    This microwave exceeds my expectations. I would welcome an opportunity to comment on the gentleman who did the installation. Best, most courteous and efficient installation I’ve ever had on anything and at the age of 81 that’s saying alot.

    This microwave came with easy instructions. It is quiet, easy to clean and warms and cooks things fast and efficiently. We appreciate that it was in store for us to pick up instead of waiting for a delivery like most other stores.

    GE - 1.6 Microwave over-the-range vs Whirlpool

    Good experience on service. For the product itself, compare to my broken Whirlpool pretty same one, this GE one definitely not as good build as Whirlpool, like the top steal cover. I don't like the black control even with pretty well kitchen light, it is hard to see the buttons unless to mesmerized the buttons location. I don't have this issue with Whirlpool's white control at all.

    I gave 4 out of 5 stars because I have only had the microwave for almost a month to date of purchase and install. This unit replaced a Magic Chef unit. This was an open box item, yet still retained the factory sealed tape on the unit itself. This unit goes for over $300 new. But I got it for $170 out the door, including a 3yr extended warranty.

    Initially I was very disappointed with this purchase. I purchased what I thought was the same microwave it was replacing. However the exhaust, plug, and mounting bracket were different and my installation turned into a cabinetry session. That aside, this microwave is great. The functions are easier to use. It is easier to clean. And most noticeably, it is quieter. Disappointed I had to drill new holes and cut out a new pattern from my cabinet, but the microwave cost less than its previous incarnation and is a big improvement.

    We bought this microwave and had Best Buy come out and install it. We’ve only had it for a month but so far it’s been working great! Hopefully it works for 5-10 years before needing another as we’ve had bad luck with microwaves over the last decade.

    This fit the space perfectly. I was looking for a microwave that was less than 15" deep. This worked out great, and matched the stove perfectlu. Looks and works great. Happy with this purchase.

    The latest version of the same microwave that I already had. Original came with home when I purchased it and lasted 8 years. New microwave is basically the same and does a good job at a great price. Easy install.

    Noisy fan won’t go off

    The microwave works fine, the problem is I can’t get the fan to turn off. I read the directions, followed them, but it still goes on every time I use the microwave. It is loud and annoying when not needed. I was thinking of returning it, but installation is too hard, so I’m putting up with the noise.

      The fan will operate automatically under certain conditions. An automatic fan feature protects the microwave from too much heat rising from the cooktop below it. It automatically turns on at low speed if it senses too much heat. If you have turned the fan on you may find that you cannot turn it off. The fan will automatically turn off when the internal parts are cool. It may stay on for 30 minutes or more after the cooktop and microwave controls are turned off. Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback! -Don@GEAppliances GE_Appliances

    We purchased this microwave after returning a Maytag one originally (which was too big). This was the smallest one we could find. It seems to work well. It replaced a 23 year old GE that never gave us any problems. It is a decent microwave for the price

    Love the GE microwave! Installed easily and love the preset cook buttons. Wipes clean easily. Looks sharp and have had no problems with it. We had to replace our old unit due to smoke damage and this was an upgraded model. Better than the original!
