    Love my new microwave! Has all of the features I need including the color bisque. I'm happy that it has a handle instead of a push button. (my previous microwave's button wore out) Great purchase and great price!

    Fit perfectly, works well, and the vents work well too. Had to replace the mounting bracket from the previous microwave but it wasn't too difficult.

    Nice Oven

    The microwave oven is fine. One pet peeve: Not sure how GE bolsters customer loyalty by requiring a different bracket and new mounting holes for every microwave oven. This isn't rocket science; design to a mounting standard so customers WANT to come back to an EASY GE installation.

    Apparently made to only last 1-year...

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I threw out a 30-year old microwave that worked great, just because I wanted stainless steel vs white appliances... Before choosing one, I checked Consumer Reports, and bought the (this) best rated microwave by GE, which was also on sale at Best Buy. It worked for 1-year, and then it started tripping the breaker. When I turned the breaker back on I could use the light, exhaust fan, and clock, but not the microwave. I had an Electrician change the breaker, but it still kept tripping it. He tried plugging it into a different outlet/breaker, and it tripped that one too...so it was clear that the microwave was the problem. While conducting these tests, the microwave then turned off completely, died. I called Best Buy, but they said the 1-year manufacturer warranty has expired, so they can't help. Seems like it was made to only last 1-year... They offered a Technician to come out for $99 p/visit. REALLY?!? This is the WORST microwave oven I've ever had. GE should be ashamed. My husband reminds me daily how I threw out a good old appliance to purchase a crappy new one. I will never hear the end of it...and now I have no microwave. I'm so upset!!!

    Doesn't last

    This was a nice microwave until it wasn't. It seems like the control panel is going out. You press a button and it doesn't work. You can close the door after cooking and it keeps cooking. Press the 1 and it does not come on. This is only 2 years old. I will now have to go buy another microwave but it will not be a GE.

    Love this microwave! And loved the convenience even more. My microwave went out and it felt amazing to grab a microwave the same day I needed.

    Can't see through door

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I replaced an older model of this microwave, having no problems with older model. Biggest problem is (although manual claims you can) I cannot see inside microwave when food is cooking. I wouldn't know if food boiled over etc... Is this normal for this model. Not a problem with older model.

    Ge microwave

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought this microwave to replace the same model that the handle fell off. The main reason I purchased this model was so I wouldn’t have to change the bracket. Ge changed the bracket so an easy 1 hour job turned into a 2 hour hassle needless to say my next microwave won’t be a ge. I also called best buy to see if it was compatible and I was told yes

    Challenging installation

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I had a challenging installation, in part because of my 15 inch deep upper cabinets. If you have 15 inch deep cabinets, you'll need a "bump out kit" rather than the standard mounting plate. For some reason this kit seemed to cause us trouble. Specifically, it seemed to make the microwave not level front to back. The instructions don't mention this. Also, if you are installing this for re-circulating, you need to swap the direction of the fan. If you are planning to have it installed, then these things are probably not important, but for the DIY installer, it is challenging.

    4.8 stars, really. Overall a great purchase. Works great. Plate rotation is awesome. My only issue is button controls, and the lack of sensitivity. Takes quite a little pressure for buttons.

    Works great but overall impression is that components are lightweight. Only time will tell if the microwave stands up to daily use.

    Prefect replacement

    Looks great and works great but is a bit loud when operating. It fit perfectly in the old spot where the old one was so I only needed to relocate one hole in the cabinet above it.
