    Our LG microwave died and we had to replace it. I believe microwaves are one of the least interesting things to shop for. You know they’re all going to do basically the same job, and none of the features are all that exciting. I ended up choosing this unit because it was an open box in our local store, but we were pleasantly surprised when we got it installed and started using it. It’s much quieter than our old unit and seems to cook faster as well. overall, it seems like a very well designed unit and we’re way happier with change than expected.

    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.

    Would like a larger turntable and more solid door which dosent sound so tinny. Otherwise it is a good buy for the money Easy to clean interior. Very pleased with controls and great overall cooking operation.

    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.

    I like the touch button features which make it easy to warm up food or liquids. The light feature and fan both are great additions. What I was surprised to find was that I could mute the sound so that I do not get the 3 loud beeps when something is ready. I also like the turntable which is easy to clean and easy to put back in place.

    I really like this microwave. It has quick minute buttons. It also is large enough to get a big meal or more than 1 plate in when reheating food.

    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!

    After at least 14 years my prior microwave just gave out. Replaced it with identical updated brand and model in white to match other kitchen Appliances. the crew installing it worked together like a well oiled machine. What would we do without microwaves anymore?!

    Really like how it looks and operates. A little different from my older GE that died, but am learning. Just wish an operators manual came with it. I assume there may be one online, just haven't looked for it yet. Had to replace it just before Christmas with company coming, was so happy it was available for pickup so quickly and when our Best Buy 70 miles away said it would be. Price was very competitive with other places.

    Our microwave has been a warrior, especially in this day and age, where we "Nuke" almost everything! Our unit hit a snag, the keypad was "non-communicato"! It's a GE, let's replace the broken touch pad! The part was $282 and it was refurbished! Got a brand new direct replacement for $300 AND they delivered it to our home for free! Install took about 45 minutes, but nothing major! I hope it will be this easy for you!

    Looks great, but not user friendly

    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.

    So far so good, good size, power and price. Now if it just lasts more than a year would be good. Last one burnt out in just over a year.
