    I love it!! It was a great buy, and I'm getting used to some minor differences in it and my previous microwave which was 11 years old.

    I needed a new microwave and I wanted one in stainless. When I went there the gentleman that was in that section if I needed help. I showed him par of the model number and he knew the exact one I wanted. His personality was spot on, his knowledge was amazing and he called someone to take it to the register and it was all taken care of in approximately 10-15 minutes. Every Best Buy needs a guy like that.

    The reviews can scare you a little, but this microwave is doing great. It replaced an original appliance that had lasted over 20 years. I don't think this one will make it but you never know. Runs quiet, cooks quick and no issues cleaning.

    Easy to install and works great. It is the same size, but much lighter than our old 2011 GE model.

    This microwave oven is just like the oven that died (after eight or ten or twelve years service.) So I have no issues with it. It's just right for us and our kitchen. Besides, I bet it's made in the same factory that makes a bunch of other microwaves.

    This has been a great microwave. We’ve had it about a year. Only reason I’m giving a 4 is because it instantly dented on the front. I honestly don’t even know how. Great product though.

    Everything you need for a basic microwave . The only downside is the digital display is not good enough.

    All the Features we wanted, Quality = Price

    6 Express cook buttons, Turn table switch, +30 sec, all features we wanted. Reasonable cost for the quality level. Installation took longer than expected due to having to switch the exhaust fan since we had no vent, and one of the screw nuts popped out. Had to remove the oven, find the nut, and figure out how to get it snapped back into place. Don't try to force the mounting bolts to start! They have continued to improve these models. The plastic door frame is more substantial, and hopefully will be less prone to breaking if the door is occasionally slammed. Likewise, the front venting as been removed from view, so greasy grime will not be as visible.

    Bought an open box over the range microwave at a good price. I had to modify the existing wall mount since the microwave did not come with the wall mount. So with that said it took a little more effort but was worth the savings.

    New GE microwave fit right back in place of old microwave. I did have to relocate upper mount bolts. Old GE microwave lasted about 14 years of heavy use from us and grandkids.

    This was a replacement for the exact model that I'd bought several years go. Stuck with the same model so that I wouldn't have to change the mounting plate. Fit like a charm, even the the top screw holes. Very pleased.

    We just replaced our original 17 year old microwave and what an improvement. It matches our Kitchen Aid double oven and is very quiet compared to the old one. We only use it for water and minor heating but it's great The light is brighter in high and low. The low is a perfect night light.

    Great Replacement for G.E. XL 1800 Microwave

    The G.E. JVM3160DFCC Microwave Oven fit perfectly. I was impressed the first time I used it to heat something for three minutes. The item came out hot, the ingredients were heated, looked appealing and delicious to eat unlike the previous unit which tended to burn and hardened the texture of the food that was heated. I like the way the display window tells you that your food is ready, The lights under the microwave clearly illuminate the stove top cooling area with no shadows. We made Pop Secret Movie Theater Popcorn and followed the instructions, ON THE BAG, and the popcorn came out PERFECT. I felt like I was in the walk in movie theater... the popcorn was soft, well heated and only a few kernals were leftover. Yes, buy this microwave to replace your old GE over the oven unit. The two Best Buy install team members were quick and cleaned up after themselves. **** TWO THUMBS UP!
