    Fell apart, GE said too bad

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    After 6 months, the door handle just shattered. Had one yr. warranty, but GE said it was cosmetic, and would charge me $250 to replace door. It only cost $160. After 13 months, the control panel started operating on it's on. It cost $170 to replace that part. Of course, after the 12 mo. warranty expired. I could go on with other problems, but you get the point. STAY AWAY FROM GE PRODUCTS.

    Problems in 6 months

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I would think twice about buying this microwave. I went for it because of the GE brand and price. It is six months old and now starts running when you open the door. It is still under the 12 month GE warrantee and they are sending someone out it 4 days to look at it. They said they would either replace it or fix it, we'll see. If I had to guess they will fix it and then the problem will resurface after the warrantee expires. :(

    Poor Quality Product & Service

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Product heated only internittently starting on the 2nd day. Service was scheduled for one week later. One week later service verified it didn't work, but didn't have part so he rescheduled for the next week. Part never arrived so they canceled me amd stated to call them when the part finally arrived. Hopefully it's not too late to return it to Best buy for full refund.

    Great Product for the Money

    This purchase was a surprise for my wife and she loves it. The microwave is very simple to use, even my eight year old can cook anything he wants to in it. The unit is lightweight and easy to install. It is large enough that it will of course require 2 people to install. We are very happy with the purchase.

    Another one bites the dust.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    We have had this microwave for 2.5 years. Came home today and the key pad has shorted out and needs service. Parts and $69.99 visit alone is more than the unit and this is before we pay labor. My father worked for GE for 37 years and we have been loyal to the brand. No More! I will take my chances on another brand.

    Good deal for the money

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The install was a little more difficult since we had to drill through a tile backsplash. Besides that factor installation was a breeze. Every aspect works fine but the exhaust fan is a little on the loud side. We are hoping that it will go down with some use...

    We purchased this microwave as a replacement to one that we had for many years. It cooks evenly, matches our white appliances wonderfully and was easy to hook up. We are very happy with the price we paid and the outcome of our purchase :).

    short life span

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Only 1 year warranty. Manufacturer offered no assistance in repair or replace and not cost effective to repair. Sad that manufacturers are not required to provide better warranties for their products. Spent about $250 for it 2 years ago, now faced with spending another $250-$300. It won't be a GE product in any form!

    WHAT A DISAPOINTMENT

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    A $400 microwave should last more then a year. The unit blew my circuit breaker. After I reset the breaker the unit would not turn on. This unit was used to reheat on rare ocassions. I probably got 24 hours of use out of it and now GE wants to charge $100 to have some one come out and look at it.

    Broke after 13 months

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    After 13 months, right outside of the 12 month warranty the keypad quit working, rendering the microwave competely useless. GE's solution was to call a repairman to fix the keypad. The keypad costs as much as the microwave, none of it was worth the money. It is now a dry storage box.

    This micorwave broke 6 days after I had it installed. Infact, it stopped running Christmas afternoon when we were preparing our feast! Ge came out within a week to fix it, only to find one day later the unit is running extremly loud. Looks like we have to call GE once again!

    You can get better, but you can't pay more

    Just over one year old, and it stopped heating. Spent $91 on a service call to find out it would cost about $200 to fix. Junk all the way. Stay away from GE products; it is definately my last.

    Built to go in a land fill

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Our GE SpaceSaver Microwave was designed so you have to call a repairman to change the bulbs. The covers open away from you, the bulbs are screwed in backwards and they are sealed in, hence the instructions, "break the seal and gently turn the bulb" mean, break the bulb, spend an hour trying to remove the base, go blind trying to see what you are doing while leaning backwards over the regular oven, then call the repairman, wait 2 weeks for the bulbs to come in, wait an extra 4 hours for the repairman to arrive and then pay them $145! Guess what brand of any appliance is no longer in my consideration set?

    You must order the charcoal filter from someone since it is not included. Only used if you vent back into the kitchen.
