This microwave isn't loaded with unnecessary features but has all the one's that are important like the popcorn button. I do wish that you could mute the beeps when the buttons are pressed so the wife can't catch me making a midnight snack. Also the style is perfect for something a little different instead of the bland look that most microwaves have in this price range.

Nice Polished Looking Microwave

Has all the normal features. I think it looks a little more polished since it has a brushed nickel kind of finish for the handle. It has a retro kind of look too as it has chrome trim around the front door glass.
You have to buy your own charcoal filter if you are using the recirculation feature of the fan. Kind of a pain since you pay $200+ for a microwave and it doesn't come with a $4 charcoal filter. Get the filter from an online retailer and buy 4 or 5 of them to justify the shipping.
Install was a typical under cabinet mount and fairly easy.
So far so good.

This is a very trendy looking microwave and it was a great addition to use. We had a GE before and it lasted for 13 years so we decided to stick with that brand again. I thought the price was very reasonable. It aslo fits well in smaller spaces and was easy to install.

Perfect Microwave

This Microwave is just unbeatable and is the closest you will get to a cheap over the range microwave that is perfect! It's extremely quite! It cook quickly and the range light is plenty bright because it has two light instead of one. The stainless part of it is actually plastic but looks and matches real stainless great! A microwave is the most used item in my kitchen I use it at least once a day, I have only had it for about 3 months or so with no problems its still just a quite as when I first installed it. You cant go wrong with this one! I initially bought it because of the great reviews all of which is true and then I seen it on sale for the same price of other brand name competitors that have not near as good of reviews at this one. You just cant beat the quality and price of this microwave! Stop researching and buy it you wont be disappointed! :-)

I bought this microwave to match my new gas stove and refrigerator. The design of these match my remodel of my 1939 kitchen. While looking retro, it has all the easy to use features we need.

I thought GE stepped their game up with this series, but I'm kind of disappointed. Love the style but quality is same as of low-end models. Not sure if worth the price bump just because of design improvements. The clock sounds like a tractor(

I liked this microwave because I liked the fact that it combines the white with the stainless allowing me to comingle stainless appliances with white. So far the microwave has been great, no complaints. It's extrememy quiet, I almost didn't think it was working the first time I used it because it was so quiet. I also bought the artistry series dishwasher but haven't used it yet so I can't review it but the two look great together.

The carcoal filter was not in the box. We could not find one locally so we ordered from GE. This cost is another $20. Disappointed about that. The sales person as great. He had to climb up the ladder to get the unit from its high storage place and carry it down. It was heavy. He also opened the box to verify that it was the color that we were looking for. Great service.

For the short time I have had this microwave, it works well and has met all my expectations. I had a GE microwave previously and many of the features are similar which made it easy for me. Looks good too.

I took a gamble and ordered this sight unseen because I wanted something in between boring white and hard-to-clean stainless. It looks great- the surface is very glossy, the stainless accents are nice. The buttons are a little hard to push, and the interior is shorter than my previous model of the same size. Overall, I like it and look forward to getting the matching range with its cute retro styling.

It looks nice, so far it's working fine. Was a bear to install. We thought we got the wrong template. No interior light.

This microwave replaced a previous GE model. The installation was fairly easy but did not match the mounting points from the previous unit.
The unit works OK but still learning minor issues. When cooking multiple pieces of bacon we often burn part of the bacon. I think(hope) this is just a learning problem. When just heating or reheating food we have had no problems.

Overall a great microwave. It has 2 lighting settings regular and then nighttime. It also has 2 fan settings loud and extra loud. I say this because when you hear the fan for the first time it shocks you because of how loud it is. Other than that it's a great machine!
You can also turn the turntable on or off.

Very happy with the look of this microwave. Retro, but at the same time, modern looking. quiet and seems to cook evenly. My only complaint is when the time comes to change the filter, it will not be easy. I was very nervous installing the filter when new because it almost seemed like a piece of plastic was going to break off trying to get cover back into place. Time will tell on that I guess.

It operates well. The exhaust fan is powerful with 2 settings. I also like the fact that the underneath light has two setting (High and Low). My wife likes to keep it on low at night to be able to see in an emergency. The look of white and chrome is classy. Overall, we love it!!!
