Good performance only lasted 14 months
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this in October of 2018 and the 1-year warranty just expired. It just stopped working last weekend when turned on( just kept tripping the breaker). I tested the thermal fuses and door switches but couldn't find anything wrong. Get the warranty if you buy this. Putting mine out for the trash. The GE microwave we had in our house prior last 16 years.

I DO NOT Recommend
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Extremely disappointed. I bought two of these for my rental property and in less than two years, the over stove light stopped working in both units. The microwave works fine, but the light that provides a safer night-time cooking environment is now non-functional and it will cost me as much to have Best Buy fix it as it will cost to buy and install a brand new unit. I'm very annoyed and feel like I wasted too much money on these microwaves.

Self-installation was a chore
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In addition to self-installation issues, the turntable rollers are too small which makes the turntable unlevel and unsteady. Use of the old MW rollers solved the problem or we would have returned the unit.

Almost perfect installation
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Installation was fairly easy except for one of the retaining screws on top of the microwave. The bracket for the screw detached within the microwave leaving the screw without support.. Considering the appliance is over 50 lbs, the lack of full support is troubling but hopefully the other screws will provide enough support for the appliance.

Defective
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had problems immediately after installing this microwave. I often have to unplug it and plug it back in to get the buttons to work. This morning I was heating up food and after two times of putting the food back in, I realized it is not heating. It's not even two years old. Yes, I should have returned it when I first had problems, but I would have had to have someone come over and unmount it for me.

No More
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this to replace a GE over the range microwave that had the door handle falling off. 1 year and 2 months after installation the handle is now falling off the new GE. 2 months past the warranty expiration of course. Lesson learned no more GE appliances in my home. It functioned very well while it had an intact door assembly.
