Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Bought this to replace our 19-year-old GE Microwave that finally bit the dust. I expect the new one to be every bit as high quality and long lived as the one it replaced. It was an easy install, since it fit exactly into the space the old one had been in for all those years. It looks awesome!

We have owned our new microwave a month now and we are really enjoying it. We would diffently recommend it to anyone wanting one. We are super glad we went with the larger size.

Great Features and Looks Great. Easy to se.

Works perfectly so happy with the features Easy to understand

Our last over the range GE lasted 15 years. This was not a perfect match to the old one for the top bolts that attach it the the cabinet. But it comes with templates to make it easier. Easy install. Easy to use. So far we love it. Looks similar to our old one but better. Similar features etc. so not a big learning curve.

I purchased this GE 1000 watt Microwave to replace a different brand that broke prematurely. I've been using this new GE for 1 week and it works great. I am hoping it lasts for years, like the 20 my mother's GE microwave lasted. I initially dinged GE 1 star because it is 2021 and this microwave still has the hard-to-press old type keypad - mash on the plastic-skin button until it reacts, as opposed to modern touch-glass - similar to touching a cell phone. Also the stove-top light is incandescent (the old yellow glow with lots of heat) as opposed to a long-lasting and much brighter LED. Now I am returning this to 5 stars because I just realized I can clean the keypad without unplugging the Microwave - a major aggravation with my old microwave's touch glass. And by random chance this old-fashion incandescent bulb perfectly matches my warm-color LEDs in the blended kitchen/family room which looks great together in the evening. The clock LCD is too bright, fortunately there is a setting to turn it off. The display still operates normally - just no clock (my stovetop has one anyway). Installation went well. GE ships it for an upper-rear exhaust and includes adapters for rear and recirculate, plus GE included a vent extender which makes it easier to attach with the hood in the cabinet above the microwave. The microwave itself has the same loudness as my prior microwave. The stove-top fan is amazingly strong but again, no louder than my prior microwave - I checked the exhaust vent outside of my house to make sure the backdraft flap opened properly. I couldn't believe how much airflow the stovetop fan pushed out. Operationally, my first cooking attempt required 4:00 mins but the microwave started the moment I pressed 4. I then pressed "Cook-Time" -> 4:00 -> Start and it worked as expected. The keypad numbers 1 - 5 are "Express Cook". Not sure anyone uses Express cook buttons - I could do without them. I'd rather set the time and press start. A manual isn't included so I have no idea what 1 to 5 actually is used for but GE thought ahead. Normally there is a sticker inside the door frame that tells you - not this one...but there is a QR code inside the door, and scanning it takes you to the microwave's page on GE's website. There you can download the manual, registration, product details, etc. Honestly, it was faster and easier than tearing open a plastic bag, pulling out the manual, and then looking for a place to save it - The manual is saved on my phone for easy lookup. In summary, I am very, very happy with this Microwave. In 20 years I hope to still be using it. Things I'd like to see improved: Replace the bright LCD clock with an LED display, replace all incandescent bulbs with LED, replace keypad & controls with touch-glass version (add a "Clean" button users hold for 3 seconds to prevent activation while wiping smudges off).

So far great microwave. Simple and easy to use. Love that I can mute the beep sound when pressing the buttons.

We purchased this microwave because it was the same size as our current microwave. The microwave has many good features. Very nice appearance.

Got this on a Memorial Day sale for a great deal, and I love it! Our old one was busted from previous owners so when we got this we were so excited. Wipes clean easily, the controls and buttons are nice, and it just looks good!

The Microwave was easy to install, use and good appearance.

So far, this microwave has been great. It is quiet and I love the ability to turn off the beeping sound. The popcorn button is my favorite because it never burns the popcorn like other microwaves I have had did. It cleans easily and looks great. No complaints so far!

I bought this over the stove unit to replace my old failed GE microwave, due to same size to fit. It had a couple differences, as in a new bracket to hang it and had to drill a new hole in above cabinet due to relocated fastener in top of new unit. Otherwise, the new unit works fine with a few differences and improvements. Was able to hang new unit myself without help.

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.

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.

Solid microwave. Don’t think it has anything special but does exactl what i expected. The family likes it and i don’t think the light is bad like others have said. I never expect the under light to be like a spot like so we like it alot. Happy with our purchase!

When our previous GE Over the Range Microwave went out after 14 years of great service, we tried to find a similar replacement. After a week or so of not having any luck in our local stores, we were able to order one online through Best Buy. It arrived within a couple of days and was delivered to our kitchen. Being a previous home builder, the swap out was very easy but for having to relocate 2 holes and changing out the mounting bracket. It has a very clean look and works great. Looking forward to another 14 years of service.

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.

I love the look and style of the microwave. It is easy to operate and I like that it cues you to complete a function. I miss and wish it had an option for warming rice. (Which was offered on my previous GE Profile )

great microwave easy to use and looks great ver easy to install
