    We wanted to upgrade our appliances from black to stainless and found this as one of the best sellers on the market. It's a simple install and looks good!

    We bought this one to replace existing GE microwave that we broke the handle on. This one looks and performs much better than the old one! Can’t go wrong.

    Love the microwave, don't love the installation template. Very difficult to install, even with 2 able bodied people. Professional installation should be recommended or a "difficult installation" disclaimer should be placed on all above the range microwaves!

    Decent GE Replacement, but...

    Bought as a replacement for GE Cafe microwave that was 10 yrs old. This one was a near perfect fit/replacement. But word of advice, make sure old wall bracket is EXACTLY the same as the bracket included with the new microwave. Our old one was slightly off, but has an excellent hold and is level. One thing I noticed is that the interior microwave gets hot when the surface lights over stove are on alone (and microwave has not been used). A bit bizarre because our previous microwave didn't do that. I believe the lights are halogen, and they do get hot to touch so be careful. Wonder if they can be replaced with LED? Will have to look that up in the future...if they can, then this becomes a non-issue. The buttons are good, but unable to see well in low light settings. Wish they were pre-lit, but for this price range may be a tough ask. If you eventually memorize where to press over next few weeks, should be a non-issue. We are happy with it, and price was decent. Another word of advice, get a buddy or spouse to help install it. I'm 145 lb and this was a heavy beast to install on my own, lifting above my head on a bracket away from my body over a built in stove. I nearly got an umbilical hernia (not joking) trying to be superman and install it myself. Not worth it, will hire somebody next time. I really hope this holds up, as a microwave it does a good job like the old one, but the heat buildup when lights are on is a bit weird as I mentioned. Looks sharp in our kitchen. Decent replacement.

    Quieter than previous GE model, but the buttons are hard to read and in low light almost impossible. Works great and I am. Concerned over time I will have the same trouble with this one that I did with the old one. They seem to have the same door latch mechanism for allowing the microwave function. Really satisfied overall. I did have to resort to going to an actual store as the online system allowed me to purchase a product that wasn't, in fact, in stock.

    This replaces a 15 year old model that died. Looks the same and has all the same functions, which is to say, everything we need it to do. Didn’t go for any of the new fancier options (different ways of cooking, etc). This has very quiet operation compared to last one, a white clock light, and was easy enough to install. Only issue was after removing grill at top for the install, upon replacement, the door always clicks loudly upon opening. Haven’t been able to figure a way to fix that after multiple attempts.

    This is the 3rd GE microwave I have purchased for over-the-stove in about the last 20 years. The last one was purchased in 2005. I think that is more than enough time (since we use it a lot) that it last. Based on that, I purchased this one and so far it is working well. The features are about the same so learning how to use it was easy. It does not have the auto sensor like my last one and I wish I had bought the next model up because it is a little more complicated to reheat food without it. It is a nice looking unit. So, sofar, so good!

    Have only had this microwave for three weeks, but so far so good. Replaced an old GE Profile, which still worked great, but had to replace my stove, so got the microwave to match. Would have gotten another GE Profile, but they seem to be double the cost these days. My only negative on this new GE microwave is that you cannot turn off the beep when the cycle is complete. The GE Profile has the ability to kill the sound. Otherwise, working great.

    I previously owned a GE microwave and wanted to stay with them. I have had this microwave for a month now and it works perfectly. I like that it is quieter than my previous model.
