I would recommend this to a friendQuit after 1 year
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the second GE microwave I've purchased, both over the range. Both died after a little over 1 year, with normal use. So, just past the warranty period. I purchased the current one to replace the first one. This is the last GE anything I will purchase -- I encourage you all to anyone else needing a microwave to look at other brands.

Looks nicer than it feels
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Effective at heating but it feels cheap (light plastic not solid) and it's relatively loud.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendMissed the mark
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I used the microwave twice before it stopped working. It would no longer turn on at all. A tech came out and informed me, before even opening the unit, that this model has an issue with the fan blowing in the wrong direction so it does not cool the inside parts properly which causes it to overheat. GE has been contacted by multiple repair shops and technicians about the issue, but are told it is user error. Best Buy and GE's certified repair folks are wonderful, but the product itself is not made to last.

I would recommend this to a friendSensor cooking very effective.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We've owned the previous generation of GE's sensor cooking microwave oven. It lasted over ten years. This new model sensor cooking works even better . Couldn't be happier with this purchase.
I would recommend this to a friendIt is what it is!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Disappointed in that the keys don’t light up and the instructions are few and far between. I was replacing a microwave of similar size because I didn’t want to cut out cabinets.

I would recommend this to a friendIt's a microwave
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's ok. The keypad is really unresponsive, and sometimes the door doesn't close up properly. But it cooks well enough, if you need an inexpensive above the range microwave.
I would recommend this to a friendNot the best but works!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this microwave as an open box after my previous microwave had broke. I was looking for something that just worked. My previous microwave had a lot more functions then this one but it works just fine.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat Features, unfortunately mine was broken
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This microwave was purchased as a replacement for our 10 year old microwave which finally failed. Once the microwave was installed, I noticed a loud buzzing noise upon startup of the microwave. It was not the fan. Upon researching the issue, I discovered the microwave may have a bad magnetron. As such I promptly boxed up the microwave and returned it to Best Buy. It is worth noting that Best Buy customer service was great in the purchase and return of the microwave.

Not the same GE it used to be
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decent unit but it's not as feature rich as the equivalent model it replaced. Not as many sensor cook options such as for fresh vegetables. I would not buy it again.
No, I would not recommend this to a frienddisappointed
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bought this microwave #1. It was suppose to be brand new and when we picked it up it was an open box. We were unable to hang it since the bolts were broke off on the top. So we got them to reorder it for us. Microwave #2 came in and the box was damaged but the delievery guy said he had looked at it and it seemed to be ok. When we opened the box the top of the microve was dented in but we went ahead and hung it, You can see the dent on the top but won't be buying anything from Best Buy again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendvery VERY loud
