Shortcoming

Overall, I think the product is good. It's attractive and super quiet. However, there is a major shortcoming. The keyboard is not backlit, which makes it difficult to read. What makes no sense is that the clock is very brightly lit. Too bad some of that brightness wasn't shared with the keyboard!
Fortunately, my microwave is mounted above the counter where I look almost straight at the keyboard, but it's still hard to read. If it was mounted under the counter, the keyboard would be extremely hard to read and might even require kneeling to get a decent view of the keyboard. GE made a big mistake by not lighting the keyboard.

Microwave is fine and fits in the cutout opening. The trim kit was scratched but replaced with no hassle. My only disappointment is there is a small opening between the microwave and trim kit. My old one was completely flush.

Microwave is the only one that fits the built in space, but at least it has been a stable offering from GE. Last one lasted almost 10 years. More expensive and less powerful because if its size. I originally bought a open box and it was shipped horribly and arrived damaged. At least Best Buy is easy to return in store and exchange with new microwave.
We are glad this microwave works in your space well but are very sorry for your inconvenience in having to return your opened box model. It is nice to hear that Best Buy was able to get this exchanged for you though. We appreciate your purchase and hope that you have your new microwave for many years to come. Joyce@GEAppliances

This was purchased to replace a similar GE that died. It is designed to install in a cabinet, but is a little taller than the old one. It needs a new frame to fit.
The oven itself works great. Even though it is listed at 800W vs. 1100W for the old one, this cooks faster than the old one.
The WiFi and Alexa interface works great. It is easy to tell Alexa how long and what power to use. You can also scan the bar code on frozen food to set the oven. We haven’t tried that yet.

I am only giving this experience a five-star review because I was informed by the staff that helped us at the store when we returned this item that this rating only would apply to them and not the entire experience. They were wonderful.
Prior to that, you deserved a 1, if that. This damaged item has taken hours of our time, both before it was delivered (contrary to our request not to deliver it while we were out of town) and after. At this point, you should be paying us. You can review this experience in your notes. I will be sharing this horrible experience with your company far and wide. I must say that the individual people I have spoken to have been helpful, although speaking to customer service in a non-English-speaking country has had its share of frustration.

Okay, it's a little more expensive ($400) but: Sleek, quiet, tons of options, "smart" capabilities... This is an excellent machine, and we (informally) tested it against another GE, and LG and a Toshiba. Won hands down, and now it's installed in our kitchen!

This product was exactly what we need since we have a specific area with specifications and this model was it!
The help in store at the Brick, NJ location was very beneficial and ultimately led to the purchase.

I'm not sure why there is such a limited selection of built-in capable microwaves that exist and why each of them is 4x as expensive as a standard counter-top microwave, so if you're unlucky enough to have one just hope that it never breaks because you'll be forced to replace something you really don't want to or have an wide open space above your counter that not much will fit well into.

Walked in and was immediately was asked how I could help. They directed to the right person. As soon as I showed him what I was looking for he replied I’ll have it right out.
He even loaded it for me.
What better service could you ask for ?

Over priced for a 1.1 cu ft microwave with features not needed (never will bar code a food package to figure out how to heat) and low (800 watts) power, but fits exactly the limited cabinet opening space we have to keep it off a counter.
We’re glad to hear this model is a perfect fit for your cabinet space, especially in a kitchen with specific size needs. We’re confident its design and convenience will continue to serve your space well. Lauren@GEAppliances

It fits it works and it works quietly. The defrost button helps save old donuts.

Expensive but only one that fits. Underpowered at 800 watts. Only reason to buy is that it fits exsct same as our old one. Could have got any other similar one in a different size a lot cheaper
We appreciate you taking the time to leave us your review. Consumer experience is extremely valuable to us, and we'll share this with our team for consideration. We're sure you'll love this microwave in your home for a long time to come! -Kacie@GEAppliances
