Easy install with same mounting details used on my 2002 GE Eterna. Beautiful unit and works well.
I did not understand why the owners manual shows two grease filters on bottom of unit while my unit has no such filters and no place that I can see for grease filters.
Also the installer did not rotate my blower to blow out the front and I do not know if that is an absolute necessity or not as there seems to be a good flow of air,
I do not like that there is a very expensive charcoal filter that is supposed to be replaced every months.

The exhaust is loud and works poorly. Steam and smoke go right past the exhaust filters and roll up the front of the microwave door. Using the outside top exhaust the unit came set up for. Verified blower motor orientation is correct. Very poor suction. The microwave is easy to use, looks nice, and heats food well.

This is our first built-in microwave. We were redoing the kitchen and wanted the vent since we have none for the stove. The settings match my previous GE counter top, so that was a win. It has plenty of room for average use, and the controls are easy. Some items to note:
- I find this one needs your finger on the button a bit longer than my previous two GE microwaves
- It runs the vent when the microwave runs, so it's louder than the countertop models
- The handle can be a challenge to someone short or weaker as opening the door takes a solid pull; the counter top model was easier with the push-button door opening
All in all it's a nice model with some features we didn't have before (like muting), but the things noted above prevent me from going for a full 5-stars.

Overall it's a good oven. I've had it for a year and nothing has gone wrong performed fine. Big drawback for me is the control panel plastic scratches very easily even though I only use cloth on it. Also like all stainless steel it's hard to keep looking clean. I wish I had gone with always appliances .
Functionally the most irritating part is if you leave cooking time on it it thinks there's food in there and forces you to open the door before you can proceed with extra heating. Also I wish the timer on off button was in a different place because I keep hitting it instead of the add 30 second button.

This is a beautiful microwave with many features and easy to handle the installation as everything was supplied. I was able to get this to replaced a Kenmore that stop working after over 15 years of usage and this GE was the best I could find in a hurry at a fantastic price. I hope it will last as long as my old one. The buttons are "push" buttons not the sensitive ones I had on the old one and the door doesn't seem to be as sturdy... but for the price I can't ask for anything else for now.

It is 1000 watt. We weren’t sure how well/fast it would cook. It does very well. “Buttons” rearranged differently but we are learning. Has defrost, popcorn etc. It works for us well. Our main uses are frozen dinners, reheat dishes, pop corn, defrost. It was completely different hole placing when installing. Make sure you measure and check placement first.

Microwave is fine, it’s the stove top light that’s frustrating. It constantly blows out, and the lightbulbs aren’t cheap. AT ALL! It can be a bit annoying especially when you’re in the middle of cooking and the light goes out. So please be aware before purchasing this microwave that you will constantly have to purchase new lightbulbs. Other than that, microwave works just fine.
