love this microwave. GE products are the best.
Learned a lesson on "microwaves" never buy one that fell or damaged while being packaged or in store, no matter how low the price, Because if that door gets out of line even a hair it will cause the fuse to blow constantly. Just buy one that is 100% in superb condition.

This microwave is very nice. It looks sleek and expensive. It works better than any I have ever owned. It is easy to use and heats quickly and thoroughly. It has a vent fan that does a fantastic job. Definitely worth the purchase.

This series of GE microwaves is known to have issues with the display. Mine was good for the first 6 months then occasionally flashed on the 2nd digit. I didn't think anything of it. Just after the year warranty expired the 2nd digit went completely crazy to where it is now often unreadable with the various segments of the number either not showing or randomly flashing like a strobe light. I am now buying a replacement control board to fix this (part WB27X29801) for about $100. Shame on GE for not having better quality control on these.
Also, the glass rotating plate inside is fairly delicate. A coffee mug hit the plate when being placed inside and a chunk of the lip cracked off leaving a jagged edge (another $100 replacement for the official GE plate).
On top of this, Best Buy uses a terrible outside company for installations called Premier Logistics. I have never seen bigger idiots. It’s like the Three Stooges were sent to install this. They were shocked it wouldn’t fit on the existing bracket and were very hesitant to install a new one (like they weren’t totally sure how). When they finally did start installing it 2 guys did most of the work while the 3rd stood around supervising. The supervisor then decided to randomly touch the microwave which he then immediately sliced his hand on and proceeded to bleed all over my kitchen floor while trying to nonchalantly hide his hand from me. I had another terrible experience with Premier Logistics about a year later when a different team came to deliver and install a dishwasher at which point they flooded the kitchen and tried to scam my elderly parents out of $200. Before you buy anything from Best Buy, check to see if Premier Logistics will be involved in any way (delivery, installation, etc.) and if so look somewhere else.
I would not buy this microwave again and I’m very hesitant to buy any appliance from Best Buy because of the aforementioned issues with the install team.

Replaced an older GE OTR microwave. This one fit right in no problems. So far seams to work well. Only thing is I wish the settings panel was lighted up so they can be seen better in a dim lit room.

So far, so good. This microwave is very sleek looking and goes with the rest of my appliances. it was installed quickly and it works very well. Extremely satisfied with the value vs price ratio. IOW, It didn't break the bank but delivers! No complaints so far. I would definitely recommend it and purchase it again.

This microwave is wonderful. I love all the options for cooking that are available. It is very quiet compared to my old Samsung one and a perfect fit. I definitely recommend this microwave oven to all.

Exactly what I was looking for. This white GE microwave over the range oven was replacing my 19 year old similar GE microwave oven. It fit my existing bracket so I didn't have to drill any holes. Easy installation and great value! Delivery was as promised.

I replaced a Samsung microwave that wasn't working because something was wrong with the electrical panel. I first bought a Whirlpool microwave to replace it, but returned it when I went home and realized it would stick out a lot from the cabinets. This GE microwave fit perfectly without sticking out much. It's very quiet and does a nice job of heating foods.
The top opening is the microwave's exhaust vent. It is there so heat, steam, and cooking fumes from your cooktop can escape properly. Your comment regarding this is important to us. We will be sure to pass this along to our product design team for review.

So we’ve had this micro wave just about two years and sadly, it’s kind of a disappointment. It wasn’t the cheapest option but maybe a year into owning it we noticed the sounds turn on and off randomly-not good if you’re using the timer and it’s silent. And it also doesn’t always warm up food for awhile. Again, it’s just here and there and we never know when but we tried to spend some money so we would have something decent for a long time and eliminate excess trash in the world but it really isn’t great.
For this model, the vent fan will automatically start when using any cooking cycle on the Microwave and will operate during the entire cooking cycle. If your microwave runs but is not heating, there could be one of many components that is not working properly. Please make sure the “Timer” function was not inadvertently used. Also check to ensure the door is closed securely; open the door and close it firmly. This confirms the engagement of the door's safety mechanisms. -- If these suggestions do not solve the problem and the microwave still won't heat, please reach out to us (GE Appliances) via private message on Facebook, X, or Instagram so that we may learn more about your situation. Make sure to include your full serial and model numbers, any service confirmation or case numbers you have, along with a copy of this review. Lauren@GEAppliances
