    This is one of the worst things I have ever tried to install in my life. Im sure the microwave is fine, but the installation is a nightmare. I would rather kill myself than ever have to deal with this again.

    Microwave is nice, however mine was delivered damaged the first time and then returned. The second time it was delivered with no installation, we rescheduled Installation and they did not show. So we rescheduled again. When they arrived to install it, they opened the microwave and it was damaged again. Best Buy was notified by the team and they have still not contacted me.

    Microwave broke after about one week with smoke. Tried to replace and they dropped off new microwave without installing. No apologies. Tried to order another time to install well Best Buy canceled that order and the pick up S well. It has taken around 6 phone calls and a month to get a working microwave!

    This microwave completely died...right after the 2-year mark. So, we basically paid $200/year to use this piece of junk. What a waste of money. We will never buy a GE product again.

    16 months after purchase the microwave had a number of issues such as turning on randomly on its own. GE would not replace or fix despite the hazards involved. Door handle also broke.

    This microwave does not heat food evenly. I also replaced the lights underneath with LEDs and they randomly flicker and go out.

      Hi David! Thank you for your review! We're sorry to hear that your model is not heating properly and that you've had issues with replacing the cooktop lights. We can understand how that would be frustrating. We'd recommend taking a look at an article titled "FOOD TAKING TOO LONG TO COOK IN MICROWAVE" on our website. It offers tips to try if your food is taking too long to cook or if it is not cooking properly. We hope that this is helpful! All the best. -Michael@GEA GE_Appliances

    I purchased my second GE - 1.6 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave because I had a very good experience with the first and it lasted 4 years with no issues until a power surge fried it. My second purchase only has 6 months of service and already has started making very strange and scary noises in the time that we have used it.

    This microwave went out 2 months 6 days after purchase. of course the warranty was for 1 year. I was very disappointed that I have to pay 109.00 plus parts and labor to have it repaired. Says it was made in 2020 amazing to me it broke down in 2021. I thought GE was a good brand. : )

    Microwave Installation Is Lacking

    I purchased the microwave on May 10, 2020 and picked it up at the store. I requested installation and on the day I was to meet at the store to schedule an installation date, the appointment was cancelled. Went to the store and was told to call the Geek Squad to set an installation date. I did. It was scheduled for June. No one called or came. So On June 30, 2020 I have an unopened microwave sitting on the kitchen floor.
