No, I would not recommend this to a friendWorked for 1 week
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my 2nd GE microwave. My first was out of warranty and it was cheaper to purchase the same model microwave than to repair the poor thing. One week in service the new one just went black. Thankfully GE is sending a repair technician to fix it. My previous microwaves lasted until we remodeled the kitchen. Hopefully this isn’t the new norm.

Have had less than a month and issues already
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The plastic on the buttons is bubbled and worn off. It's not a protective film that peels off. Im SO disappointed!
No, I would not recommend this to a friendPoints Not Given that are owed
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Product is great! But beware, Best Buy will NOT give me reward points I’m owed! This is the last purchase I will ever make, as they do not stand by their programs or purchases!
I would recommend this to a friendIt couldn’t be installed
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not happy. I was told it didn’t matter how much space between the stove and microwave, because it was an electric stove. When the geek squad arrived, they came in, measured, said there wasn’t enough room, and off they went.

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had to return it, because It was very loud. The door wasn't level. I tried to use Best buy website to return it and get the label to be shipped and didn't work, I had to drive more that 45 miles to return it.

Stopped functioning after only 2 months
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I only had this microwave for two months and it completely stopped functioning. It does not turn on at all and there is nothing wrong with the power outlet. Now I find out that the returnable date was two days ago. What a waste of money.

Don’t Recommend At All.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Horrible. I’d never recommend this product. Apparently it was the fan that was a mess. Customer service helped me pick out a similar one, 1.6. that’s fine.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bought this about a year and a half ago and don’t use it everyday and the handle broke off!!!

Please send us a message on social media with the model and serial numbers so that we can assist further. Hope to hear from you! -Mikayla@GEA
Bought and returned it
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When you turn on the exhaust fan, it had an unbearable whistling sound. We were told by the installer that they all did that. I said, nope! We were also told that one from another manufacturer would be quieter so we bought the LG. Our rating is already posted for that unit.

worthless product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worthless product! Had for just over 2 years and it quit working. A lot of money for only 2 years worth. Called Geek Squad and they are unwilling to help figure out what needs to be done to get it working.
