Good product

Bought to replaced an old failed GE microwave. This mirowave is working great so far. The only issue is the mounting bracket and instruction was a little confusing.

Microwave

Previous GE microwave was purchased in 2000 and was great. The new one is not even close to the same quality. Extremely noisy. Hate it. Wished I had bought a different one.

It works but needs tweaking.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The microwave replaces another and lost the quality and solid feel of what I had. In the installation instruction booklet it truthfully states that noises are normal. The lack of insulation amplifies the turntable bumping sounds as it jerks along. No explanation in the installation manual about express cook feature. I never had it before. There is no backlight feature on the control panel. I have to turn the room lights on to see the panel. The...

Poor Design on Top Vent Openings

Would Not Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently purchased and installed this GE over-the-range microwave. After installation, I immediately noticed that the top of the unit has large open vent holes right where the cabinet shelving above extends. This creates a real problem — if something small falls out of the overhead cabinet, it can drop directly into these openings. Retrieving it would be nearly impossible and very frustrating. The 20+ year old GE microwave that this replaced...

Sleek modern design.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The short time I’ve had this appliance, it’s works well, but have not used all the features yet. It doesn’t appear to be as sturdy as the one I replaced. My previous one was about 18 years old, still working but didn’t match my new range.

Love this microwave! It is my birthday present!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the white interior, and the dark grey color with stainless steel because it matches my new range. The control features are simple and easy to use. Ventilation is great! The white interior makes it easy to see inside while cooking and the light is great!!!!!! The capacity is perfect!

User Friendly with Great Design Features

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Large capacity for streamlined appliance. The controls are easy to learn and the sensor feature helps keep you from overcooking. No more wrinkly potatoes. It has a nice lighting and venting feature, and it took about 15 minutes to unpack it, have the installation team get it up under the stove and working. I've always loved GE appliances and it looks like I still love the brand.

Good quality over range microwave.

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought a second GE microwave because our last one made it 23 years without a problem. This one is the updated version of the last one and we have high hopes. Our fridge is GE also and it has been great. Installed the microwave myself with my 92 year old father. Instructions recommend 2 people and I agree! Not complicated, but definite need to be precise and it is too heavy for one person.
