Excellent above stove microwave. Instructions easy. Removed the broken microwave and installed this one. Previous support bracket was identical. Converted easy to room vent situation.

Bought this to replace the same model from 10 years ago. Thought it would be the same or better. Turned out to be cheaper and worse in terms of quality.
Also, the bolts are not in the same spots and the mounting plate changed. I thought it was going to be a simple swap, but it required a bit more effort than expected.
The touch pad is cheap. Pressing certain buttons make a cheap plastic creaking sound which didnt happen my old unit. The blower unit also makes a high pitch noise that didnt exist on my old microwave. If you're sensitive to noise, you may want look elsewhere.
The door is very light and feels cheap. The top edge of my door was grinding against the adjacent edge of the microwave housing or cover. It made a popping sound every time I opened the door. I had to get a screwdriver and hammer to reshape the metal housing to fix the problem. Bad QC by GE.
There is only one light bulb instead of two found on older models, so this one is dimmer but still ok.
Otherwise, the microwave works fine.
We are happy to hear that your microwave is working well and appreciate you taking the time to provide your feedback on the unit. We do take this seriously and will pass your comments about the functionality of your unit to our product team so they may look into this further as we are always looking for ways we can improve moving forward.

Ease of use. The bottons reqire a little more pressure than my old unit but for the price, you can't beat the functions. The fan is not loud even on high and the light has two settings.

Installers were fantastic and very professional. They called to ask if it was convient to come earlier then originally indicated, which worked out extremely well.

simple and similar to what I had before
Other reviews complain about the numbers not lighting up - I don't have a problem with that, I don't need it & my old one did not have that feature

My 20 year old GE microwave kicked the bucket. Luckily found this model and it was almost an exact replica. I love the express buttons, can't live without them. The door feels a bit stiff so I worry about damaging it if it's pulled too hard. You really have to "slam" or push the door shut otherwise it pops back out toward you. Overall very happy with the microwave and the options/ features.
