    Attractive and powerful microwave

    Microwave has good power for its size. Aesthetically pleasing and display is easy to use. One annoying feature is that the microwave will ask you to “insert food” again, if you leave food inside and attempt to re-heat it without opening the door.

    Does all the basics. Install was pretty simple with two people. Nice to be able to see it at Best Buy and then buy and take it with you.

    The manual for assembly is poorly written, and the phone number given to call for assistance will lead you to a series of dead ends as none of the options you get upon calling actually offers any advice or guidance. The actual microwave is seemingly a quality product.

    This works as advertised. No bells and whistles but does a good job. Note that the new version of this same model doesn’t use the same bracket as previous years

    Excellent product. A bit better than our other GE Microwave, which lasted 8 years. The keypad buttons were placed differently on this model, but, after learning where the most frequently-used buttons were, it was easy to to use. Hope this one lasts 20 years !!

    I purchased this microwave to replace another GE over-the-range micro. That one lasted 17 years and I hope this one does as well. I like this micro but still having issues getting used to the touch pad (the buttons are rearranged from my old one). This new one is much faster than my old one. The installation, thru Best Buy, was great with no issues.

      Hi, we're sorry to hear about your previous model, but we're glad you found this Over-the-Range Microwave to be a suitable replacement. It's always exciting to get a new appliance, and it's even better when it exceeds your expectations. Thanks for the review and have a great day! -Sylvia@GEA GE_Appliances

    1st microwave I installed my self. No issues I took out the old one the brain was shot. Put the new one in no issues. Only problem was the explanation of the grease rap not very clear where it went and the holes were tight to line up a little more play with the hole alignment would have made it a breeze

    I bought this to replace an old model which lasted about 15 years. Since the GE brand has been good to me, I figured stick with the brand. I found it pretty easy to install (without outside ventilation).

    It is hard to review something without enough time to use it regularly. When we have a tenant moving into our rental, I am looking forward to a quality product. Best Buy delivered the best deal with shipping for the item we selected. This makes my commitment to purchasing items from BB a very positive experience.

    A nice looking microwave. This was a replacement for our old one. I like the express buttons. My old one had 3 but this one has 6. I bought this one because it was available and a good price. GE has good products!

    Ok Throw-away microwave

    So, now a days it seems most major appliance manufacturers make trash appliances that you are better off throwing away when the fail vs trying to repair. This microwave is no exception. This particular model, we have found, lasts around 2 years of high usage, then it is time for the trash. It's an inexpensive microwave so our expectations are pretty low. The style of the microwave is decent. When it works, it works well. We just figure it's around $100/year for this appliance and it is what it is.
