Customer Ratings & Reviews

This was purchased as a replacement for a 12 year old, top-line KitchenAid over-the-range microwave. It was easy to install myself, priced right and had attractive looks that complemented the rest of the KitchenAid and Bosch appliances. Most impressed with the quietness of the unit. Great basic unit with the key features that does all a microwave should.

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

This is a very capable microwave. It has many of the advanced features of more expensive models in a compact and powerful case. It is sleek, modern and simple yet precise in its design. At ghis price range, no need to look elsewhere. Use it every day and it never fails.

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!

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

[](https://www.homedepot.com/p/GE-1-6-cu-ft-Over-the-Range-Microwave-in-Stainless-Steel-JVM3160RFSS/204394354) The GE 1.6 cu. ft. Over-the-Range Microwave (model JVM3160RFSS) offers reliable performance with 1,000 watts of power and convenient preset cooking modes. Its spacious interior and straightforward controls make it user-friendly. While lacking advanced features like sensor cooking, it remains a solid, budget-friendly choice for everyday kitchen needs.

Purchased online for in-store pickup. Microwave was easy to install and has worked great! Price at BestBuy beat other comparable brands at other retailers.

This fits perfectly! It’s quiet, easy to install and a perfect fit over my stovetop

Easy to install and performs all the basic functions with ease. There is an option to reheat a dinner plate, but, unlike all the other similar quick options, this one doesn't allow you to specify a quantity like: 2. A minor quibble. It is fairly quiet and looks very nice and neat with an easy to read and use control panel.

Exactly as expected. Does what it should do and was a perfect fit for replacing my older model

Great microwave for the price. Easy to use. Works great.

This unit replaces an older GE model with a faulty magnetron (2yr run). So far, it works well and has adequate features that meet my needs. Hopefully it lasts longer than the one it replaced.

I don't "trust" consumer reports for everything. I remember one time they down rated a great motorcycle (I liked and bought) because they tested it and found the flip up gas cap popped up after a crash. What about the positive weighting of great handling, rocket ship acceleration, great hardware etc. The GE 3160 microwave tested well. However, I have found these inexpensive microwaves have small power supplies that tend to burn out more easily. Look at the more expensive computers and you will see nice heavy duty power supplies compared to the budget computers. The average life of microwaves is around 9 years and I will be happy if I get that lifespan from this inexpensive unit. The big issue with this microwave is the flimsy door and chassis. The door is not rigid and the closure is locked via 2 fragile plastic clips. Others have complained about this and once one of the clips cracks it is all over. SOLUTION: Do not slam the door. When you close the door bring so so gently. In one motion close the door up to the 2 holes that lock the 2 door door clips without closing the door all the way. Be sure the 2 male clips are aligned into the openings, then GENTLY push the door home so the clips lock in place. Lotsa luck and hope this helps you.

Fit perfectly and the installation was not hard. Replaced an earlier model. This new one has fixed a design flaw (that failed in our previous version) of raised buttons for three controls.

The product is really nice love it, but the experience with Best Buy was horrible. I don’t know whether I will shop at Best Buy again. I think nobody knew what they were doing rude and they canceled my delivery and didn’t even contacted me very unhappy

We like it because it is similar to the one we already had and knew that the holes to secure the oven would be easier for us to install. What I don't like is that fact that when reheating small items for 30 seconds the item ends up too far in the back of the oven when it is done, like coffee. There are some ovens that always end up close to the front no matter how long/short it is microwaved. For the price it was good.

Spacious over the range microwave with powerful two speed exhaust fan and adequate lighting. Prefer a push button open vs. a handle, but overall good quality for a great price.

This model isn't fancy, but it includes the most-used features such as a revolving turntable, vent fan, and light, all at an affordable price. At 1.6 cu. ft., it's or the smaller side, but adequate for most tasks unless you do a lot of heavy cooking by microwave. It does everything I ask it to do, and being smaller than the 1.9 cu. ft. GE Profile model that it replaced, it doesn't crowd the cooking surface of the range underneath.

We are redoing our kitchen. We had the same model GE over the range micro wave that was about 6 years old As long as everything else was being replaced we decided to put in this new microwave. It is noticeably quieter than the G E we replaced. Easy to use. Really easy to install.

Great microwave easy tonise and fits perfectly over my stove.
