    Love my GE Over-the-Range Microwave

    I'm in love with this 1.6 cu ft GE Over-the-Range Microwave in bisque/cream! I had concerns about a microwave over the range, afraid I'd possibly spill hot liquids when reaching at eye level but I've had no issues. The exhaust vent has high & low settings that work well and the surface light brightens my cooking area below when preparing dishes on the stove. This light also dims which is great for a late night drink of water or sneaking a snack. The color isn't for everyone but in my small kitchen with antique cream cabinets the microwave and range in the same color makes the space look much larger. Being above range also frees up needed counter area. My only regret is not buying it sooner! I'm very pleased and trust GE appliances to perform well and last for years!

    We love our GE over the range microwave! It looks awesome and works great! We are happy to have a clear, microwave free counter! Gives us so much more room. Love than it has a light underneath and a fan. Makes my kitchen look modern too. We got it for a fantastic price! Great deal all around

    It was a perfect fit for our old over-the-range microwave that die on us. the appearance is pretty neat and modern, the value of the purchased is also great. We were looking for a white one and had to go to several vendors until we found it at Best Buy.

    We love our new microwave (replaced a 22 year old GE Spacesaver). Looks sleek and works great. We’ve had it for about a month and it gets used daily. Also really like the bright lights underneath to brighten the range top - Didn’t realize how poorly lit the stove had been until we turned these on! We also installed it ourselves (we are not technical people so I was scared) but just read the instructions a few times before you start and you’ll be fine! Hope this one lasts as long as the last one! Now I need new stainless steel stove and oven to match :) **Pictures show with surface light off then on.

    Disappointed in the differences

    I ordered this microwave because mine had died. When I was ready to install it, I took it out of the box and the front glass was completely smashed and unusable. I took it back to the store and they were so helpful in returning it, but unfortunately, had no other "open box" units that they could replace it with. So, they returned the money for the microwave to my credit card and told me that the nearest store that had the same product was a little over an hour away. So, I went online and I reordered they same exact product from the other store. When I returned home with the new microwave and unboxed it I discovered that even though the model numbers and the SKU numbers were exactly the same on both microwaves the new one I received was not as nice as the original microwave I had purchased. The holes I had already drilled for the first microwave did not line up with the new microwave and overall it just felt like a cheaper version on what I had originally purchased. At this point, I had already taken out my original microwave that had died, drilled new holes and had everything ready for the new microwave I had purchased, but then had to take it all out because the microwave was broken, and now had drilled and installed new hardware for the microwave I currently had in my possesion...so, I just decided I could live with this microwave. But I am still disappointed that both units were different.
