Above average microwave

The appearance is attractive with a large array of control buttons for cooking. The vent fan isn't as noisy as my last one. The over-range light is bright. Seems to cook OK. It's noisier than my last one when running and it sounds"clanky", metallic, when the door is closed, which gives the impression that it isn't high quality. But that's to be determined since I just started using it.

Steller (almost)

Almost stellar product. Only thing I would add is a rack, so you have two cooking levels

Noisy

It is a spacious and efficient microwave, but is very noisy when in use.

So far it’s good

So far, it’s been a good microwave. I like the sensor and how when beverage is selected, it counts down from 20 seconds. You can’t pause during sensor cooking but you can hit off.

It's only ok!

Would Not Recommend

The door is loud and tight to close. Keeps beeping if you take food out sooner unless you shut the button. Not so user friendly. I loved my older moder which I had for over 20 years. I guess it just takes time as you get older to manage the newer products.

Looks great -- so far, so good. Just installed.

Too early for review or rating. One problem -- how do you put in less than 30 seconds. The numbers from 1 - 0 are for full minutes, and there is a 30 second choice. What if you want 15 or 20 seconds, etc. I'd appreciate an answer.

Good capacity

The minimum directions sent with microwave was poor. I find no instructions for power change. Items do not heat as well as my previous microwave.

GE 1.7 cubic ft Microwave

Just got this microwave today and love the looks of it. Did use it for dinner and worked very well! Still learning all the features but am very pleased!

Mounting to cabinet is a nightmare

This is my fourth GE microwave and they ALL had different locations for the power cord and the mounting bolts. I had to replace the bottom of the cabinet because of all the holes. It seems to me that GE COULD PLACE ALL OF THESE IN THE SAME PLACE, MAYBE RELOCATE SOME OF THE NEW TYPE OF ELECTRONIC PARTS. Maybe it is beyond GE engineering????

Longer heating time

Great size, only complaint is that it's maximum heating capability is minutes slower than my previous more basic model. Very disappointing considering the high price
