I would recommend this to a friendSub-par quality
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was limited to physical spacing due to cabinet dimensions and this microwave was the replacement model for my old unit. It is of poor finish and control panel is already proving to be an issue. Not impressed, not interested in future purchases GE.

Posted .Hello. We appreciate you letting us know your impression of this microwave, though we truly hate to hear you have a concern over the noise level of the unit. We know this may be frustrating, and will certainly send your feedback to our Cooking Products Design team; we value your insight, as we always want to know of any concerns our consumers have. If it might help with your sound concern, the signal sound can be adjusted – by pressing the Beeper Volume option, you can choose from 0 to 3 (mute to loud). We do expect some noises to be made while the microwave is in operation, such as the sound from the blower and a dull thumping sound; however, if you are concerned the noise you’re hearing is out of the ordinary, our Service Department is available at 1-800-432-2737. A technician would be glad to examine the unit. We hope this information is helpful, and are happy to assist with any other concerns or inquiries you may have. -Sarah@GEA

Quality is not so good.

It is not designed for a built-in type of application and we do not offer the kit needed to build it in.

GE Microwave 2.0 cu ft full-size stainless steel
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After a couple of months' use, this awful microwave oven started making very LOUD noises while running more than 2 minutes. I was afraid to keep using it so threw it away and bought a different brand. Not buying any more GE microwaves!!

Works well, just disappointing design
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been purchasing GE microwaves for years and they have been reliable and well designed. This one, however, is lacking features that have been standard forever! And the physical design is not good. You are unable to change the power level mid-cooking. This was a standard feature on previous models. Very disappointing that this was eliminated. As for the design, the window on the door is small and this makes it difficult to see the food inside. And the clock is not flush with the surface, it is set back which makes the numbers difficult to see when viewing from different angles. My biggest complaint is the inability to change the power level during cooking. When something starts to boil over on the stove, you can turn it down. Well, the same thing should be available (again) on the microwave. If this is not a concern for you, then it is a decent microwave.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendVERY DISAPPOINTED
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I PURCHASE THIS MODEL ON 9/13/23 AND THE PUSH BUTTON DOOR MECHANISM HAS BROKEN. THIS IS GREAT WORKING MICROWAVE EXCEPT FOR THE CHEAP PLASTIC PARTS ON THE DOOR LATCH AND PUSH BUTTON OPENER. MY ONE YEAR WARRANY IS USELESS SINCE IT'S BEEN 16 MONTHS. I HAVE TRIED ONLINE SOLUTIONS BUT I AM NOT CAPABLE OF GETTING INTO THE MACHINE THAT DEEP. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED.
