Customer Ratings & Reviews

Replaced my older GE microwave with this newer model and it was very easy to install. The main point with this product is that is very quiet during operation and easy to use. Makes a little noise when turntable is operating but other than that, it’s a great product.

I had an older unit that just quick working. It was an over-the-range model and I wanted to get one that fit in the same space without having to do a lot of cabinet work. This unit filled the bill. I was able to remove the old unit and install this unit in the same space with no problems. I really like the stainless look. Great unit for my needs.

Great microwave it is not too big nor is it too small. It is just right has a very clear, attractive, black coat. I love it.

Great purchase! Wife is happy with this brand and enjoying it as the look is very nice, cant go wrong with GE.

This microwave was purchased as a replacement for our previous one. While it was purchased mainly for its dimensions and price, we were pleasantly surprised at how quiet it was and continues to be. The controls are straightforward and easy to use. It is an attractive addition to our kitchen.

Our GE 1.6 Cubic Ft. Over the Range Microwave is a great product. It's a perfect fit above our range. The white color goes perfectly with out kitchen decor. It's easy to use and has a lot of great functions.

We’ve only had it for a few days, and it basically does what it’s supposed to do out-of-the-box. We installed with rear exhaust configuration. Now that it’s installed, here’s what we know for sure: Pros – • Operates a bit quieter than our 17 year-old Kenmore (which stopped working recently, thus the new unit) • Nice 2-stage surface light covers the range top with adequate brightness on high, and a nice night light level on low. • 2-stage exhaust fan is quieter than the old Kenmore, and seems to move plenty of air. • Programmed buttons have reasoned lead-through menus for adjusting quantity/weight/measure. Cons – • And this is a BIG ONE: very low contrast control panel is impossible to see without ambient lighting. This means turning on the kitchen lights every time you want to use it except when there is sufficient daylight coming in. That’s disruptive to the eyes when you just want a late cup of tea. Under-the-counter or task lighting does/may not shed light on the panel when it is mounted above the range top. The bisque and/or white models will have higher contrast stencils, but the stainless unit also has a black control panel. • Shiny black plastic finish shows fingerprint smudges in high contrast. Other finishes probably fare better. • Grease filters are a very poor fit and barely cover the exhaust cutouts; seem like they could easily fall out with a little vibration.

This is a very nice microwave. Easy-to-use and cooks evenly. The instalation instructions were very clear and easy to install.

Decent microwave, does as it should. Door seems a bit snug/feels like you have to pull pretty hard to open. Could eventually cause issues.

Bought this unit as an open box item. There were no issues. All the parts were in the box. Works great.

I t does everything well lots of shortcut features,easy to clean, especially inside, and outside. There is only one thing I don’t like about it the key pad is not illuminated, you must have the room lights on in the room to see the key pad

On the plus side is that it is very quiet. This applies to the cooking fan as well as the vent fan. The turntable is larger than most and allows a better arrangement of dishes to heat up. What I don't like is the control panel. The LED time display is very bright and the digits are too close together. I find it difficult to read. The lettering on the buttons is also hard to read because it is very faded looking and not distinct. Further, my wife has great difficulty in getting the buttons to respond when she presses on them. Overall, a nice machine for the price, but look at the control panel to see if you like it.

This was a replacement for the exact model number. Unfortunately, our 1st one (3 years old) was damaged due to running it empty for an extended period. The microwave is great - cooks great, looks nice, easy to use. I would have given this 5 stars except for that the installation was difficult because the bottom bracket & top screw locations were changed (even though the model # didn't change). Instead of 3 screw holes on top, it now has 2, and in slightly different spots. The bottom bracket slots went from 3 slots to 2. So I had to move the bracket up slightly, and redrill instead of reusing the existing hardware. That was frustrating. But I would recommend this microwave.

I enjoy my new Over-the-Range Microwave. Installation was straightforward, and I appreciate the updates it has compared to my old microwave.

Bought this range to compliment my oven. It was a challenge for me to install by myself. Other than the installation. It's easy to clean/wipe down. The stainless steal design is sleek. Has an internal light, 2 speed fan. Easy to open and close. The plus side to this product is that it's quiet.

Excellent microwave, works flawlessly so far. My favorite feature of this microwave is the quick start (press and hold 1 for 1 minute, 2 for 2 minutes, etc.). I had a previous GE Profile Microwave with this quick start feature and having to press multiple buttons to put in a cook time would be too inefficient for me. Make sure to measure dimensions, also chose this microwave as it was most similar in size to previous one and best fit in the space above the range. My only minor complaint about it thus far is my old microwave had a melt function and this one does not. However, I've read can just reduce power level to melt butter, etc. It is true they could improve the backlighting and/or visibility of the keypad, but as long as there is some sort of light on in the kitchen I don't have any issues seeing the buttons on the keypad.

I especially appreciate the brightness of the surface light. The keypad is user friendly. The door properly shuts, yet appears to be very lightweight. The power is sufficient. Have appreciated the efficiency of the microwave thus far. Bought the microwave on sale. It was a good deal!

Customer service was excellent! Microwave was easy to install and works great!

Consumer reports recommended and a great price point when on sale at Best Buy. Had to remove the old wall frame (also a GE microwave) and install the one with this unit. Quieter than the old unit and more features. No concerns so far. Did the store pick up - went very well.

Very good product. Price very reasonable. I replace my old broken microwave to new one and it was easy to install.
