    The same old microwave dressed up in stainless

    As a microwave, nothing much has changed at GE over the past 20 years. It does what it says it does. But some features need to be updated. For example... a. The display brightness is not adjustable. It is quite bright. b. The touchpad needs backlighting. Unless you've memorized the positions of all the input buttons, the gray text on a black background is unreadable without turning on the kitchen lights. What a simple feature that GE (and others) have ignored for years, and so annoying it is not present. We bought this model thinking it could re-use the same mounting bracket and upper cabinet support anchors of the one it replaced. It couldn't. As a cost-cutting "improvement", GE reduced the number of upper cabinet bolts from 3 to 2. I guess a penny savings was worth re-engineering the support hardware.

    I love my new Microwave. I like all the features it has, I have never had the stainless steel appliances before. So easy to wipe down and really added a great new look to our kitchen.

    Not made as well as same model that failed that was almost 5 years old. The stainless panels over the plastic shells are thinner metals. Keypad requires harder press than previous one,Wall mounting plate is thinner gauge metal than previous one ( same model number).Size is good. power seems accurate.

    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.

    GE 1.9 Cu. Ft. Over the range microwave.

    Perfect replacement for my original GE over-the-range microwave. Installation including removal of old microwave was less than an hour (almost a plug-n-play replacement). I like this one better than the old one, as it has sensor cooking, nicer keypad with more options, easier mounting, and better, more predictable performance (this unit is 1000 watt, old one was 1100). If there was a con, it would be that it took a little over a month to get the unit due to current supply issues. Also, this unit was manufactured in China, not in Kentucky by GE. However, the quality of this unit appears to be just as good as the one it replaced (so far, so good). The unit being on sale didn't hurt either and was a deciding factor in purchasing (Best Buy had the best price and selection). Would recommend this unit and Best Buy highly. :)

    Replaced Microwave with updated model

    We were disappointed when our first GE over-the-range microwave quit after only 6 years. It had had one major repair. We always liked the way it worked though. Slate color is very hard to find and we had purchased the GE suite in slate. We ordered the updated version of the same microwave. Installation was a bit tricky as they had changed the brackets and the fan had to be moved as we vent through the roof. Once installed it looked great and fit very well. The handle doesn't feel as sturdy and the closing latch sounds kind of weak. We had seen reviews noting the handle didn't hold up. Keeping our fingers crossed and using the microwave multiple times every single day. It works well!

    I love this microwave. It's got so much room, I could fit a full-size turkey in there if I wanted to nuke a turkey... which I don't, but still. Nice to have options. Easy to use, as well. I really like the control panel layout.

    Lots of great features but it is a bit noisy especially as it starts up. Except for that I love it. Easy to operate. It does a great job of replacing an exhaust fan, cooks food evenly.
