GE Slate Stainless above stovetop microwave. Best Buy had great deal on this product to replace our older model. Delivered and installed, fit perfect. Took old microwave away. Completely happy with the entire purchase.

3rd microwave of this model that I have owned. Lasts about 8 years on average
The autocook sensor seems to last about 3 years. And the wall mount plate changes every time so there's more work to install than seems necessary if they wouldn't change that part of the chassis design.

I bought this as an open box, and it was supposed to have everything in it. It didn't. There was no installation guide or user manual. I ended up getting the user manual online from GE. The person I had install the microwave had the parts we needed on the truck. The microwave works great. good purchase. saved a bundle.

Had to replace my unit (which may or may not have been an older version of this same thing) and have been very happy with this. Warms up things in a reasonable amount of time, easy to use, etc. Only drawback is the door is a little hard to open, but not the biggest deal

We haven't had this microwave for long but there are a couple of things that aren't major but a little annoying. When you press the control panel, you really have to press hard to command the microwave. I have never had to use this much force to press buttons. Maybe it will "soften" as time goes by. The door is a bit noisey, both opening it and closing it. Again, maybe this will soften in time. These are the only reasons why I'm giving it 4 stars. Other than that, it does heat up your food well and physically looks good. The test will be to see how long it last without any mechanical problems.

This microwave has been a great addition to my kitchen. The slate finish minimizes smudging and the microwave is easy to clean, easy to use, and looks fantastic. It was a bit difficult to install with given instructions, but I will admit it was my first microwave installation! :p

Great microwave. Had to wait a long time for installation but besides that everything was smooth and the microwave works great. It has all the buttons you need but not too many to become cumbersome. Heats quickly and efficiently.

I needed to replace an old counter top microwave to release valuable space in a small kitchen. I found this smaller over the range model in perfect black stainless to match appliances. Easy to install in standard 30” wide cabinet area. Works perfectly.

-previous reviews and information on wall mount: (wrong)... this new model requires a different style of wall mount, included of course, but you have to remove the old "u" shaped style. New one is a straight bar.
-width: measurements are what they say, typical for most over oven units. Problem, the door hinge on the left is on the edge. Not a problem if entire unit extends out in front of cabinets. If the left side (hinge side) is tight against a wall or similar, the door will not open all the way. Be aware of the mounting location!
controls and power: All good, exactly what I expected.
appearance: very nice.

Overall, I can recommend this over-the-range microwave. I purchased this one since it was close to the same GE model I had before which finally broke down after 18 years of use and hoping this was can last at least half that time. The only issue for this model is the display clock is way too bright, it's as bright as a night light. You can turn it off and it still lets you use some basic functions without having to turn it back on. A minor flaw, but I still don't regret buying it. It's fairly quite while operating and the fan is actually more quiet than my previous microwave. Got this one at a really good price from Best Buy.
