What Customers Are Saying

This countertop microwave offers a spacious 2-cubic-foot capacity and powerful 1200-watt cooking performance, allowing for quick and even heating. The intuitive controls, including express cook buttons, and useful features like the mute function and large turntable are well-received. However, some users have reported concerns about the product's durability, with the microwave stopping working after 1-2 years of use. Additionally, the build quality is described as feeling a bit cheap, and there are occasional issues with noise and the microwave not sitting level. Overall, this microwave provides good value and performance, but prospective buyers should be aware of the potential reliability and quality control concerns.

Don’t buy. Component failed in just over a year

Would Not Recommend

Had this for a little over a year and then it won’t turn off. As soon as the door closes it starts. A microwave of this price point should last longer and the faulty sensor should be replaced free.

Poor quality

This is the second one i had. The first one didn't last a year and they sent me a replacement. The second one just went out after lasting 2 1/2 years and it quit working like the first one. So much for quality! I'm done with GE!

Power level adjustments suck.

Why did this updated 2.0 cu.ft. model disable the simple power level change when oven is in countdown which the prior 2.0 model had? We loved the previous 2.0 model but had to get a smaller model because the new system is VERY inconvenient!

Worst Microwave I ever owned

Owned this unit for a little over 2 yrs using it primarily to warm up coffee and leftovers. Today it started making a loud noise sounding llike it was going burst into flames. Other brands last around 10yrs.

Good Quality

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoy my microwave. I had a G. E. One before we and it lasted along time. I HOPE this one will also. Easy to use.

Disappointed

Would Not Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had an older version of this microwave for nearly a decade until it started to rust. I loved it! The features, the size, etc. Naturally, I hoped that this one would hold up for a few years. I purchased it in October 2024 and in November 2025 it just stopped working. I’m so disappointed and will probably just move on from GE.

Love it so much, we bought another

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great microwave - like it so much, we bought another one to replace the original. It's big enough for large casserole dishes. Love the popcorn control button too.

Stopped working

I am so disappointed. I've only had 2 years 4 months

Stopped working after 2-1/2 years.

Would Not Recommend

Long before it stopped working, we started noticing that the heating using the beverage option only worked about half the time. Eventually, it stopped actually cooking using any option, even though it looked like it was working fine.

Lasts about 2 years

Would Not Recommend

This worked fine until just under two years and the door latch broke. Looking for parts but I'm sure it will be cheaper and easier to just replace it.

Worth the price we paid!

Would Recommend

Absolutely worth the price we paid! The interior space allows for opens to do more than just small things. We like the option of being able to turn the beeping noise off, that is a huge plus. Overall, very please with the microwave.

Great Features and a Great Price

Looked at a lot of options before we bought this model. Had the largest turntable so there’s a lot more room for various dishes. Easy settings for cooking, including fast settings. Works great. Very even cooking. Noise level when running is good. (It’s very quiet when it isn’t running!) Dimensions are really good for the size of the interior. Powerful - wattage is accurate. Good quick cooking. Absolutely recommend this to my friends. A very happy customer.

Loving this new microwave

Would Recommend

This powerful microwave is larger than my previous one, but it is worth the lost countertop space! Food cooks evenly and the reheat function just knows exactly how to cook what I put in! The quick minutes of 1 through 6 are excessive.
