    I only had this microwave for two months and it completely stopped functioning. It does not turn on at all and there is nothing wrong with the power outlet. Now I find out that the returnable date was two days ago. What a waste of money.

    I had to return it, because It was very loud. The door wasn't level. I tried to use Best buy website to return it and get the label to be shipped and didn't work, I had to drive more that 45 miles to return it.

    Not happy. I was told it didn’t matter how much space between the stove and microwave, because it was an electric stove. When the geek squad arrived, they came in, measured, said there wasn’t enough room, and off they went.

    We bought this about a year and a half ago and don’t use it everyday and the handle broke off!!! It is above our stove and I’m wondering if the heat from stove caused this but our last one lasted at least 5 years!!!

    When you turn on the exhaust fan, it had an unbearable whistling sound. We were told by the installer that they all did that. I said, nope! We were also told that one from another manufacturer would be quieter so we bought the LG. Our rating is already posted for that unit.

    Worthless product! Had for just over 2 years and it quit working. A lot of money for only 2 years worth. Called Geek Squad and they are unwilling to help figure out what needs to be done to get it working.

      Oh no! We hate to hear the microwave has quit working so early in its life. This is very frustrating and we understand how inconvenient this must be. If Best Buy is unable to repair the microwave, please call our service technicians at 1-800-432-2737. They will be happy to take a look. Thanks. - John@GEA GE_Appliances

    Very loud and high pitched fan. By loud I mean really really loud. Louder than any other vent fan I've heard. And it comes on whenever you microwave. I'd stay away from this one.
