    The fan seized after 2 weeks. The microwave sounded like it was going to catch on fire.

    It will break

    Bought July 2019 - had an issue within 40 days after purchase (fan wouldn’t shut off) just past the 30 day return time to Best Buy. We do not use our microwave that often! Not daily, and maybe just a couple times a week if that, reheating coffee or something. Not even 1.5 years in but outside of warranty and it won’t shut off!!! No timer running, nothing! Light on and microwave running so I had to unplug. It doesn’t reset and the cost to fix is just as much as I paid for this. I should have listened to the reviews. Don’t buy this microwave.

    GE microwave

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    My old microwave (4 yrs old) wasn't working properly and the technician said it would cost more to fix it than to replace it so I oppted to replace it. I'm not very happy with the new microwave. It sticks out really far from my cabinets for one thing. The buttons need to be pressed much harder than any appliance I've had. It also is not popping my popcorn very well.

    Not as good as the original product. It does not heat as well so everything takes more time.

    bad service from best buy, good microhood

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The microhood its self is nice (I ordered 1 through homedepot after sending the one I ordered from best buy back). I purchased a open box unit that was rated like new with everything included in the box. When I got it home and pulled everything out, the attachment points on the top side were damaged to the point that one was pulled out of the casework, and the other was loose. It had been installed, and then deinstalled poorly. Best buy did not do their job checking it before relisting it. The parts missing/damaged are required to hang the microhood. Without them in placed and undamaged, you can not install it. I will not be buying any more appliances from best buy in the near future.

    Love to Disappointment

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    We bought this beautiful GE microwave 2 years ago. Unfortunately, the unit stopped working correctly (would not heat food). We are very disappointed and realize things are not made as well as they once were. We really loved this microwave too.

    Vent barely works when recirculating.

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Microwave works well but the vent is insanely loud and yet doesn't pull much air at all from under the stove. Odd. I pulled it down and double checked to make sure the fans were in the correct orientation and they were... Still barely pulls any air at all through the lower vent. Steam just floats up around it.

      Hey there, we're glad to know your microwave is working well, but we're sorry its vent fan isn't working well. We can certainly see why this would be so annoying and we're happy to help. The tissue test below can be used to check proper draw of the vent: Turn the vent fan on HIGH and hold a tissue or paper towel under the vent area. The suction should hold the tissue or paper towel in place. The draw is equal on both sides. It is normal to have some air blowing out of the top grill. If the unit does not hold the tissue or paper towel, check for proper installation of the fan ductwork. Refer to the installation instructions for complete instructions. If your microwave is vented internally we recommend replacing the charcoal filter every 6-12 months depending on usage. If the vent is installed properly and is still not drawing, we recommend scheduling service with a certified GE Appliances technician that will be able to accurately diagnose and repair your appliance. You can do so by calling GE Appliance Service at 1-800-GECares (1-800-432-2737). We hope this information is found useful and we're wishing you the best. - Guy@GEA GE_Appliances

    Quit at 1.5 years old

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    So my whole kitchen suite is GE. Have been really happy about them.....until now. The microwave completely died at 1.5 years old. GE wants nearly as much as a new microwave to fix. Extremely disappointed in what I thought was a good company that built reliable products. Will be going with a whirlpool now. DO NOT BUY.

    Doesn't last

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Purchased in Nov. 2016. Lasted less than 2 years. Just stopped working one day. The cost to repair was almost same as replacing. Very disappointing. No discount offered from BB or GE to replace. I guess GE is no longer a quality brand. Will check other stores and brands.

    As far as form function and value, it is the less expensive of microwaves its size. It has good functionality, do not expect it to last more than 6 years I have had 2
