Replacement for previous GE microwave that stopped working after 15 years. Same specifications and slightly more complex features. Much quieter. Only negative for me is the LED display is quite bright and can't be dimmed. Easy to install, I did it on my own, but may need two people to lift it into place while doing up screws in cabinet above. Instruction manual a little generic.

Very nice microwave of GE, work properly, good futures, it’s only we can’t add minutes as we wanted, there are 2 choices, 30 seconds and 1 minutes and so on.

Previously had a GE microwave and it had stopped working. Bought this from Best Buy and they matched other vendors prices (so don't be afraid to ask). I installed this myself and it was truly easy to install. Luckily for me, this was the same size and no new holes needed to be drilled. Even if you do need to drill new holes, they provide a nice template that is easy to follow. Microwave has many great features and is very intuitive.

Installation is completely standard, so no surprises there. It looks good and works just like a microwave should. I didn't think I was going to like keypad layout, but I bought it anyway because it was the biggest internal size that would fit our opening. However, turns out we all love the new keypad design. It is very user friendly and makes for a much more intuitive experience. I like this unit and would recommend.

I bought this as a replacement for an existing g.e. microwave with sensor cooking. I liked the one that was in the home I bought but it stopped working shortly after we moved in so when we went to best buy we wanted something similar to what we had. I'm still very satisfied with the brand and the features. My popcorn has never popped so perfectly and my food is warmed up more evenly than with other brands.

Nice microwave, but we are having trouble with the door--the light stays on & sounds like it is running until we giggle the door until it quits. We will be contacting customer service.

Overall it works fine, It make a loud start up noise for some reason and I think I may take it back. Quality of the door, buttons etc. seems to be cheap China. I replaced this with an Advanteum model and it was much better.

Looks great was was easy to install. However, in the first two weeks or so, the magnetron was extremely loud and the fans were almost silent. It wasn't until the fans seem to get some use that the noises started to sort of balance out. The microwave itself is powerful and the premade setting do come in handy.

Hard to evaluate because the unit was not properly installed. I tried to get Best Buy to fix it but they didn’t call when they were supposed to. The unit is good but the job is not.

After trying to get microwave delivered for a month, I finally had to pick it up. I am pleased with this. I like the melt feature, the sensor fan that cuts on automatically. I had my previous microwave for 16 years. I picked a really good one.
Best friend has one identical in her new house!

We bought this on sale for $251 and for the price it can’t be beat. We replaced a 10 year old over the range microwave with this unit. Installation was easy since it for our old minting bracket and holes. It is much quieter than our previous whirlpool and seems to heat food evenly.
