    Our new microwave great- the install took a bit after realizing it wouldn't mount with the existing mount (from the same but a few years old model)- otherwise -very happy with it!

    Replaced an old Whirlpool Microwave. So far so good. Installation was pretty straight forward. Heats food with no issues. 1000watts is more than enough to heat food quickly.

    The microwave is esthetically pleasing and functions as expected for the price point. It is extremely loud in case thats a concern to anyone.

    Works well, buttons and the door are very poorly made. You have to push really hard to get the buttons to work and the door is made completely of plastic very cheap.

    Arrived very quickly. Received my item in 3 days after I ordered online. Can be installed with two adults. Works great! Stays clean because the rotating glass has a reservoir below it. Would give GE a five star but these microwaves only last three or so years.

    Great. is a good choice for a busy household. It earns an Excellent rating in our heating evenness test, in which we reheat a dish of cold mashed potatoes. Speed of heating is also top-notch, and it operates quietly.

    We have had this for a while and it like our previous GE microwave ovens is very good. I always like the 30-second instant button! Would like to have an auto-off on the light for a time setting.

    Love my new microwave. The slate finish hides fingerprints. It's super spacious. What we didn't love was that it doesn't come with a venting sleeve. We used the non-vent option and I think we will need to re-install with a vent sleeve. It's gorgeous, buy it.

    Spacious 1.9 sized microwave, it comes with the over the range vent fan facing up, so you will have to adjust depending on where the position of your vent is.

    Bought this to replace a similar 10+ year old over the range GE microwave that finally gave up the ghost and suddenly stopped working. I like the bigger display and quiter operation though there is some initial buzzing caused by some of the panels vibrating for a few seconds upon turning it on, which goes away throughout the microwaving cycle. I picked this over the smaller models because of the better interior material that's easier to clean.

    My Kenmore developed a glitch, and it was easier to replace than to fix. This GE model fits the same but is slightly bigger inside. Features were comparable and this new microwave operates in all the ways we ever used a microwave. Very happy with this purchase.

    Love the microwave because it has a large display. It was easy to install and has rather accurate food sensing technology. However, after installed and using it we noticed sometimes after hitting start, it would start counting down the time but wouldn't actually turn on. We have to push the door closed using the center of the handle, otherwise it won't turn on. Might be just the one we bought, but didn't want to take it back out nor did we still have a box in one piece to even return or exchange it. It also have all the feels and sounds of plastic parts so overall build quality could certainly be improved.
