Good match for GE appliances already in the kitchen

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.

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.

Crushed microwave

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.

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 like the size and the design. It is easy to use. I don’t need to read an owner’s manual to operate it. It fits most dishes. The installation was relatively painless. My only issue was product availability. I had to drive 40 minutes to pick it up because this was not stocked locally.

This microwave has a clean look that goes well in our kitchen. we installed it ourselves, replacing our old Frigidaire professional series microwave. for the most part, installation went OK, however, there are a few things that were a bit of a chore. The mounting bracket seemed a bit flimsy, and the holes for bolting to studs were not exactly lined up where I needed them. If I had any mounting issues, I would aim it at all microwave oven makers - to standardize the location of the top mounting holes that go through the cabinet above. The holes in this microwave are very close to the old ones, so I ended up with two holes right next to each other so it's not very sturdy there.
the microwave is large inside and relatively easy to use. i wish the start and cancel buttons were on the bottom row of buttons so they are easier to find. Since the faceplate is all the same color, I have to look for it every time. the surface light is not very bright either.

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.

Great size, has all the features I needed, and fit perfectly on the previous bracket that was already installed. It was just what we needed, and super fast delivery.

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.
