Microwave came in stock sooner than planned and installation was scheduled promptly. Installer arrived on time; removed old unit and installed new one quickly. He set clock and did a test before leaving. Microwave is very nice upgrade to my old unit...great features and overall look. Nice bright clock, surface light, and 2 speed vent were must haves that this unit includes. Looking forward to trying the sensor cooking feature also. Great buy and service!

This microwave model was listed as the top model in the wire cutter.com review and it has proven to be performing as they rated it. It is great in every way - works well, performs perfectly.

We replaced a 4 year old GE microwave with this microwave, (both have the same model number) mainly because we believed it would be a straight swap and no change of the support, upper cabinet screws and the power cord would all be the same. Well, of course, none of that was true. Had to replace the wall support (drilling new holes for screws and mollie bolts), drill new holes in upper cabinet and a new large hole for the power cord. Very frustrating. The fan is also different and careful attention must be given to the directions depending on whether you have an outside or inside exhaust.
This micro seems to be a little cheaper build compared to the old one. But it does have a larger turntable which is nice. Works like a microwave - heats things up. Hope it lasts longer than the last one. If it doesn’t, this is the last GE appliance we will ever buy.

the microwave oven is the same as the one i took out. the only problem is the top mounting points are in a different location than the old one. this has been a problem even with first to the second and now the third.

The new microwave looks sleek and nice. However, it is not user friendly. It has two major problems. 1. The vent fan often starts automatically when I close the microwave, and the light remains on, but it does not cook or reheat, unless I shut it close really hard. Then it will function normal. 2. When the food is done, there is no sound indication to remind you that food is ready. 3. The exhaust fan has two levels, even at the lower level it makes very loud noise, which makes it impossibe to talk at the kitchen. Had I known, I would have purchased Kenmore, the brand I had before.

Good product, looks good and works good. If you are replacing your older model microwave, like I did, that was only 4 yrs old, which was this same model just obviously older, the mounting bracket is different and so are the top mounting holes. Which was kind of a pain having to mount the back plate, which of course has different mounting hole locations than the other newer model, and same with the top mounting holes, they have shifted forward about a inch and a half, and if you have a top cabinet that is a bit shallow it will be a bit more difficult to drill the new holes.

I was looking for a replacement over the stove microwave to fit in the space where the old had been so we had specific dimension requirement. Also, did not want to spend thousands of dollars. This microwave is the exact size that we needed, I love the clean lines and look of this microwave, it has some nice features, and feels very sturdy. Some other lower priced microwaves feel flimsy and cheap and you can tell they are not going to last, but this one feels sturdy and we are very pleased.

After a few glitches with the wrong size being ordered (partly my fault) we got the wrong one returned and ordered the new one. My biggest complaint is that it took over 2 mos to get my money refunded and we ended up just using the credit towards another purchase.
Microwave itself is beautiful and works well. Point off for the nightmare getting my refund.

It was a sensibly priced replacement for an older GE Over-the-Range Microwave with decent ratings from CR. I don't use it every day but under the same circumstances, I would buy it again.

I am enjoying the GE Over the range microwave. It is easy to use, and cooks to expectation. The display is easy to follow and easy to use. It looks great in my kitchen, and matches the other appliances. The installers were very diligent and professional. They did a great job of installing the microwave.

The microwave is great, heats as it should. The installation and customer service was a joke, honestly will not order something to be installed by Best Buy again, will look for a real appliance store.
