Be cautious.

Unfortunately, this is the 3rd microwave of this brand and model in 9 years. We have to get it because it fits our cabinet space.

Works great till it doesn't

Works great until it doesn't. This is the second over the range GE I've had in six years! That's only 3 years use per microwave. The control panel has gone on both. I love this microwave, but I feel this isnt an appliance you should need to replace every year.

Even cheaper quality

Would Recommend

This is our 2nd model since our original that only lasted 7 years. This one both feels and sounds more flimsy than the previous one. I'll be surprised if this one last 5+ years. No wonder our landfills are full.

Quit after 16 months

Would Not Recommend

This microwave stopped heating food after just 16 months of purchasing it. Very disappointing and it was a pain to install so I’m not looking forward to installing another one so soon.

Size

Would Recommend

I was worried the turntable was too small and am pleasantly surprised that it works for my dishes just fine.

Love the settings included with this model!

Would Recommend

So far, so good. It looks great and is very quiet. I've only had it a few weeks, and basically just heat up or re-heat things in it. I dont use it to actually "cook" food (though you could.) But I like the evenness of the popcorn setting and also the reheat and beverage settings. This is a replacement for my 29 year old GE over the stove microwave from 1997 that didn't have all those settings. I hope this new one will last at least half that long!

Fingers Crossed

Would Recommend

We installed this above the stove microwave because it was the same model we had before. We're hoping this one will last longer than 6 years & 10 months before the magnetron stopped working.
