GE 1.6 microwave

Works well. Wish the cabinet hole alignment was the same as other GE units. Would be nice to swap easily without re-drilling cabinets. Product was in stock and works well.

This was an easy replacement for my 25 year old GE microwave. I'm good to go for another quarter century!

The microwave was an excellent product for a moderate price. The installers made some tears on the backdrop below the microwave when they removed the old microwave and did not offer to make any repairs. Had they been more careful this could have been avoided.

Poor Quality

Would Not Recommend

For a microwave intended to be placed over a cook top, you'd think GE would use something other than aluminum tape fornthe handle! After a few months the tape has bubbled and peeled and they do not sell a replacement handle. Cheap quality

Works great as well as looking gorgeous

We bought this a couple of weeks ago and love it. It works great and matches our other appliances. AND to top it off, we got a great deal on it as we took advantage of the sale they were having.
