80dB while heating up food. Too loud
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy installation, looks nice. Extremely load fan when operating though, Sound level was 80dB standing in front of it, like a hair dryer. The fan "automatically" turns on, so its always loud. It should be a whisper unless I turn on the vent, does the electronics really need 300CFM to keep cool? Many people commented how quite it is, while some had same noise complaint. I Replaced a 20year old GE microwave that was very quite, so I either got a bad unit or that's just the noise levels people are used to now... i will talk to GE about this issue.

Great Basic Microwave.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a basic microwave but it does everything we need it to do. It's easy to use. The stovetop light is great. So many microwaves have dim stovetop lighting but this one is really bright. The only downside to this microwave is the clock display. The numbers are very close together and hard to read. Everything else is great

GE over counter microwave
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This model is a upgrade of my previous microwave.Everthing is same as previous model. The delivery & install went flawless. The installors had to make some minor adjustments for it to fit under my counter. Best Buy price was cheaper than the other big box warehouses.

Daily I Want to Smash It with a Sledge Hammer
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This microwave is attractive, quiet, heats well, and has all the basic functions we need: hence a Consumer Reports "Best Buy." We bought it to replace a GE Spacesaver that served us well for an impressive 35+ years (RIP). My husband and I work from home and use the microwave all day long. We are not picky; we just need basic features to reheat food and beverages. Despite this microwave's good qualities, I deeply regret buying it. (I wish we had simply flushed $200 directly down the toilet and saved all our installation time.) I'd return it but we are past Best Buy's short 15-day return window. (With any luck this one will die within a year as it has for so many other buyers.) Until then, we are trying to tough it out because we hate to waste our $$ and all our installation time. Multiple times a day I want to smash this microwave with a sledge hammer. Why? We underestimated the ongoing annoyance of the poorly designed keypad and a "done" buzzer that (like a smoke alarm) won't shut off on its own. In particular, I hate that an appliance that was once my slave is now my master. Example: if I heat a beverage and run upstairs, I MUST race back to the kitchen when summoned: otherwise the beeper keeps chirping intermittently--annoying my nearby husband. It does NOT shut off on its own as our previous microwave did. Also, in the past, I was able to use my microwave timer for other tasks---but no more. I had to buy a portable timer so I don't have to keep racing back to the kitchen as summoned by the microwave. In addition, the poorly designed keypad is a constant annoyance. It's hard to read and use because of: 1. the poor color contrast between the button text and background (for us light gray on white) 2. no backlighting and 3. poor button placement. I hate that the most used "Add 30 seconds" is buried in the middle of other less-used buttons like "Turntable." Ideally it should be in the bottom right--easier to find and closer to "Start." I tried to adjust to the layout for several weeks. But in the end I got tired of scanning and just put bright stickers by the most needed buttons. (And yes, it's not fashionable to have bright stickers on your microwave. But it works--whereas the keypad layout doesn't.) The first rule of design is that Form should follow Function..and that doesn't happen with this microwave. As Randy Pausch taught his students (by destroying an annoying VCR with a sledgehammer on his first day of class): When you “make something hard to use, people get upset. They become so angry that they want to destroy it. We don’t want to create things that people will want to destroy.” And that is precisely what GE has done with this microwave. It's too bad that such a nice microwave is spoiled by a poor user interface: but it is. And for that reason, I give it a single star.
