Overall good price for the money spent, took away a star due to not being able to see the numbers panel when the kitchen is dark, no backlit. Surprisingly most are not, my old one was white and was easy to read with low light from the stove, also old bracket was different than the new one, easy switch but I thought being my old one was 2018, I assumed it would be the same.

I love this microwave! It replaced another GE microwave of the same size. I was able to use the old microwave hanger on the wall. However, I had to drill new mounting holes in the cabinet that is over the microwave to line up with the hole pattern on this microwave. It comes with a hole template, but read the instructions on the hole template carefully.

This has less room top to bottom inside than my old unit. Looks nice. Works well. I am short so it is harder for me to stir something while still inside.

I bought this GE Spacesaver microwave to replace a higher end GE Spacesaver. I never used all the bells and whistles on the older GE so a basic microwave was all I needed. The microwave does the job and I am happy with the purchase. I was disappointed that the bracket did not match the old microwave - which is one of the reasons I stayed with GE - so the installation was quite a pain and took much longer than I had hoped. The only negative comment I have is that the numbers on the digital display are very close together and can be difficult to read. Other than that, everything is great. Very good product for the price.

Well, that is because I am a good cook, but, this helps when reheating.
I installed my self, and it was pretty easy - standard microwave and good for the price.

I have been well pleased with the purchase of the Microwave. I was even more pleased with the installation. The person who installed the Microwave had to overcome some obstacles regarding the structure of my house and he did a remarkable job of overcoming the obstacles resulting in a great installation and he did the job himself without help from anyone else. I was very impressed.

Bought this one instead of the old GE JVM 1630 that I had, which finally gave up the ghost and repairing it would cost more than this model. This one is, in a word, disappointing. Pros: it's about the same size so it fit ok in the existing space. It also has 2 vent fan speeds and placement of the vent is about the same as on the old one, so I did not have to change the duct. But otherwise I think it doesn't stack up to the 10+ year old model. It seems flimsy, LED display is smaller than on the old model, turntable is also smaller. It's a lot louder when it's running and seems to not be as powerful - heating up a cup of water in the old oven took 1.5 minutes, but this one does not get it hot enough on the same amount of time. It looks and feels cheap.
I bought this one after reading the online manual thinking that I can reuse the holes from the old mounting, but the unit I got has a 'new installation' kit, which only has small horizontal bracket, instead of a large rectangular bracket that I expected. So I still had to drill 3 new holes in the wall. Placement of top retaining screws is also different, so 2 more new holes had to drilled in the bottom of the cupboard. So overall lots of work for quality and looks that doesn't compare to a 10 year old model.

Only wish it had auto night light feature

I REALLY like the microwave! It's quiet, efficient and convenient. No problems there.
I appreciated that given the wide window of the appointment, the installers came early. However, they seemed to be in such a hurry to accomplish their mission that they left a mess of sawdust and didn't even wipe out the cupboard above the microwave. They were finished in less than 40 minutes but left a mess behind.

Needed a replacement microwave for a Kenmore. This unit is simple and easy to use. Has all the functions I need and looks nice above the stove. Happy with purchase.
