I bought this microwave off the shelf (discounted price) it was dented but I was putting it in between 2 cabinets so it didn’t matter to me. But it works great I would pay full price to replace it it’s worth it.

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 !

We have always loved this microwave, but after 6 years had to purchase this product again because the door handle came off which is why it is 4 stars not 5.

So far so good, installed very quickly and efficiently. Seems to work fine. The only surprise was the thin layer of plastic covering the control panel, which I didn't see at first. It pulled off, but there was no mention of doing so in the instructions that I could see.

This is a good affordable option for a microwave. Despite it being an affordable option, it’s still has a lot of features.

A couple of points. For years, GE OTR microwaves used the same mounting bracket and screw holes lined up perfectly.
Not any more.
The bracket is a newer design (less metal) and hooks into the back rear of the oven in different places. Similarly, the top bolts that hold the front of the oven to the cabinet are in different places. If you were looking for an easy swap and picking GE (Haier - China) for that reason, think again.
The unit looks sharp when mounted and it appears that the black stainless will be better with fingerprints.

It's a better microwave than a lot of the more expensive ones. This above the range microwave was easy to install and easy to use. I definitely would recommend this microwave if you are shopping for one.

Not only does it look great but it works well. As always, read the instructions first.
We had the microwave installed by Best Buy and they did a great job. Sure am glad I used them.
