Would Not RecommendI purchased this microwave online for my mother-in-law. The 3rd party installer came and didn't do anything. He looked at the existing microwave and said the new one won't work, something about the "hinges being inside versus outside. How is anyone to know which will work and which won't? He cancelled my order and returned the new microwave to the store. Now I don't know what to do. I cannot tell which on will work. HELP !!!

It’s perfect. Had to replace the one I “burned up”.? Next time, I will use Lowe’s installation services. Took me a week to find someone to install it.

GE microwave
Would RecommendIt seems to work fine, but closing the door is a bit tinny.
Great features!
Would RecommendI really like how you can use the timer and microwave at the same time. It's very quiet as well.

To bypass the express cook function, simply press the Cook Time button, and then input the amount of time you'd like to cook your items. You can ... Read More

Great fit
The cooking area is large which is a plus. This was a perfect fit to replace original microwave. We installed it ourselves and it wasn’t too bad.
