Microwave
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good / miss the 1 minute and 2 minute knobs on old one - this one has only 30 seconds/ otherwise it is good
I would recommend this to a friend - Cons mentioned:Keypad
Looks good, works well
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this to replace a 17 year old GE in our motor home. We've only used it a few times, but it works well. I had to install a 20 amp circuit due to the increased power from the old one. the 4 stars is because of a couple of lacking features. It would be nice to have a back lit key pad, and the max temperature is 425. These are things I didn't think of until it was too late. It also is a finger print magnet

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.GE makes a decent microwave product. This one does not have as many features as my last GE oven but to be honest, I never used them all. Happy with one.

Great price for a terrific product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is part of a kitchen remodel and we are on a budget, so the timing of this convection microwave display model going on sale was perfect! No one else could come close to this price. We have to wait to try it out, but if anything is not right, we know that Best Buy will stand behind it.

Over range microwave
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very nice microwave and the convention oven works great.
I would recommend this to a friend Excellent!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My wife loves features of lighting and vent. Led white light is much better than yellow light to cook especially early in the morning when it is still dark. Vent is so powerful that my wife can't smell of cooking but there are three levels so you can adjust it. Of course the microwave itself works great.
I would recommend this to a friendmicrowave mistake
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Because this microwave has a dial to set the time and does not have a touch pad to set the cook time, you can only set the cook time in increments of 15 seconds. I wish I had realized that before I purchased it. Also, the sounds on the microwave started not working consistently after I had had it about 9 months. I called GE for service, and their solution was to unplug the microwave to reset it. That did not work. The person I spoke to did not think the problem was worthy of sending a repairman.

love the convection feature
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to use, love the convection feature. Would prefer white interior.
I would recommend this to a friend So-so and problematic
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm unable to change the power level. It says Cannot Be Changed at this time all the time!!! The buttons are hard to push. Finicky. I had an advantium which I loved but they're unavailable. The last one I ordered not from Best Buy had to be returned to GE. It had too many problems and you can't get parts from China. I don't think I'll ever buy a GE again. I had to pay twice for an install that cost almost as much as the microwave.

Posted .Hello, thank you for your review. We are sincerely sorry that your microwave is not allowing you to change the power level and that you have not been pleased with control panel. We understand how that would be frustrating and would love to look into this further as this is not the ownership experience we strive for. If you haven't done so already, we recommend you schedule service with us by calling 1-800-GECares (1-800-432-2737) Monday – Friday: 7 a.m. – 10 p.m. ET or Saturday – Sunday: 8 a.m. – 6 p.m. ET or by visiting the "Schedule Service" link under the "Owner Support" tab on our website. -Chris@GEA
Great Equipment!! (GE!)
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This GE Profile microwave replaced my last one, which lasted 15 years. I like the look of the new one, however, I find the buttons are not as user friendly, and have to be depressed several times if you don’t hit the exact spot. I have Samsung and GE products, and I find the GE products to be much more reliable.
