    Once again GE has not let us down. The microwave does exactly what we wanted it to do. We had an LG before this and it didn't work as well. The light was weak, the vent fan wasn't as strong and it took entirely too long for food to cook. So when we ordered this, we still had our concerns, but luckily those went away immediately. The stove light has two settings. The vent hood has 4 strength settings and most importantly, the cooking power cooks food really fast. So far no complaints!

    Item was originally supposed to be delivered February 21st, then delayed until March 7th. Now delayed until March 16, if it arrives by then, we'll see. If we had known it would have been a month to get it, we would have shopped elsewhere.

    We had no idea this new GEmicrowave would be so noisy when it’s running. We thought it would be quieter, like our own old GE microwave - which we had for about six years.

    Sales person sold me the wrong unit. After going over, at length, the space dimensions, microwave it was to replace, all the facts and specs and he got it wrong. Worst of all, the appliance manager at that particular store, Danvers, MA, was totally abrasive, confrontational and totally unprofessional. Never dealt with a total "tool bag" like this guy. Will NEVER purchase another appliance at BB, sorry, brutal experience. To be clear, unit is fine in its performance, just doesn't fit the space appropriately and no one would help remedy the situation.

    This was to be a replacement for a microwave--using the exact same model number and identifying information as the the first one. Despite the reorder of the same microwave, they were quite different. The worst part was the way in which the unit mounted to the wall and cabinet, as the two mounted in substantially different ways. If this was not to be an exact replacement, I would have rated it higher.

    I think it's fair to grant the microwave 1 star for every successful year of it's life. After a custom cabinet installation this microwave has lasted about 13 months. We are 2 people using it in a house that we spend 4 days a week at - so it's not like it's been overworked. I'm really disappointed in this.
