I would recommend this to a friendSo quiet!!!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This microwave looks beautiful and is SO quiet! My husband used to wake me up when he heated things in the morning with our old microwave despite the fact our bedroom is the opposite side of the house. This microwave you can barely hear. Installation was super easy even tho we’re not very handy. Food cooking wise seems very good tho I’ve only had a week so haven’t used extensively. But everything I have heated has come out perfectly.

I would recommend this to a friend Like all our GE products
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Installation was fairly easy (for two people). The things we like most are the large areas of stainless steel for appearance, the turntable, the reheat choices, and the countdown, which gives you precise timing.
I would recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:Door quality, Light brightness
the light hangs down under the microve,
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Posted .Hello 1542 - thank you for providing a review of your over-the-range microwave. We're sorry to hear that it hangs too low. It should be installed so the top of the microwave is at least 66" from the floor. The cardboard is there by design. The cardboard (mica) covers the waveguide system that feeds microwave energy into the cavity and should not be removed. The microwave should not be used for any function if this cardboard cover is not in place. If removed, it would require service to replace. The difference in the door noise is due to a firmer spring in the door latch; this is a normal condition for the microwave. You can lift up on the latch to feel the tension. We appreciate your feedback regarding the door color and light and will share same with our product team Thanks for your feedback and for choosing GE Appliances! NANCYatGEA

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The microwave works great and looks good. Close match to the older GE appliances, but not perfect. The stainless shows fingerprints.
I would recommend this to a friendEar Plugs Needed!!!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This GE microwave replaced another GE microwave that lasted 5 1/2 years. This one is made more cheaply, especially the handle going from stainless to plastic. The vent sound level is deafening. You will not be able to have a conversation with someone next to you. Nothing says cheap more than a jet engine in your kitchen. Do not use Best Buy contractor installation services. This particular Best Buy is using a poorly rated contractor that damaged our cabinets.

||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a very nice microwave but I gave it only one star with the hope you read this and don't go to all the trouble like I did to install it only to find out the door won't swing open. Let me explain ... if you have a cabinet configuration like I have (see photo) where the cabinet on the door-hinged side of the microwave is deeper than the standard upper cabinet depth (in my case to accommodate a double oven), DON'T BUY THIS MICROWAVE! Once installed, the door will only open a few inches!! Due to the design of this door and its hinge, when the door swings open the left side of it "swings out" so to speak and hits the cabinet almost immediately. My old GE microwave was not an issue because the hinge was designed such that when the door opens, it does not increase the overall width of the microwave and hence doesn't come in contact with the side of the cabinet whatsoever. ONLY BUY THIS MICROWAVE IF YOU HAVE A NORMAL-DEPTH UPPER CABINET ON THE SAME SIDE AS THE MICROWAVE DOOR HINGE.

Posted .Hello SeffT - Thank you for sharing your experience with our microwave. We're sorry to hear the unit did not work with your configuration of cabinets. The model JVM7195SKSS is meant to be installed into 13" depth cabinets. Should you have 15" cabinets instead, this microwave can still be used, but will need to be installed with the bump out kit JX15BUMPWW/BB. Please let us know if you have any more questions. - John@GEAppliances
Poor Quality Workmanship. Do not buy.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Look at the pictures... I regretfully purchased this GE over the range microwave to match two of the other recent GE appliances I purchased for our kitchen (Range and Dishwasher). My perception of GE has always been that it is a high quality brand but this microwave does not live up to that expectation and now my perception has changed. The quality from the factory is not what I expected. I went to install this yesterday and opened the box and the "stainless steel" finishing plate on the door is out of alignment and it makes the door look like it is bent or crooked. If something this obvious left the factory it makes you wonder what else they missed. There must be absolutely no quality control for this to have passed. I didn't even have to take it out of the box or remove any of the plastic and I could see the flaw. Notice the attached pictures with the appliance still in the box. Don't buy this. Even if its cheap or on sale. The problem is if you buy it you'll have to drill a bunch of new holes to install it and then when it fails you'll have yet another set of range install holes in your studs / walls to worry about for the next microwave you buy.
