I purchased this to replace another GE microwave that had it's motherboard go bad after just four years. This model is basically the newest version of the old one, so I'm hoping it holds up better. The mounting bracket had changed, so that I had to install the new version to fit this new microwave, but it wasn't that difficult and I had in and running inside of an hour. The microwave itself works fine and we've had no issues so far. One thing we like over our previous model is the inside cabinet is made where the walls and bottom are indented so that it seems bigger and has more space inside, and the bottom can potentially catch any spills and overruns that might happen during cooking. The keyboard layout is a little different, so we're still adjusting to this but all of the many features available are pretty much the same.

Waited a couple of weeks before writing the review. Everything so far seems to lead me to believe we made the right pick. This unit is quitter than our last microwave. Nice overall appearance. We opt'ed to connect the top external vent. Some nice features that we didn't have on our last microwave. As of today, I would recommend this to a friend.

Replaced my 25 year old GE with this one. It went out with a bang about a month ago.
This one was missing the mouthing bracket and hardware out of the box. I called Best Buy and they said I had to box it back up and return it to the store it was purchased at. They would either supply the missing parts or take it back. But that wasn’t really an option as it was 75 miles away. It’s hard to find white appliances in stock anymore. I called GE and they had it shipped out same day. FedEx dropped the ball on the shipping, but that’s another long story. Parts arrived a week later and now it’s installed and working good. GE has always been good to work with. I’ve had a few customer service things that have alway been taken care of timely.
Installation went alright. I wish it would have used the same mounting bracket and holes as the old one. I had some problems lining up the top holes even though I marked them with the template, and measured them 5 times. I think the mounting bracket could have been an 1/8” lower than what it called for, again measured several times.
It seems to work, time will tell if it lasts 25 years like the old one did. I don’t have high hopes as anything made now never lasts.
I wasn’t sure about the top venting recirculating vent, as my old one vented out the front. I was worried that it would vent onto my wooden cabinets. It does blow air on to the cabinets, but I haven’t cooked enough under it to see if it will blow steam onto them.

Needed a new over the range microwave to replace our over 20-year-old one. We already had a GE slate fridge and range so we got the GE slate microwave to match. Looks great. The slate color is so much better than stainless steel it doesn't show fingerprints. This microwave has a ton of features like sensor cooking, easy starting by 1 to 5 minutes in one touch, had 30 seconds button to start the microwave in one touch. It has steam cleaning. Event fan has four speed settings, surface light has two settings and you can replace the 50 watt halogen bulb with a G8 LED bulb from Amazon and it's way brighter and uses less energy and runs cooler than the halogen bulb. The interior is a little dark because it has the enamel surface to make it easier to clean, wish the bulb was brighter or had multiple in the interior. But overall great microwave.
Color is black not like the dark slate with stainl

We needed to replace our microwave and we were trying to match our stove (GE)...closest we could find was this microwave, and I was a little worried about the color matching...it says black (w/stainless) but the picture made it look more like a dark slate gray. I was so relieved once it was installed to see it was actually a perfect match (black) to our stove, and not the dark slate that appeared in the picture. Simple buttons-handful of specific buttons (popcorn, melt, etc), express times, but really all that’s needed unless you’re a gourmet microwave chef. Inside gray flecked enamel was a big plus over the white inside of our last microwave that started peeling within the 1st 2 years, and foresee it not showing every little thing like the last one that became my nemesis...a good weekly cleaning should suffice instead of a daily cleaning.

I recently purchased this microwave, and I’m extremely impressed! The price was unbeatable for the quality you’re getting. It’s very spacious, which makes heating larger dishes a breeze. Plus, the installation was super easy – I had it set up and ready to use in no time. The microwave works efficiently, heats evenly, and looks sleek in my kitchen. If you’re looking for a great, affordable microwave with plenty of room and easy setup, this is definitely the one to go for!

Great microwave with lots of great features, bells and whistles however the buttons are a bit hard to push and the lightbulb recently dimmed. Other than that, it does the job!

This microwave is awesome. It’s quiet, it’s beautiful and it heats up my food quickly. Love all the features like sensor cooking! And just push the Potato button and wallah, your potato cooks perfectly. I also love the low (night lite) and high light that lights up the stove top. Can’t wait to receive my GE Profile range that is on back order! GE appliances are the best! This model is replacing my 27 year old GE microwave that still worked perfectly. Yes that’s right, 27 YEARS of heavy daily use. I am only replacing it because the handle was so brittle do to age, it was going to break off any time, but everything else worked perfectly. Buy a GE - it’s a wonderfully high quality product! I highly recommend this model.

Gonna start with the only issue I have had with this model: Day 1 the LED Surface light worked fine - Day 2 stopped working, "OK" I thought I'll buy a replacement assuming the bulb broke. Tried a new bulb and still doesn't work - so apparently some other issue. It looks like this was originally outfitted for a standard incandescent bulb and was retrofitted for LED. We doint use the underneath light so its not the end of the world, but for a brand new appliance not the best start. Other than that installation was relatively easy - took me about 5 hours to remove old one and install new one. Microwave works good and looks good with our matching GE Stove.

Easy to install yourself. You do NOT need a bump out kit unless your cabinets are deeper then 15” even if you have a 36” opening width for an older microwave like I do. I unfortunately listened to bad online advice. The filler kits are hard to find and are back ordered everywhere as of this writing but I was able to find one on eBay. Check the General Electric site for the right kit for this model as there are different ones. Marking a centerline is most important. One last install tip: don’t over tighten the bolts on top because the receiving jackets will lose their grip.
My wife love the darker stove-like interior and says it’s much easier to clean then the white ones. Worth the extra money

This purchase was made to replace our 14 year old over the range 36" GE Profile. After 3 weeks of use, we are quite happy with our purchase. Unfortunately, 36" units seem to be as available as hens' teeth and the stainless 6" filler was more expensive than the mic itself. I've informed the wife I'll fashion a bookshelf/cubby so she can put a cookbook or two into the space. She tells me she's planning her own remedy as I'm not the handiest of handimen.

Found this microwave with over the stove range at Best Buy. It had a really great price and being a GE, It works really well.
I had originally found it at Home Depot, but guess what Home Depot wanted a chunk of money to ship it.

This microwave is lovely looking, made with quality. The silver cleans easily. I love the microwave Steam Clean feature and express cook from 1 minute to 9 minutes. I also love the sensor feature for popcorn, potato, beverage etc. it has a large tray to warm big food containers up.

Everything you need in a very reasonably priced microwave (looks, space, functionality, efficiency). Looking forward to enjoying our daily microwave use for a long time.

This unit replaced an older ge model that was very similar. Interestingly the mounting was a bit different. Anyway, I like that the airflow is an increase from 300 cfm in the old one to 400 cfm. I wasn’t sure it was going to make much of a difference but it does seem to be better.
We're so glad you're loving your microwave! We always want to provide a high-quality product, and we're confident the unit will continue to be a great fit for your needs for many years to come. Enjoy! -Sarah@GEAppliances
