Good microwave. Bad customer service
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Microwave is nice, however mine was delivered damaged the first time and then returned. The second time it was delivered with no installation, we rescheduled Installation and they did not show. So we rescheduled again. When they arrived to install it, they opened the microwave and it was damaged again. Best Buy was notified by the team and they have still not contacted me.

||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don’t understand why California gets all the crap models but this one is neutered with all the idiot features. You can’t turn off the beeping and mute this microwave.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendWorst experience
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Microwave broke after about one week with smoke. Tried to replace and they dropped off new microwave without installing. No apologies. Tried to order another time to install well Best Buy canceled that order and the pick up S well. It has taken around 6 phone calls and a month to get a working microwave!

Microwave
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice and quiet microwave. The only issue is you need to use a soft cloth to clean. Surface scratch easy.

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is one of the worst things I have ever tried to install in my life. Im sure the microwave is fine, but the installation is a nightmare. I would rather kill myself than ever have to deal with this again.

||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Went out after a month. Customer support was impossible to speak to anyone. Cut my loses and bought a different model. Save your money! Lots of reviews similar to mine.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Defrost settings burns food instead. May not actually have defrost functionality. Many of the buttons on the microwave don't actually work.

||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.16 months after purchase the microwave had a number of issues such as turning on randomly on its own.

No, I would not recommend this to a friendDied After 2 Years
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This microwave completely died...right after the 2-year mark. So, we basically paid $200/year to use this piece of junk. What a waste of money. We will never buy a GE product again.

dissapointed
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased my second GE - 1.6 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave because I had a very good experience with the first and it lasted 4 years with no issues until a power surge fried it. My second purchase only has 6 months of service and already has started making very strange and scary noises in the time that we have used it.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First microwave died after a year and 3 months. Purchased a replacement because I did not want to deal with new brackets. Hopefully, this unit will last longer.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendOpen box is really smash and dent, damaged produc.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Don't buy open box. Bought a supposed "like new", open box microwave. Found out after installation was started that the bottom was smashed like a soda can. This GE microwave is made of paper thin sheet metal. Huge hassle to save 50 dollars. Wasn't worth it.
