Really Nice Microwave!

Would Recommend

We had a 28-year old GE microwave we really liked so we went with the JVM6175DKWW as a replacement. It turns out (at least for us) the sensor aspect really helps cook foods properly. For example, baked potatoes always cook perfectly! I installed the unit mostly myself but used help getting it up on the wall and in place. The controls operate nearly identical to our old unit so there has been little learning curve. We've used it a couple of weeks now and have no real complaints but it would be ...

No longevity

Would Not Recommend

We continue to buy this model because we know it fits exactly over our range… it lasts about 3 years max and quits heating.. very inexpensive but does not have any longevity. We find ourselves once again replacing and reinstalling…You get what you pay for…

Missing feature!

Would Not Recommend

I purchased this GE microwave oven to replace my GE microwave that was installed in 2014. I thought I was getting the same features in this newer model since it said sensor cooking. However, my older model had a setting called my plate which allowed you to select the kind of vegetable meat or other item that you were cooking then select that specific vegetable and it start. The microwave provided specific cook times based on the item you entered fresh or frozen and it came out perfect every time...

Horrible quality

Would Not Recommend

The microwave is a very low quality. Within 2 months of purchase the handle is peeling like it was covered by tin foil. It is embarrassing and you should be extremely embarrassed that a brand well known is making the cheapest quality product. I will not recommend and I will show everyone so they think twice before wasting their money.

Install fee worth it

The two young men can and installed the microwave in half an hour and it would have take me 3 times as long. It was well worth the install fee.

Replaced of existing GE microwave

Fine For What I Need

this replaced an earlier model of a similar GE microwave--w/o sensors--which a damaged by pulling the door open too suddenly and violently. i'd had it for 6 or 7 years. the new one is fine although i find the sensor function, which i only use in beverage and reheat, a bit problematic. in beverage it tends to heat too hot. i use it often to reheat a pasta/veggie+ stew which i first tried to use the vegetable setting for. that would usually end up in an error message. now i use the soup setti...

GE microwave

to date we have been happy with the GS microwave. I enjoy several of the features on the panel. The door is like the bottom door of our GE electric stove that we purchased: light. Not sturdy like our previous unit. only place we can store our pots and pans, but the oven. That is another topic. Back to the microwave: Jill is still trying to figure out the microwave features.
