Customers are saying

Customers have good things to say about the ease of use, installation, and performance of this 1.7 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave. Many appreciate its size, price, and the various features it offers, along with its attractive appearance and quiet operation. However, some customers have noted concerns about the door's sturdiness and the control panel's ease of use and susceptibility to scratches. A few also mentioned issues with fingerprint smudging and the microwave's light.

    The unit I bought was terrible. Within the first year I had to replace the door switch. I've owned this unit for 2 years & 20 days. Now the Magnetron (the part that creates the microwaves) is defective. OF COURSE it only comes with a one year warranty. Pretty sad... the unit looks as good as the day I bought it and is nothing more than a paper weight.

      Hello, thank you for your review. We are very sorry that your microwave stopped operating properly so soon into its lifespan and that it needs a new magnetron. Our appliances are built to last and this is not something we would expect to hear. Please know that we value your business and apologize for any unexpected inconvenience this may have caused. We sincerely hope to have a chance to earn back your trust and business in the future. -Chris@GEA GE_Appliances

    Description says that it comes with oven wire rack. Neither the microwave came with rack nor microwave has hook to place a wire rack. I realised this after installing the microwave and bestbuy wont help as the installation is not through geeksquad. Horrible service

    There's good and bad in this review. This Microwave lasted 28 days. Just stopped working. That's the bad. The good is Best Buy handled this situation great. I got another Microwave (a cheaper one) , installed it and it's still working great.

    This is supposedly a stainless steel, but I don't think it is. It is very difficult to clean/shine, even when using the Stainless Steel products. Using a cloth for stainless steel leaves streaks and it looks dirty at all times.

    Vent motor burned out right after installation

    Spent hours installing it only to have the vent motor completely burn out within 2 minutes, which blew smoke into the kitchen. I didn't have to do anything with the vent motor either since it was already configured the way I needed it. Complete waste of time. Don't feel confident trying another one.

    After only a year it started to act weird. Turning on by itself. Keeping the fan and light running when a cycle was finished. Not recommended.

    The microwave makes a lot of noise. I don't if that is common with this model, but the one I had before didn't make that. The technician who made the installation reported the problem and I haven't received an answer. I thought this store was serious about complains, but doesn't.

      Hi there, and thanks for reaching out. We sincerely hate to hear you have a concern over the noise made by the model – we know any unexpected noise might be worrying. We also regret any inconvenience you’ve experienced because of a delay in getting an answer to this concern. We do expect some noises to be created by the microwave, including a dull thumping or hum while it’s operating, a slight humming when it’s not operating, possible clicking right after starting the cycle, etc. More information on what is normal for the microwave is available in the manual, which can be viewed on our GE website by looking up the model number. If you believe the noise you’re hearing is out of the ordinary, our Service Department is available at 1-800-432-2737; a technician would be able to diagnose and repair an issue with the microwave. Our Cooking Products Design team will also be informed of your concern over noise for future review; we value your insight. We’re always happy to help if you have any other inquiries or concerns. -Sarah@GEA GE_Appliances
