Customer Ratings & Reviews

The buttons on the panel have a plastic coating. It appears as though the plastic will peel after a few more uses. Also the inside plastic coating appears to have bubble.

Had to wait to get it installed it was supposed to be new out of box but some some scratches and the touch pad is completely bubbled up. Returning today.

Poor quality broke exactly after a year, the digitizer starts flickering

Love this model brand everything but this one is Loud. Plus did everyone know that microwaves take fuses. Instead of buying a new 1 check to see if the fuse is blown.

I was in need to replace my microwave and decided to go with the GE 1.6 cu ft over the range microwage, i decided to do the installation myself and had no issues, oven it's performing well, up to my expectations. I got it on sale for a good price, it was a win win situation. I would recommend this Micro to anyone.

I needed to replace my over the stove microwave and saw this online for an excellent price. Delivery was quick and i was also able to have it installed and the old one carted away. I cant begin to tell you how surprised i was at how quiet this microwave was compared to my old one. It's also more roomier than the old one as well. It has all the latest features (which my old one didn't) such as one button press for 1-5 minute jobs. I feel like I've arrived in the 21st century. I would recommend this microwave to anyone in the market. It truly was an upgrade for my kitchen.

I purchased this microwave to replace an older GE microwave that we had in our home for 10+ years. One of the deciding factors was that our old over-the-range microwave was smaller (1.4 cu ft.) than all of the newer ones, and we did not want the new microwave to take up more physical space (both height & depth). This was one of the smaller ones we could find while still being 1.6 cu ft. Pros: Great Price; More quiet than our older microwave; 2-speed exhaust fan; 2 counter light options (full and night light); cooking is faster than older microwave; looks visually appealing; In stock at my local Best Buy. Cons: The door feels a little flimsy & is loud to close; The old GE mounting holes did not line up with the new microwave screw holes, so had to drill new holes in overhead cabinet; old GE mounting bracket would not work with this new GE, so I had to remount the bracket. Overall, this purchase has been a good one, despite having to take 2 hours out of my day to re-drill cabinet holes and rehang the new wall bracket (not easy for just one person to do!). I like how well this cooks food and how quiet it is. However, I will wait to see how the door holds up; even though it is loud to close it seems fine so far.

This microwave replaced the original builder installed over the range microwave dating from 1998. It was a simple install and everything works great. The keypad is a little harder to press and the door feels a little clunky but this is the base price point. It was on sale for about $160.

We really like this microwave. It is simple to use yet provides all the functionality one could want. And I love its sleek, clean look.

Needed it in a pinch, was in stock. Mounted easily, runs quietly. Perfect for what I was looking for.

I built my house in 1999 and this unit makes the third I have installed over that time period. The Expected Useful Life (EUL) of this item is typically considered 7 years although the original GE Profile Space-Maker lasted 11 and the previous GE Profile Space-Maker only went a bit over 6 years thus the EUL is a very subjective estimate. This new unit was on sale and it cost me $179.99, which is a good price. It has more than sufficient settings and features and it seems to be relatively sturdy although the general build quality does not seam as robust as the two previous units. The door has a hollow plastic feel to it when if shuts. However, so far so good! It installed fairly easily into the mounting points the previous unit had without much correction although the screws did not match up completely and some new drilling had to occur. It is the SS that is smudge resistant and that is a nice feature for this appliance or any of your other stainless steel appliances. I prefer black which was what the original motif was but I was overruled by the powers that be! If you can vent the exhaust to the exterior I strongly recommend that as the recirculating methodology does not clear sufficiently on this unit or any unit, in my opinion and the opinion of ASHRAE. If you do vent inside you should change or clean you filters every six months. Beyond that for a buck 79 it is the bomb. Good luck

I recently purchased the GE 1.6 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave in Stainless Steel on 12/26/2023, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. The installation process was seamless, and the microwave fits perfectly in my kitchen. The stainless steel design adds a touch of elegance to my kitchen space, complementing the overall aesthetic. I appreciate the attention to detail in its construction, making it not only functional but also a stylish addition to my home. In terms of performance, the microwave has exceeded my expectations. It heats food quickly and evenly, making meal preparation a breeze. The variety of features available make it versatile for different cooking needs, and I find myself using it daily. One standout feature for me is the perfect fit over the range. It maximizes kitchen space, giving a clean and organized look. The intuitive controls and user-friendly interface make it easy to navigate, even for those who aren't tech-savvy. Overall, I highly recommend the GE 1.6 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave to anyone in need of a reliable and stylish appliance. It has become an essential part of my kitchen, and I look forward to enjoying its benefits for years to come.

This GE microwave is a fantastic addition to my kitchen. It heats evenly, is very quiet, and the stainless steel finish looks sleek and modern. The convenience cooking controls are a game changer—super easy to use even for quick meals. Installation was smooth, and it fits perfectly above my range. Highly recommend!

This is a nice sized microwave and the price was perfect for what we were looking for. It fits nicely above our stove and looks great with the separate trim kit that we purchased. It's easy to use and functions great.

Needed a replacement for our microwave that died. First challenge was to find one the same size, and this fit. The reviews looked good, and it was on sale at a great price. I also wanted the big turntable; not all of them have one as large. We decided on this model in stainless steel. Love it so far, especially the express settings. It has enough features without having more than we need. It's also very quiet. It took less than half an hour for our appliance guy to install. Only negative is that it doesn't seem to be fingerprint resistant, but not a big deal. Still a 5-star purchase.

After 12 years my whirlpool microwave bit the dust. I'm very analytical and research things to death. This GE caught my eye after a quick price check, perfomance, and reliability google search. $100 sale price at best buy is a win win situation. Love best buy with their satisfaction guarantee! I have one of five children still at home. My stuff gets well use. I'm happy to say that this microwave outperforms most. - quiet - lots of options - great job on regular operation and defrost mode Only negative is the display is hard to read for an old guy like myself. On the flip side... now that i know the general location of the well used bottons...the cool look outweighs the effort of turning on the light at night to see the display. Cool rules! I might black out my headlights on my beamer...not! I'm a general contractor... installation is basic. Overall I'm very pleased! Hope it goes the distance!

So far so good! Easy to use, sleek, a little heavy to install but it was the perfect fit for our space and a really good price. It's got options without being overwhelming.

Fit perfectly above the stove. Easy to install. Works great.

Had GE for 15 years so my comparison is to the old one. Bought this one about 2 weeks ago Positive: Much quiter than old one Works as well or better than old one While a little smaller fits well and looks good Geek Squad was very good Negatives: You must push the key pad much harder for response (worse problem to me, affraid key pad cover is going to crack over time) Pad is not lighted Time light lights up the whole room at night have trouble making out the time due to the size of the colon (;) between the numbers

Just what we wanted, easy enough to install, works great as expected.
