Microwave Not Good
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sadly, this microwave broke. It stopped working on 11/10/22. The warranty is not available, because it was good for only a year. I need to find someone to either fix it or buy another one. I would not recommend buying this brand microwave.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendStill new. Solid basic unit.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We got this as an open box item. Took a little time to install as the mounts from the old GE didn't line up. But other than that, it works just fine. Nothing special, but it's a microwave. I don't need it to do backflips.
I would recommend this to a friendThe whole family it happy again.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We wanted and got a simple microwave that appears to he reliable. We only need the basic functions and this one has it.

I would recommend this to a friendAbsoute Junk! Do not buy GE!
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolute garbage! Just had the second one of these die in 3 years. This time it died in under 11 months. Getting a hold of GE service is worse than dealing with the DMV. I wish I could give this negative stars. I will never buy a GE product again after the quality issues with this microwave and their even worse customer service.

Posted .Hello Rick, 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
Not happy.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So the microwave arrived with the dent on the side and the digital numbers are not working. Was not very happy with this plus I had to pay for them to install it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendGE is garbage!!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had this microwave for a year and 1 month. Died while using it. I did some research and replaced the fuse still nothing. GE will not do anything for you after the year warranty. Total garbage!!! I do not recommend this microwave or brand!
No, I would not recommend this to a friendNot a good microwave.
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have owned this microwave 9 months and it already has an issue. The microwave inside gets HOT even when it hasn't been in use for hours, or days. I am trying to figure out how to get a refund/replacement but that is not easy...

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works as advertised. The first six numbers on the keypad add the corresponding minutes instantly, which is a timesaver.
I would recommend this to a friendTrash! Don’t say I didn’t warn you
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Buyer beware- stopped working in 20 months. Keeps blowing fuses and now doesn’t work. Handy man said this model has had a lot of issues. Waste of money

Did not work
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The fan motor never worked..right out of the box it was broken. We will not buy another GE microwave again because of this experience. Best Buy manager did accept return and was very apologetic and professional but it was a huge inconvenience for us to have to return it and we are still looking for a replacement. It will never be a GE that’s for sure.

Microwave
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It heats things up real nice! Buttons push well. If you pull on the handle the door opens. What do you want from me?
I would recommend this to a friendReplaced
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this micro and after 1.5 years it broke. Loved it until it stopped working. More expensive to fix, than to replace. Trying round two, hoping to have better luck with this one.

||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased the GE 1.6 cu ft Over-the-Range Microwave-Stainless Steel on June 9, 2021. It stopped working on January 6, 2022, seven months after my purchase. Fortunately, it happened within the 12 month manufacturer warrantee which covered the repair, but, I am very disappointed in the poor reliability of this product.

Posted .We're incredibly sorry your microwave stopped working so soon after purchase. This certainly isn't the experience we expect as our products are built to last. Thanks for letting us know what happened and that you were able to get a replacement using your warranty. We appreciate having you as part of our GE Appliances family. -Gina@GEA
Only worked for two years...
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This microwave has stopped working after a little over two years. Before that, the stove light half worked and cut off randomly. I know appliances don't last like they used to, but I expected to get more than two years out of it. What a disappointment...
