  • AVOID! Bad Design flaw with fuse.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This model felt really nice at first. But beware the faulty fuse! If you open the door before the microwave is done cooking it shorts out the entire system. This started happening after about a year... well out of Best Buy's warranty period. You then have to remove the front and top vent in order to replace the fuse. So infuriating. After searching message boards, I found out this is a common issue with this model which we didn't know before buying. Since we bought it we've changed the fuse at least 10 times and it still occurs. Major defect. Avoid buying this model if possible!

    It took me a long time to pick a microwave. For the price point and everything about it is just perfect. Couldn’t be more delighted and I question myself before I purchased it and so glad I did

    Bought this to replace a 15 yr. old GE. Not as well made as the old one, somewhat noisier. Functions are basic, maybe we should have spent more for a higher end model? Hope it lasts as long… I put “yes” to recommend for a friend because they didn’t have a maybe and we haven’t had it long enough!

    It’s the bare bones. The size, brand and color was what was needed for a “plug and play” replacement in over the range type. However, nothing is made the way or quality it used to. Now two tabs instead of four tabs on the mounting bracket. Grille vent plate is gone in style to small vents above the door. Smaller turntable plate. Otherwise, it’s working so far.
