    This was a perfect replacement for my old one that broke down. Matched up very easily and installation was a snap. Works great, quiet, intuitive features make it easy to use. Stainless steel finish matches our other appliances nicely as well!

    So far so good. Fairly easy install. It was to replace an existing range microwave so the new braxket just went in place of the old one. I did have to open the anchor holes a bit more because the microwave was a couple centimeters bigger other than that it’s working beautifully

    Easy install, the hardest part was installing screen filter for internal venting. Microwave is easy to use and has numerous one button push functions. I’m very happy with my purchase and Best Buy had the best price.

    A good microwave

    This microwave does all the basics we want -- heating at various levels; timed heating, a timer, a reminder. You can make instant oatmeal, a mug of tea or cocoa, heat corn on the cob for a minute before much-easier shucking. The turntable rotates so that the flood is heated evenly. It has a clock that's easy to set. It has a night light that can go on daily automatically. Ours is set to vent to the outside through the wall behind it. You can watch the food being heated through the window. This microwave is quieter than the similar GE model we had purchased 15 years ago that we replaced because of a broken door,. This is a good microwave.

    I bought this because the dimensions are relatively small for 1.6 cubic ft unit and I despise microwaves that hang below the cabinets or stick out 6 inches in front of the surrounding cabinets. I was replacing a GE Profile from the mid-90s and it fit into the existing cabinet cutout perfectly - does not protrude below the cabinets, and the depth expanding out in front of the cabinets is minimal - only a couple inches. I installed with the recirculating fan option as we do not have exterior vent ducting. Usually microwave fans have 2 speeds - loud, and just as loud but moving less air. On this GE the low fan speed is much quieter than the high speed, which is rare and appreciated. My only complaints are that the worksurface light could be a bit brighter, and the buttons sometimes require more pressure than expected. Overall, it does everything I need it to, nothing I don't, and has held up fine for 6+ months now. Would recommend to anyone who isn't looking for bells and whistles.

    This microwave was easy to install and is perfect for our needs. We like its white color because it blends in with the cabinets and adjacent appliances. It's a time saver by quickly cooking or heating up foods and beverages when we're in a rush.

    I recently got the GE 1.6 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave in stainless steel installed to replace a 20+ year old microwave, and it’s been a kitchen game-changer. Here’s the lowdown: • Sleek Stainless: Let’s start with the looks – it’s stainless steel, and it’s gorgeous. Adds a touch of sophistication to my kitchen. • Efficient Heating: When it comes to microwaves, you want one that heats things up quickly and evenly. This GE microwave does just that. No more cold spots in my leftovers! • Spacious: With 1.6 cubic feet of space, it’s roomy enough to handle large dishes. Perfect for reheating dinner plates or popping in that oversized bag of popcorn for movie nights. • Easy Controls: The controls are user-friendly, and I love the convenience of the presets. It’s like having a personal chef at the push of a button. • Exhaust Fan: It also has an exhaust fan, which is a bonus. Keeps my kitchen smelling fresh when I’m whipping up something aromatic. So, there you have it – the GE 1.6 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave. It’s sleek, powerful, and adds a dash of style to your kitchen. If you’re in the market for a microwave that’s as good-looking as it is functional, this one’s a winner!

    Good Microwave, Great Price

    The GE over the range microwave was a great replacement for our old microwave that died after 20 years. It was a great price and was very easy to install using the included templates and mounting hardware. My only complaint is that the popcorn setting does not fully cook a bag of popcorn. I have to add another minute and wait for the popping to stop at about 45 seconds. All other functions are great.

    Nice product so far, buttons are a little odd to press correctly and it is louder than some I've had before. It seems that the vent runs every time it's on, not sure yet if it's a setting or just the way its designed. Installation was straightforward, and the dimensions are accurate. Esthetically it is nice, brushed stainless looks nice and it looks great new.

    Looks great and is rather easy to install. Easy to use and performs well. Fan is very quiet. The downlight really illuminates the cooking surface below. The only concern is that the door fit and latch seem flimsy (no problems, however.)

      Hello DCM2 - this is Nancy at GE. We are glad to hear that this microwave is working out great for you, especially since it performs well, the fan is quiet and the surface light works well. It is normal for the microwave door to have a little give in it, either up or down or in or out, up to 1/8". Further, the microwave door has a firmer spring in the door latch. This may be why the door seems different to you. I hope this helps! We hope you enjoy your new GE microwave for many years to come! GE_Appliances

    This has proved to be an excellent appliance. It was affordable and (fairly) easy to install. Its major virtues are that it isn't that loud and that the touch panel is admirably simple.
