    My goal was to find a microwave that fit in my current over the range space without making it hard to see the range dials. This one fit the size, has a good look, great price and does what I want it to do - mainly heat and reheat.

    This GE microwave is very similar to the one that we purchased last time. We have been very happy with the style, size, price and features of the microwave. I would recommend it highly

    It's bigger than what I expected which works out great for larger containers. The stainless is easy to keep looking fantastic. The controls are user friendly. The installation was well worth the cost. It was a great buy.

    I’m sure there are much fancier microwaves out there but this thing is a value workhorse. Simple design with features that will meet most needs. This is our second of the same model and the only reason that the first one died after 7 years was bad positioning above our stove and excessive steam exposure shorted out the control panel. Specs are supposedly the same on this one as our last but this one has significantly more cooking power. We’re knocking off 10-20 percent off our normally cooking times. Again, definitely recommend for a sturdy over range microwave but probably not suited for a high end kitchen.

    This microwave works very well. It's quiet and efficient.It's spacious. The best part was that I could use the same bracket from my previous GE Profile, so installation was a breeze. My one minor complaint is that the GE logo button is relatively large and ugly...plus it's centered to the whole oven, not the door, so it looks off center - and would either way. Maybe...no logo?? Can't help staring at it...

    Basic clean design works well

    This Microwave replaces a GE spacesaver model from 1999 and uses a similar mounting system and screw locations thereby saving time on installation. The mounting bracket provided is far inferior to the existing bracket so I threw it away andf used the old one. Installation was quick, easy and didn't require any cutting of the cabinets. The Microwave itself works as designed, heats food similar to the prior model and has a better blower for the vent. It even comes with a carbon filter to kill food odors which is an improvement. The under counter light is in the rear of the unit and should be placed near the front to light into pots. It lights the wall well but not where you need it. The control buttons will take a little getting used to as their lettering is grey as opposed to white on a black background and can be difficult to see. The features are basic (no temp sensor probe, message console or fancy functions which rarely got used) and work as expected. A good overall unit that should last the next 15-20 years. Thanks GE !

    Good now, but check quality

    Works great now without issue. Had an old GE microwave from 2008 that we wanted to replace, and the over-range mounting hardware was the same dimensions/style. GREAT so that you don't have to detach anything from the wall, just drill new holes into the cabinet to match the new support points and install in minutes. One nicety compared to LG close alternative is Express Cook buttons which we got very used to. Unfortunately, the first one we bought had some manufacturer's defects with dented metal panels on top and bottom. Best Buy replaced it no problem, but it was a pain to bring it all the way back to store for exchange.

    GE 1.7 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave Review This GE microwave is a solid, no-fuss kitchen upgrade that delivers reliable performance with a sleek stainless steel design. The 1.7 cu. ft. capacity provides plenty of space for reheating or cooking, while the sensor cooking feature ensures food is heated evenly without guesswork. The defrost function works well, and the venting system does a decent job at clearing steam and odors. It’s not the most high-tech model out there, but for everyday use, it’s efficient, easy to operate, and a great blend of functionality and value.

    While we've only had this microwave over for about a month, so far, it's been great! It looks really good, has loads of interior space, is easy to clean, has a 30 second heating button, which is great for reheating a cup of coffee (mine always gets cold before I finish the cup), express setting for up to 5 minutes and using the microwave is very intuitive--no complicated instructions. This will be the 3rd microwave oven we've had since moving into our house and it is, by far, our favorite. Additionally, we purchased the microwave on sale and it was very reasonably priced .

    Simple microwave for reheating, etc. The sensor cook settings are nice, but don't use for soups, etc. with milk as they may tend to boil over. The melt setting does not adjust for volume so take care with that. Some of the Sensor settings can be adjusted (popcorn, potatoes) for time. Can be vented inside or out & also has a separate replaceable "paper-type" filter in the top grid for inside venting. This is not a huge microwave but large enough for most tasks.

    Suitable everyday microwave

    This microwave has all of the standard features and is a good size for use in the kitchen of a typical family kitchen. The appearance is good, it is easy to clean and keep looking good, and it cooks a variety of foods well. We had intermittent problems with the door switches with the brand new unit. Geek Squad was able to correct them with an after-installation visit, but it seems clear that the way that the door switches operate make the microwave prone to this kind of problem.

    So quiet you can barely tell its on. We should have replaced our loud one a very long time ago. Easy to install, although I did want it installed with the vent going outside instead of recirculating, but it wasn't doable at this time.

    Happy with my purchase, solidly built and same size as my old microwave and great price ($269). The Best Buy installer was friendly and did a great job putting in my microwave. The keyboard take a little while to get use to, you set time in minutes only. Exhaust Vent is a little noisy when on High. Surface light is bright on this model is more than adequate.
