Customer Ratings & Reviews

Needed to replace a Samsung unit that was getting old and hard to clean. This unit matched our refrigerator. Fit perfectly under the hood and was not that hard to install. Works well and has a plethora of features that are highly useful and convenient. We are still learning all this microwave has to offer but it has exceeded our expectations and is highly intuitive so we haven't really needed to refer to the owner's manual to get the job done. Many of the features and instructions are programmed into the screen display. This is a great microwave.

Spacious, sturdy, compact microwave. Very easy to operate and clean. Loves how it helps with the fingerprint resistance. Everyone loves the upscale look and it was no trouble mounting to wall under cabinets. Very pleased!

Had to return the first one due to damage by whatever delivery service delivered it to Best Buy. Hate having to take it back, but guess it was my turn for this type of incident. The crew was great and ordered a replacement which arrived 5 days later and was in great shape. I was replacing an older GE model and luckily the older template bolt holes (wall and top) matched up so installation was a breeze. GE had confirmed the color was white (not green) for the LED and yes it was. All new units shipped after 11/2017 apparently have the new LED which matched my new stove. I know it seems minor but it’s those little things. Same with the dark gray color behind the glass. Funny how it is gray (in flash) but in my kitchen it looks black and matches the stove, same with the dark gray on the side. Yes, the letters are a little tough to see but it’s the glare from the plastic and not the actual letter coloring. My kitchen is pretty bright so shouldn’t be an issue. The fan is about as loud as my last one but the actual microwave seems much quieter. The microwave is working great and as you probably know Best Buy had the best price.

Rating: 4.5 / 5 Stars We recently installed this GE 1.7 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range microwave, and overall, we are extremely pleased with its performance, features, and build quality. It's been a significant upgrade for our kitchen. The performance is where this microwave truly shines. It heats food remarkably quickly and, more importantly, very evenly. We haven't experienced the frustrating hot and cold spots that plagued our old unit. The sensor cooking feature is surprisingly effective – particularly for reheating plates of food or cooking vegetables. It intelligently adjusts the cooking time, resulting in perfectly heated items without drying them out or leaving them partially cold. The defrost functions (both time and weight-based) also perform reliably, thawing food thoroughly without cooking the edges. We're also impressed with the cook settings. There's a great range of useful preset options for common items like popcorn (which pops nearly a full bag perfectly!), potatoes, and beverages. The sensor-based settings take the guesswork out of many tasks. The control panel is intuitive and easy to navigate, making it simple to access all the different functions without constantly referring to a manual. The "+30 seconds" button is always a convenient touch for quick heating bursts. In terms of quality, the microwave feels well-built. The door has a solid, sturdy feel when opening and closing, and the stainless steel finish gives it a premium look that matches well with our other appliances. The handle is robust, and the overall impression is that of a durable, quality appliance, especially considering its price point. The included exhaust fan is effective at venting cooking fumes, and the cooktop light provides good illumination. The only minor reason I'm giving it 4.5 stars instead of a perfect 5 is the volume of the alert beeps – they are quite loud and, as far as I can tell, not adjustable. It's a small annoyance, but worth mentioning. Also, typical of stainless steel, the finish does show fingerprints, requiring regular wiping to keep it looking its best. Overall, this GE microwave is a fantastic appliance that delivers excellent performance, useful and effective cook settings, and solid build quality. If you're in the market for a reliable and efficient over-the-range microwave, I would highly recommend this model. It offers great value and performs its job exceptionally well.

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.

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

This was an almost one for one replacement to the previous microwave that died. The price was great and it fit perfectly. My only issue is the door is cheaply made and it is very loud. However, for the price you can't beat it. As far as how it works, it works as advertised. No issues there.

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.

Love my microwave. It was ready for pick up when promised. Very easy to install. I love the appearance and features. Best Buy is very professional to do business with.

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.

We love our new microwave. We liked our older one (same brand same size) and this one works GREAT! Install was very easy and it looks great in our kitchen.

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.

This is a good microwave. I like using the touchpad instead of the GE Profile knob to select cooking time etc…. This microwave was at a good price and it was the color to match our other existing appliances.

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.

Very pleased with this microwave. One small negative is the soft grating noise the turntable makes when a mug, bowl, or plate is on it & it is rotating, of course you could turn the turntable off. It was easy for 2 adult females to install. The previous hinge for old microwave was used. A new hole had to be made for the cord because the old hole wasn’t in the correct position. Love the look of it but it is not fingerprint resistant.

Loving my microwave, it has a bright night light glowing in the dark. Easy to operate with special settings for melting and reheating your food.

Affordable, looks nice, easy to install. Would recommend

Love it just what we wanted for an over the range micro wave it is very easy to clean and we really like the light underneath

Love this microwave. Fits perfectly. Looks great. Works awesome.

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.
