The sleek stainless steel or slate design integrates well with existing kitchen appliances.

Great Features!

I bought our new GE microwave almost a month ago and we're very pleased with it. I had Lowe's service install it for us and Robert did an excellent job. So happy we purchased it at Lowe's as everyone was very efficient!

GE 1.6 microwave

Works well. Wish the cabinet hole alignment was the same as other GE units. Would be nice to swap easily without re-drilling cabinets. Product was in stock and works well.

This was an easy replacement for my 25 year old GE microwave. I'm good to go for another quarter century!

Would Recommend

The microwave was an excellent product for a moderate price. The installers made some tears on the backdrop below the microwave when they removed the old microwave and did not offer to make any repairs. Had they been more careful this could have been avoided.
