    Great Microwave Replacement

    I was worried about this product after reading terrible reviews across many platforms, but with our cookie cutter new build homes, I had limited options to replace the built in microwave that came with the house. This GE 1.7 cu. ft. over the range microwave was one of the only sizes that would fit. It is a newer model than the 2013 model, but it is pretty much identical. The turn table is the same size as the old model, the buttons are a little different, but they are all there. They are not back lit, but neither was the older model, and I feel the complaints regarding the overly bright display are unfounded. It is clearer than the 2013 model, but does not illuminate the room as so many claim. I also was worried since so many people said you cannot see through the window. I think they left the film on because you can clearly watch the food cook with no issues. It is pretty simple, no fancy bells and whistles, a pretty standard microwave that does everything it is supposed to do. It was easy to install and came with replacement parts for the vent area, which was great because we bent the old one by accident. If you are trying to replace an old model, this will perform the same way. I just hope it lasts longer than the old one!

    Microwave looks good but does show finger prints which drives me crazy, guess I should have done my research. Works good not too hard to install. Not available in store has to be shipped to you but arrived on a few days

    I needed to replace an old counter top microwave to release valuable space in a small kitchen. I found this smaller over the range model in perfect black stainless to match appliances. Easy to install in standard 30” wide cabinet area. Works perfectly.

    I was Saddened by the sudden loss of our previous GE due to a power surge. I stayed with GE because I got 12 years out of my last one. And as typical GE fashion the new one works phenomenally well and is easy to use and has made my life easier.

    mounting issues - careful

    -previous reviews and information on wall mount: (wrong)... this new model requires a different style of wall mount, included of course, but you have to remove the old "u" shaped style. New one is a straight bar. -width: measurements are what they say, typical for most over oven units. Problem, the door hinge on the left is on the edge. Not a problem if entire unit extends out in front of cabinets. If the left side (hinge side) is tight against a wall or similar, the door will not open all the way. Be aware of the mounting location! controls and power: All good, exactly what I expected. appearance: very nice.

    I'm happy with the function of the microwave. It is stylish and not too hard to install. I was replacing a 20 yr. old GE microwave. I only hope to get similar service out of this GE appliance.

    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.

    Works as it should and with the low price and a few extra features it seems to be a value purchase. Hoping that it lasts longer than the LG that it replaced.

    Good replacement for over-the-range microwave

    Overall, I can recommend this over-the-range microwave. I purchased this one since it was close to the same GE model I had before which finally broke down after 18 years of use and hoping this was can last at least half that time. The only issue for this model is the display clock is way too bright, it's as bright as a night light. You can turn it off and it still lets you use some basic functions without having to turn it back on. A minor flaw, but I still don't regret buying it. It's fairly quite while operating and the fan is actually more quiet than my previous microwave. Got this one at a really good price from Best Buy.
