We needed to replace the microwave we have had for 5 years. We were concerned that we wouldn't be able to find the exact model, but Shawn Campbell at the Best Buy in Greenwood, IN found it for us!

The microwave is noisy, but has the features that we are seeking. Due to global supply chain issues, we had to wait more than a year for this product to become available anywhere and Best Buy was the only store stocking the item. Time will tell on the durability of the product. For the price, the purchase made sense. We did have the product delivered and installed and that process went very well. To better protect our selves, we also purchased a warranty on the product.

Replaced a old microwave whose handle had broken off. I had managed to glue it back on and live with it for awhile, but am happy to have this new one. So far, it works great and looks great.
Best thing about this microwave is that it failed!

Purchased and installed this microwave as a replacement for an earlier model that failed during a power surge. The newer model was easy to install, though you had to drill new holes for the mounting bolts. Once installed, I could not believe how much the quality had changed from previous version. Door was very low quality and was excessively loud opening and closing. Running it the first time, the exhaust fan turned on when start was pushed, and was very loud. It states that the fan is auto sensing and will turn on when temperature is exceeded.... I don't think pushing the start button should turn on the obnoxious fan. And by the way, you cannot turn it off.... EVER! After 3 weeks of normal use, it failed while making 4 baked potatoes. Very hot to the touch above the control panel. I haven't had time to call Best Buy, but it is past the return date, so I am not expecting much.
Bottom line is this is a very cheap model that is nowhere near what GE produced in the past and I do not recommend this product.

Exactly what I am looking for. Only a microwave, with no other functions like air fryer etc. It fit perfectly to my old appliances space. I did my first popcorn and glad to report that under 1:30 mins I had the perfectly popped corn with no kernel unpopped. Whole kitchen smelled like movie theatre. It's a powerful appliance. Love it.

Amazing Microwave, delivered with white glove type service. Has all standard microwave functionality. Easily installed using comprehensive directions included. Digital displays is clear and easily read. Plenty of bang for the buck. Easy to clean.

We’ve had the microwave for about a month, so far, we’re satisfied. The 1–5-minute express cook is a great option. By pressing any of the 1-5 buttons, the microwave starts for 1-5 minutes without having to do anything else. I would give it a 5 out of 5 if it ran a little quieter.

Brand response from GE Answers

We are glad to hear your microwave is working well and heating your foods well. The door has two (2) safety interlock switches, and one (1) monitor switch. It is normal to have a small amount of play to the door (up or down) approximately 1/8", especially on over-the-range models. If you find that your microwave door closes loudly or is harder to close than your previous model, the difference in the door noise is due to a firmer spring in the door latch; this is a normal condition for the microwave. You can lift up on the latch to feel the tension.

Ease of use, Size

Fit finish and packing was fine.
Touch pad awkward - no back light and no texture or location indicators. Even with the door open with interior light on it is still hard to see the pad markings. Will have to put stickers (?) to indicate certain landmarks for use in dim light. Still very new so will take time to see if heat odors clear up. otherwise it is a good old GE microwave, been using them for 30 years.

I have had this for less than 60 days but so far, no complaints. It matches out Whirlpool stove really well and it works great. Get's daily use by 3 people, no complaints. It even fit perfectly in the slot where the old microwave was.

This is a great choice for an over range microwave. The size of the plate is good, and food is heated up well. The vents does the job when cooking. I'm pleasantly surprised on the strength.

This microwave is a GE, just like our last microwave that lasted 14 years.
The over the counter light in the old unit did not last very long. We are hoping the new unit will be much better.

It works really well and has various features which are helpful. It has a timer which can be set and still microwave food simultaneously. The feature of alarm is not obnoxiously loud and remainder is just one beep every few seconds. Cleans easily.
