Works well.

In order for this microwave to be perfect for me, I would like to have a shelf to store my covers. The GE emblem could be somewhere else, I know it is centered in the door. The "Surface Light" can become very warm when left on for a while.

Good but not a fan of the vent

Overall, the product is good. Personally, I'm not a fan of the Express Cook features. I'm old-fashioned and prefer to put my own specific time in. It just makes it an extra step for me. Also, the automatic vent is OBNOXIOUS! If I'm cooking on the stove top or have the oven on, the vent automatically goes on after about 10 minutes. And in this day and age, it's way louder than it needs to be! My last microwave vented automatically but after a good 30-45 minutes of the stove top being on an...

perfectly adequate

Would Recommend

This is a nice microwave, exactly what you expect out of a microwave. But when did a simple basic microwave get so expensive? its a flimsy metal box but so essential. After the installation the top is clearly bowed near the mounting bolts, seems there is little to no support other than the thin metal casing. otherwise no complaints, it cooks well and fits plenty.

Does the job

I'm surprised at how well this functions. I have just been using the microwave that came with the condo, which was apparently 15 years old. This new one is so quiet and heat up food so fast. It also has a clean, neutral, neutral look, that blends in well with every type of kitchen

GE microwave

Capacity is really good and pretty large inside. My main issue with it is that the vent noise is pretty significant compared to earlier models with same CFI rating. That is my only complaint other than that it is pretty standard with all the standard features

The new microwave replaces one that expired 2 years ago. The controls on the GE take a little getting used to, but they are highly effective, a pleasure to use.

Very basic microwave

Would Not Recommend

We needed a microwave quickly when our 14 year old GE Profile model died. The store was able to deliver this very basic model in a week. It’s okay. It reheats our leftovers and coffee. But must admit, I miss the special features of the Profile model.
