under warranty and GE wants $120 before parts/labor to even look at it, while a new microwave on sale is $200.

    Got purchase home, found that box said was black, was white. Best Buy ordered a new unit with free pickup and delivery. After delivery, found was missing the bracket that bolts to the wall. Called GE, they "ordered" a replacement part, 2 weeks and still no bracket.

    Under unit light way too low. Lettering on controls way too light and hard to read. Pressure necessary to activate controls way too hard especially for older people with arthritis. It should be as easy to press as your mobile phone. Handle isn't anywhere near as comfortable to grip as the Kitchen Aid microwave. I was an industrial product designer. Give this product a very poor rating.

    It broke almost at the one year mark, and got it fixed by the manufacturers warranty. Now we are at the 2nd year and it broke again, and now the useless extended warranty is not showing up to fix it.

    It just stopped working. The microwave makes a humming noise, but does not heat anything. The repair cost is equivalent to purchasing a new one. This microwave replaced a KitchenAid microwave which lasted 25 years. My other microwave which is a GE countertop microwave is 19 years old and still going strong. Sadly, this one lasted 2.5 years, and of course it is out of warranty. Very disappointed!

      Hello Alaskabob - We are very sorry to hear that your unit required repair after only six months. This is certainly not something we would expect to occur. Our hope is that the unit was quickly repaired under the product warranty, and that you receive many years of good service from the microwave. Thank you for choosing GE Appliances for your cooking needs. - TREY@GEA GE_Appliances

    Glad to have a bisque replacement for my kitchen but not happy about the vent flapper that makes it sound like I have a critter in my attic when the wind blows. Wish I could have been told about that before installation.

    Problems started immediately. It doesn’t make sound when the timer or cooking time is over. The motor gets very loud while cooking and then goes back to normal. The screen doesn’t always display properly, certain parts of it won’t light up. We haven’t had it a year and I don’t think it will last much longer.

    We use it for reheating beverages and food as well as steaming vegetables. We have had this microwave for several weeks now and it is simple to operate and does a nice job. The fan works well as does the lighting. I'd buy this product again.

    I'm very disappointed. My GE microwave shorted out this week, less than 2 years of owning it. I had the electrician out to make sure it had nothing to do with our electricity and it didn't. My previous microwave lasted over 15 years. I wish I could remember which brand it was as I won't waste my time with GE again. Beware!

      Hello KansasMom, 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 GE_Appliances

    I brought this to replace one I had for 15 years. This one died 30 days after install. Had to call GE repair. They came and said the mother board went. They have to order it. Will be allegedly one week. Big disappointment to have a brand new microwave die. Had to buy a small counter one until this one is fixed. On another note. The fan runs whenever you use it and it is loud.

      Hi there, we're so sorry to hear this microwave died after just 30 days when your last unit lasted 15 years and that your fan is louder than expected. After such a long time, we can imagine how disappointed you must feel, so we want you to know we're confident our technician will get you taken care of. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and we're wishing you the best. Thank you for choosing GE Appliances. - Guy@GEA GE_Appliances

    Installed this microwave, and it has an incredibly loud buzzing/vibrating noise. And, I mean loud. It sounds like something is broken or damaged. The delivery box was in good condition. I installed it, myself, and it was gently and correctly installed. I bought this to replace an older microwave because it seemed to be wearing out. (Heating took more time, the inside light would only come on when the microwave started, and the light underneath was not working.) Looks like I'll have to reinstall the old one and return this one. That's a ton of work just because I made the mistake of buying this microwave.
