    Works well, template was a little tough to line up for the holes, but once we had that done it worked well. Size is good (old microwave was too big). Be aware that the filter size you find online may be incorrect, measure the dimensions before ordering.

    It looks good and so far, functions well. It was relief to finally have it installed. After it was delivered, we had someone add a vent to the outside, and then had Best Buy come back and install the microwave. It fit in the space perfectly!

    Had to replace our previous GE 1.7 cubic foot Over-the-Range Microwave due to a magnetron failure after only two and one-half years. We love all the features of this Microwave and replaced it with the same model because it was on sale at Best Buy.

    I like this microwave and its easy-to-push buttons (unlike my old one that broke - buttons often didn't respond to my touch or took it twice which added time I didn't want). The microwave works well and is as described in the ad. I do wish the turntable was bigger and raised up a little more off the floor of the microwave, but that's not a big deal - I knew that when I bought it - I just liked its other features and it was reasonably priced. Its dimensions are as advertised, too. I haven't tried all the features yet. I like that you can control the loudness of the alarm when the food's finished cooking - my old one was too loud and I couldn't change it. Overall, so far (I've only had it 1 month) I'm very pleased with this microwave.

    Microwave works as described by factory maker. I really like one touch button feature for heating in 1 minute increments. Also like the smart heating sensor. This feature heats food evenly and detects the amount of food that needs to be heated. Overall a great microwave.

    Maybe because I didn't have a microwave for a year. It seems to have all the necessary buttons, I will agree with other comments the high fans is loud & the high light is dimmer than expected, but perfect for a night light as mine faces the entry & stairs and I just use the low fan setting. Looks great with stove & did not take up much room.

    This replaced a 15-year old GE microwave. I ordered another GE with the hopes that I could reuse the same bracket that was already attached the wall. Unfortunately, they moved to using a lower-profile bracket, so I had to completely reinstall everything. It wasn't that difficult, but it wasn't the easy swap I thought it would be. The buttons on this microwave are a little harder to push than my old one, but they wanted to make the control panel a flush design. The front stainless panel is fairly thin, and you can see small ripples where it attaches when the light hits it. Not a big deal, but it shows the reduction in quality from older microwaves. However, it works great, and I'm sure it will last for another 15 years.

    This one replaced my 22-year-old "Over the Range" GE Microwave. It still worked perfect but the "Beeper" that tells you time is up went out. It was 22 years old, so it was time to upgrade anyway. I was very lucky and didn't have to change my old mounting bracket to the new one with this Microwave. The Power Cord hole, top mounting bolt holes and mounting bracket on the back wall were exactly the same as my 22 year old GE Microwave. I'm very happy with this Microwave.

    This replaced our old microwave and fits the space much better. It's a bit smaller in outside height and depth but does everything we need it to do and the inside is as large as the old one. Only complaint is the over the range light is fairly close to the wall so it doesn't illuminate the cooktop evenly.

    We had a long wait due to shipping delays, however the item is a nice quality well worth the wait. This microwave oven is a nice upgrade from our old oven the range microwave. Install was very simple, you will need two people and some basic tools.

    Purchased this because it had the same dimensions as our last GE. It works as good as advertised. Gave it a 4 star only because when closing the door, it sounds a little "tinny"

    Good micro. easy install if you have an older GE micro.The original bracket works,which is a plus that GE thought of this for selling points on a new micro.Only thing I would have added was a timer for the night light.great micro for the price ponit.
