    After one month of buying this it break down. You cant heat up the food . They said the magnetron is not working. The sad thing is it happened after 30 day that you cant return it to best buy. But I called the GE and they repaired it after 2 weeks.

    It heats things up real nice! Buttons push well. If you pull on the handle the door opens. What do you want from me?

    I purchased the GE 1.6 cu ft Over-the-Range Microwave-Stainless Steel on June 9, 2021. It stopped working on January 6, 2022, seven months after my purchase. Fortunately, it happened within the 12 month manufacturer warrantee which covered the repair, but, I am very disappointed in the poor reliability of this product.

    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!

    Nice and quiet microwave. The only issue is you need to use a soft cloth to clean. Surface scratch easy.

      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.
