    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.

    Using it in rental unit. Has all the features of more expensive appliances at a fraction of the price. Fits over range perfectly.

    We purchased this item, over-the-range-microwave, to match with the drop-in oven range that we purchased on the same day/time. The primary objective was to purchase a drop-in oven range. We are pleased with the delivery of both, microwave and the range on the same day (5/14/2022). The microwave was installed professionally and we are pleased and happy, but still we ae waiting for the drop-in range to be installed.

    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!

    Replace my Whirlpool microwave which died after 3 years, it was acting up 1 year into it and then the door sensor stop working, then sparks were flying outside the microwave. Never get whirlpool! So I went with the trusted brand GE. I mean I can’t complain for the price, it’s not bad. Only thing I think can be better is the panel. The entire thing is a soft plastic that I feel if I press hard it will rip. Even the clock area is soft. I hope this one last over 3 years.

    Second time buying this microwave. The digital display is going out on the first one. Let's hope this one does better. Otherwise, it's a nice looking microwave that works fine.

    This microwave was a replacement for an 11 year old similar style GE that finally gave out. I was able to place in the same spot and it has worked perfectly as the replacement. Best Buy shipped to my door!

    Pretty basic model that does what it’s supposed to

    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.

    Bought this microwave to replace the old microwave my parents still owned. I bought this because it is the same as the microwave I owned except in a different color. I have been very happy with ours and when my parents needed a new microwave, I knew I would be purchasing another one of these. This microwave has everything a person could need. It is large and has several preset settings that are nice for convenience. My parents have been very happy with the purchase.

    Decent quality for the price you pay. But hang on, many said the install was easy, no way. It's heavy and you need 2 strong people to install it. Better watch YouTube before the self install not just the install instruction it comes with. Yes the door open/close is noisy and the controls are not in fact placed in a logical sequence based on the frequency of the usage, but you'll get used to it!

    Very pleased with our new GE Microwave. Other store told me I wouldn't be able to find a white over the stove microwave. Best Buy salesperson was very accommodating and immediately found what I needed and arranged installation. VERY pleased with the installation person. Highly recommend the product and installation person.
