Replacement for Old Models and Easy to Install

This model GCST20S1WSS is nearly identical to a 2010 model JEB 1860SM1SS, which I just replaced using the existing trim. The term “countertop” means it could be used on the counter or placed in an opening above the oven as I did. Open the oven door and unscrew the four pan screws holding the trim, remove and set aside. Remove the screws holding the bottom inner trim mounting frame from the cabinet opening edge. With a helper, slide the old oven out, unplug it from the 110 outlet at the rear of the cabinet. Important. Before inserting the new, you must unlock the child proof oven door using the thumb screw on the right side and permanently unlock it per the instructions by turning the thumb screw with a Phillips head. Slide in the new unlocked oven and reinstall the trim.
We appreciate you leaving your feedback with us. Please know that this microwave is countertop installation only. Installing it above your range is not recommended, as it will void your warranty. We also don't recommend altering the trim or door of your unit.

Great size for my kitchen and family of 5. I was confused whether to buy 1.5 versus 2 ft. I am very happy with my choice. It fits perfectly well on my kitchen island. It does not come with choices of colors as far as I know. Indian match exactly with the color of my refrigerator.
Thanks for taking the time to share your experience and are glad you chose a GE Appliance unit for your home! This unit does come in black and white and well for the color options. We are happy to hear yours is fitting perfectly in your space and think you'll be impressed with its features for a very long time! Dianna@GEAppliances

While it was a little bigger than I planned (thats on me for not using a tape measure), this thing pumps out power and cooks my food with consistency. Previously, I had to adjust or outright abandon some deep frozen foods because the previous wasnt powerful enough. This is also large enough to accommodate my much larger, American-sized plates (we do love our food here). My tenants also grew to love it and it was a much more economical option that doing new wiring for an over the range version. Absolutely worth buying preowned.
This review is from GE - 2.0 Cu. Ft. Countertop Microwave with Sensor Cooking and Defrost - Black
I would recommend this to a friend

I got this to replace older microwave. The old microwave was a beast and didn’t play well with others. This microwave has a large cooking area and just enough technical controls that don’t overwhelm the cook.

This fits perfectly into our cutout space for our old built-in microwave. In fact, this GE model was the only microwave available with these dimensions. The functions are typical and easy to use. GE is always a reliable brand for my family.

Easy purchase. The store rep looked up my model number. Ordered the exact same microwave. Fits perfectly into my existing frame. Delivered on time. Excellent service.

Simple, affordable, beautiful looking appliance. Hope this one lasts 15 years like my old one. Love the size, power & features versus the cost. Open/close handle needs some work, makes a tinny noise. The whole unit is a little louder than my old one, possibly because of the size & its location withing a base cabinet, but I can live with that. Purchased the 4 year extended warranty & hope I don't need it. Came nicely boxed without gouges on the box. Stainless steel outside & white powder coated inside is just what I wanted. The cons: very noisy & no feature to shut off turntable when cooking a casserole. Easy set up & very easy registration.
Thank you for your continued loyalty to GE Appliances and for choosing us again for your home! We're happy to hear that the size, power, and features of your new appliance meet your needs, and we appreciate your thoughtful feedback on areas where we can improve the design. Your input is valuable as we continue to enhance our products. Lauren@GEAppliances

Love GE! There are 3 main things that I love about this GE microwave that replaced a similar LG model that quit working after about 2 years. 1) The LG had an annoying tune that played every time it finished its cycle. With the touch of one button, I can mute the sound on this one. LG had a rather complicated way to handle that and it had to be reset every time our electrical power was interrupted. 2) The design matches my GE profile stove which it sits near and it is slightly smaller than the LG which is helpful since this is on a shelf over the counter. Still has as much inside space as the other one. 3) Best of all--it is white inside, rather than a darker gray so I can once again see what is happening in there when the microwave is running. It also feels more solid, I love the one-touch quick starts for 1-6 minutes and didn't even realize how much stress the old one added to my work until this one replaced it. (I have a bed & breakfast and use it every day for melting, heating, etc.)

The size is great not too big but not too small. The sensory cooking works great! Large glass cooking area. The only part that could be better are the Start and clear buttons but after you use it, it gets easier.
We're glad you're enjoying your countertop microwave and its convenient features like sensor cooking and the spacious interior! We appreciate your feedback on the buttons and are happy to hear it’s getting easier with use. Lauren@GEAppliances

Has been running perfectly from day of purchase little over 2 months.
Easy to use and kids have no
issues with figuring out how to use it.. Did disable child lock via the little turn button on the side, that was annoying but might be helpful with super young kids.
Like the large size compared to our old one.
We're glad to hear your microwave has been working smoothly and that your family finds it easy to use! The spacious interior sounds like a great upgrade, and it's good to know you were able to adjust the child lock feature to suit your needs. Thanks for being a part of the GE Appliances Family!

Was not impressed with this microwave because of how loud it is, that the push/open was not smooth and a little tough when pushing it. I liked the price, but since we use the microwave alot, I wanted something that was smoother. After a few weeks, we returned, it was just not worth it
Your feedback is important to us and we're sorry to hear you returned your unit. We hope we can earn your trust back in the GE Appliance brand in the future. We will share your comments about the unit being louder than expected and it being harder to open on the unit with our product team so they may review. If we can help with anything in the future let us know. Dianna@GE Appliances

Excellent Microwave. Fits on my counter perfectly and works well to do everything I need it to!

Have only had for a few weeks, but works great, attractive front and I especially like how the back has a curved wall in the corners which makes it much easier to clean. Great idea.
Easy to cancel the lock on the door with the button on the side if you do not need it. Easy panel choices, has everything I need.

Great microwave, excellent power and all the convenient features. This was a replacement for my in-wall unit and I was able to use my same trim kit with minor modifications. Looks like the original!
We’re happy to hear your new microwave is performing well and that it worked with your existing trim kit with just a few adjustments. It’s wonderful that the updated unit blends in seamlessly with your original setup! Thanks for sharing your positive feedback. Lauren@GEAppliances

Good size was not as user friendly for first day but better now and a lot less sound when cooking.

This is the second microwave of this type that we have and it's great. It is very powerful and cooks faster than normal. Great for almost all occasions.
We appreciate your business, and we are so glad to hear you are pleased with your purchase. This model has great features including the great 1200 Watts of power and the extra-large turntable at 16 inches. The add 30 seconds pad is a consumer favorite feature that allows you to easily add more time by pressing it multiple times if desired. Thank you! Joyce@GEAppliances
