Customer Ratings & Reviews

The light hangs down to low under the unit, and on the inside it looks like a piece of cardboard on the right side which covers the vent. The door is very flimsy when you open and close it sounds very loud, not nice and quite like my old GE. I do not like the dark color on the inside and the light is very small so it is dark inside.

The microwave heats up fast, and I’ve had no issues with it. The color is grey slate

My last GE Microwave was purchased in 1998. Hopefully I’ll get as many years of use with my new one.

The microwave seems fine function wise, but either faulty manufacturing or delivery fumbling it means the door doesn't sit level with the rest of the unit, about 1/8" off. Juuust enough to be annoying whenever you look at it. Makes you winder what else is bad in the build.

Just replaced an old GE. Fit the space perfectly. Works great. Love it!!

We are very disappointed in the quality of this microwave. We had it for less than a year when the handle started buckling and the material on sides was sharp so dangerous to open. We had to pull it off to make it safe. Now we have to buy a new one because it’s so unsightly and no way to replace the handle.

I got this microwave on 8/30/23. Initially I was satisfied with this product. Fast forward to January 2024, I live in Missouri. It is very cold here this week, below 0 temperatures. I went to use my microwave and there is literally frost on the back wall of the microwave. I have never seen anything like this. I have been in my home for 17 years and only replaced my old microwave because I was changing appliances. I never had any issues with frost in my old microwave. I think this unit is made very cheaply and poor insulation. I do not recommend this product. Stay away, you have been warned. See pictures.

This microwave was just installed a few days ago. I have some damage on the front panel and it appears to be bent on the side also. Other than that it works well.

This microwave is horrible! It has cracked from the heat of the stove and GE will not honor the warranty because it’s considered cosmetic.

Purchased this microwave from the Best Buy Outlet in Eden Prairie. Was told there was nothing wrong with it, but when the contractor went to install, it was crushed. The box looks fine though. And it did not include the mounting plate.

Nice looking and working microwave. Just not happy with venting design. Moisture vents straight up, settling on wood cabinet doors above microwave.

Works perfectly so happy with the features Easy to understand

works great has good features looks good in the kitchen

Works great. My only complaint is that you have to hit cook time and then the amount of time that you want to cook the food for if it is not a whole minute or 30 seconds. Otherwise it works fine and seems easy to clean.

Works very well, kinda loud, installation was pretty easy as this was a replacement for a previous GE unit, has an interesting “hidden” feature that I may have missed in the manual. tl;dr Purchased this unit to replace a previous GE over the range unit (spacemaker 1800XL). Internal and external dimensions were basically the same which made install easier. Once installed, the unit works very well. Noticed it was a bit louder than the previous unit, not a deal breaker, drowns out the noisy teenager asking if dinner is ready (lol). Really like the fact it no longer has the mechanized front vent, less functional failures. Darker interior is nice for appearance of cleanliness. Controls are responsive, vents strong. Now, something that I think was weird and maybe a “hidden/secret” feature of this unit: automatic ventilation? I haven’t looked through the manual, but the other night when I had a cooked meatloaf on the stove resting, the vents automatically kicked on. Not complaining, but took me by surprise. Overall, for the amount paid during the sale it is well worth it.

Got this on a Memorial Day sale for a great deal, and I love it! Our old one was busted from previous owners so when we got this we were so excited. Wipes clean easily, the controls and buttons are nice, and it just looks good!

I bought this over the stove unit to replace my old failed GE microwave, due to same size to fit. It had a couple differences, as in a new bracket to hang it and had to drill a new hole in above cabinet due to relocated fastener in top of new unit. Otherwise, the new unit works fine with a few differences and improvements. Was able to hang new unit myself without help.

I purchased this GE 1000 watt Microwave to replace a different brand that broke prematurely. I've been using this new GE for 1 week and it works great. I am hoping it lasts for years, like the 20 my mother's GE microwave lasted. I initially dinged GE 1 star because it is 2021 and this microwave still has the hard-to-press old type keypad - mash on the plastic-skin button until it reacts, as opposed to modern touch-glass - similar to touching a cell phone. Also the stove-top light is incandescent (the old yellow glow with lots of heat) as opposed to a long-lasting and much brighter LED. Now I am returning this to 5 stars because I just realized I can clean the keypad without unplugging the Microwave - a major aggravation with my old microwave's touch glass. And by random chance this old-fashion incandescent bulb perfectly matches my warm-color LEDs in the blended kitchen/family room which looks great together in the evening. The clock LCD is too bright, fortunately there is a setting to turn it off. The display still operates normally - just no clock (my stovetop has one anyway). Installation went well. GE ships it for an upper-rear exhaust and includes adapters for rear and recirculate, plus GE included a vent extender which makes it easier to attach with the hood in the cabinet above the microwave. The microwave itself has the same loudness as my prior microwave. The stove-top fan is amazingly strong but again, no louder than my prior microwave - I checked the exhaust vent outside of my house to make sure the backdraft flap opened properly. I couldn't believe how much airflow the stovetop fan pushed out. Operationally, my first cooking attempt required 4:00 mins but the microwave started the moment I pressed 4. I then pressed "Cook-Time" -> 4:00 -> Start and it worked as expected. The keypad numbers 1 - 5 are "Express Cook". Not sure anyone uses Express cook buttons - I could do without them. I'd rather set the time and press start. A manual isn't included so I have no idea what 1 to 5 actually is used for but GE thought ahead. Normally there is a sticker inside the door frame that tells you - not this one...but there is a QR code inside the door, and scanning it takes you to the microwave's page on GE's website. There you can download the manual, registration, product details, etc. Honestly, it was faster and easier than tearing open a plastic bag, pulling out the manual, and then looking for a place to save it - The manual is saved on my phone for easy lookup. In summary, I am very, very happy with this Microwave. In 20 years I hope to still be using it. Things I'd like to see improved: Replace the bright LCD clock with an LED display, replace all incandescent bulbs with LED, replace keypad & controls with touch-glass version (add a "Clean" button users hold for 3 seconds to prevent activation while wiping smudges off).

two years ago, I purchased the GE 1.9 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave with Sensor Cooking and Steam Cleaning, and I’m really impressed with both its performance and features. This microwave is a great combination of power, convenience, and modern design. First, the 1.9 Cu. Ft. capacity is perfect for my needs, offering plenty of space for larger dishes, casseroles, and even big dinner plates. The sensor cooking feature is fantastic—it automatically adjusts the cooking time and power level based on the moisture levels in your food, which ensures that everything comes out perfectly cooked without any guesswork. It’s especially useful when reheating leftovers or cooking frozen meals. The steam cleaning function is another standout feature. It’s so easy to use—just add a bit of water to the microwave, and it helps loosen up any food splatters or stains. After just a few minutes, the interior is cleaner, and I don’t have to scrub for hours. It’s a great time-saver and really helps keep the microwave looking fresh. I also appreciate the sleek design of this model. It looks great in my kitchen, and the backlit digital display is easy to read, even in low light. The over-the-range design not only saves counter space but also adds a modern touch to the kitchen. The ventilation system works well, with multiple fan speeds to keep my kitchen smoke- and odor-free when cooking. The microwave heats up food quickly and evenly, and the quiet operation is a nice bonus compared to other models I’ve used in the past. Whether I’m making popcorn, reheating a meal, or defrosting something, the microwave does the job efficiently. Overall, the GE 1.9 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave with Sensor Cooking and Steam Cleaning is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a powerful, versatile, and easy-to-maintain microwave. It’s spacious, smart, and stylish, making it a great addition to any kitchen. I highly recommend it!

I am extremely please with this over the stove microwave . So easy to operate, well lit inside as is stove top which has two light settings. Easy to clean interior. Runs quietly and the installer provided by Best Buy was profession and cleaned up all the packaging plus hauled my old microwave away. I would buy this model again.
