    I had no idea hat kjnd of microwave I needed. I only had the outside measurements. My salesperson, who's name I can not remember, was so helpful. I had narrowed it down to a couple but I needed to talk to my contractor. He told me they would only be on sale until the end of that day. Sales pitch, maybe?? I went to my car, called my contractor for advice then I googled Best Buy. Sure enough, the ad said on sale until that date. I went back in and bought the microwave we had decided on. The guy went to the storeroom to make sure it was in stock, brought it out for me, then got another guy and they loaded it into my SUV for me! Wonderful!

    I had to unexpectedly purchase this microwave during the Covid-19 Pandemic stay at home restrictions, following multiple Earthquakes that hit my area during the stay at home restrictions, If the pandemic itself was not enough to worry about. The earth had to shake things up a bit more! I believe my other one, which was not that old, must have had a power surge during the initial 5.7 earthquake. fortunately that my only real damage. And this was not a good time to be without a microwave, for sure. you can not be at stay at home restrictions during a pandemic and NOT have a microwave! I got online, ordered this microwave and had my brother help me install. I chose GE because I was replacing a GE and hoped all the mounting hardware would match up. The bracket did, but had to drill new holes for the mounting screws. all in all, it was installed in about a half hour. It is quieter than my old one, which I am very happy with. The old one had more features but this one has plenty for my needs. The only thing I can say I wish was different, is.. My old one had green digital lights for the time and such, that matched all my other appliances, but this one has white digital lights. wish it had the same display lights, but I will get used to it. I would recommend this microwave. It looks good, installed easily for my situation and is quiet. The last thing I want to say is THANK YOU Best Buy for being open for curb side pickup during a very different time in the world and being open and available to me when I need this item. Thank you!

    Amazing product! Incredibly easy to install and very user-friendly. I bought this as a replacement for my old one, and as a woman, I was initially nervous about installing it myself. However, the process was surprisingly simple, quick, and hassle-free. It’s also lightweight, which made handling it even easier. Highly recommend!

    I read lots of reviews. So fair to post one. Works great. Quiet. Fan option is nice. I installed by myself. Looks great. Most folks don't use any of the features. They just toss in the food and pick a time, but I had some leftovers today, chose "reheat", chose the type of food, chose the approximate amount (1.5 cups) and my food was heated perfectly. Time will tell, but so far I picked a good one.

    It took a while to get it but it was worth the wait. We had it vented to outside the house. The 3 speed vent fan pulls everthing right out of the kitchen. My smoke alarm hasn't gone of since I got it. Best microwave I've ever had.

    So far am really happy with this microwave. Have been only using it for about two and a half weeks. Has worked well and is very spacious. Was easy to install by my son in law. Looks good over the stove. My kitchen is in the process of being remodeled so this over the stove microwave was an upgrade. A very welcome one! Also was a good price.

    It is easy to install, easy to start and easy to operate. Cleaning is simple. Heat is uniform. Overall, a very solid item at a very nice price, complete with installation and haul-away of the old one. Looks sharp, too!

    It’s a solid product. We understood that it wasn’t top-of-the-line when we purchased it but it meets our need. The only concern we have at this point is it would seem that we have some mild peeling of the film on the control plant panel.

    Bought this to replace my old GE Spacemaker. Got the first one with unaligned door and replaced with a new. Build quality is so plasticky not as solid as the old spacemaker. Mounting bracket has only two screws instead of four. Similar operation logic and functions to the old. Hopefully it can last for 15 years as my old one was.

    Brought it home and spent most of the afternoon taking out the old one, putting in the new wall bracket and installing the new unit. Instructions were easy to follow. Unit operates well, is much more quiet than the old unit. Have to listen to make sure I pushed start. Seems to be a good value.

    Was looking for a smaller microwave for over my range. This came in with a 15 and 1/2" depth and 16 and 1/2" height. which was one of the smaller ones out there. So far the microwave works great, looks great, and has freed up a lot of counter space. Not too difficult to install - had a little trouble getting it into the slots at the back of the frame on the wall but the second attempt was the charm. Definitely a two-person installation job.

    It really is a nice unit for the price. We were replace a unit that went bad after 12 years. Install wasnt too bad but you need an extra set of hands during some parts of the install. The microwave is a lot quieter than our old one and seems to take less time to cook the same items. Has some nice features and would buy again!
