Purchased this microwave to replace our 16 year old one. It is the same brand (GE) and was on sale. Works great, love the "melt" function (use to melt butter), and looks nicer than the all black one it replaced. It is noticeably louder than our original GE over-the-range microwave but we are getting used to it.

Installation was fairly straight forward. The microwave looks great and operates flawlessly.
This review is from GE - 1.7 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave - Black Stainless Steel

The Samsung I had only lasted 27 months and the handle would not catch. Samsung gave me the run around and the repair person told me I should just replace the whole appliance for what it would cost me to fix the handle.
I ended up buying a new GE microwave and I am already extremely happy with it being a much more solid appliance. The quality is astoundingly better then the Samsung.

It is a little pricey for what you get. The intructions are not clear at all when it comes to removing the film. As i was taking the film off, I noticed a film on the inside of the door. So it was removed. Since the film was thicker, I just wanted to confirm that it was supposed to come off or not. There is NOTHING in the instructions about it. I'm lucky that I didn't damage it as when I googled it, On the GE website, it explains not to remove it. Well crap. I was able to re-apply it as it also states on the website that if removed, do not use it and call service.

We love this microwave, mainly because of its looks and the fact that it comes in slate (very few do), but as far as performance, we have had two already that have not lasted long. The first one we inherited when we purchased our house and the house had only been occupied for a year prior to our moving in (so the microwave was only a year old, the house was built a year before). We used it for less than a year before it broke and needed to be replaced. So it had about a 20 month use-life (the GE warranty is only 12 months). We purchased the same microwave to replace it, thinking the first had been a lemon. Fortunately, we also purchased the additional 5-year Geek Squad warranty for $100. After about 38 months of use (a little over three years), this one has also died. So we are waiting for a repair now and do not know if it will need replacing. We waited to post a review until we saw how this one did, but it also did not last too long. If you are purchasing this microwave, spring for the additional warranty because it will not last long. Planned obsolescence at its finest.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

We have had this unit for about a year. Absolutely no issues…vents well, very attractive and quiet.

I needed a replacement microwave and I had the Whirlpool appliances in the past which did not last. So I went back to the old reliable “GE”. It’s durable, dependable and looks good. Although, I found the vent system to be useless and poorly designed because the vent is on top instead of face forward and air flow blows all the fumes up onto your cabinet and ceiling which would eventually damage the ceiling drywall and the filters are not made well enough to catch enough of the food grease and particles and smell from cooking. Aside from this flaw, I trust and stand by the GE brand and I still have my GE Profile refrigerator that was purchased in 1994 and it’s still working great.

First time having OTC microwave and I really can’t be more thankful! Starting from how it saves me space in my tiny kitchen to how it’s big from the inside and has plenty of options to help on my busy day!

replaced a LG microwave, didn't even have to change the wall bracket, did have to elongate holes some for the screws that held microwave to cabinet above it. Had features we wanted, works fine. Could keep rotating tray from LG for a spare for this one.

GE Slate Stainless above stovetop microwave. Best Buy had great deal on this product to replace our older model. Delivered and installed, fit perfect. Took old microwave away. Completely happy with the entire purchase.
