Declining quality and ease of installing

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] (1) This is the 5th one that have had over the years (25!) and the quality continues to decline. The previous one did even last three whole years. They just seem to be better than the other brands but not by much. I had to buy an extended three-year warranty for this one. (2) Also, it didn't come with a shelf, and (3) was advertised as an exact replacement, but the expanded metal on the back made the top holes off by 1/4 inch. I had to remove s...

Looks good

Nice looking unit that fits fine. Door latch seems tinny. Disappointed that it doesn't include power level even though there is a power level marking.

So far it’s working fine although I am disappointed that the latches are plastic. I don’t see this microwave last 30 years like my last GE microwave.

Microwave

Would Not Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The lights overhead heat to the point of burning you. So we cannot use . Also the turntable is flimsy and the glass comes off the track. I would not recommend this appliance to anyone.?I really want it replaced. We had to pay an electrician to install it. He dented it under neath. This was a very bad experience buying this item.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great product for the price. Has all the functions of a more expensive unit. Unit is quiet when in use and range light is the perfect brightness. Installing was a breeze

Changed Model Features

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had a previous GE model purchased 13 years ago. Unless I'm just used to the first one, I feel this one is cheaper made but of course more expensive. My first one had an upper tray - I wasnt able to find an upper tray included in the new models. The sound when in use seems louder than my first one. Installation was normal-but assumed it would be an easy install since it was supposed to be the same model but holes were off. Although I chose sla...
