Nice Appliance

Good product at a good price. Easy install with great installation instructions.

Great features

Great product for its price I highly recommend buying this.

Great for Senior citizens

Large print & push buttons make it easy to operate. Can even see without my reading glasses!!However, the turntable is off-centered; swipes the door, ever so slightly, just enough that I turn it off. Food doesn't always good evenly.

Great rental property appliance

Great value for rental property. Replaced an 18 year old GE with this one

Great looking and nice features.

Great choice for above a gas stove. The ventilation works well and the microwave hasn't given me any issues. I would buy again.

Perfect microwave

The GE microwave is bright and beautiful in the kitchen. The lights underneath and inside are perfect. It is quicker than our old microwave. I like the carousel and timer beep.

Don’t trust the mounting template!!!

It’s a budget friendly microwave. As I just installed it, I have to admit I have no reason not to expect basic function. My big gripe is the top cabinet template. Carefully following the instructions both on the template as well as in the installation manual, the holes I drilled were several inches away from the screw holes in the unit. I did multiple measurements and now have a cabinet that resembles Swiss cheese, but I got it installed no thanks to the enclosed template and instructions.

New Microwave

We really like the Over the Range Microwave. And since our previous Microwave was also a GE, we were very familiar with all the controls that we like.

Plastic over control panel is buckling

This unit was installed a month ago (02/20/2024). So far it works well but I noticed last night that the plastic over the control panel buttons is buckling & getting wrinkles. The unit is used by one person, & rarely used for anything other than warming a cup of coffee. (I guess that explains why it's happening on the "Cook Time" & "Add 30 Sec" buttons.) I am not hard on things & take care of my property. This is very disappointing. It already looks worse than the 2002 GE Profile it replaced.

Excellent attractive microwave

We are so happy to have this beautiful microwave that matches our other appliances in our kitchen. I've only had it a couple days but it's been performing beautifully and handles everything that we need to do. I've always trusted GE Appliances and will do so in the future also. Thank you GE. Don't look any further get this brand and model.

Our over the range microwave went bad so we replaced it with the same model since we liked it so much!

Microwave not heating.

Microwave stopped working not that long after we bought our house. Microwave says October 2021 when it was manufactured. The microwave stopped heating 2 years after it was manufactured. I took it apart and ended up being the magnetron being cracked. I replaced the magnetron and 3 months later the same thing happened again. I’ve seen many reviews with this microwave working and not heating. I believe this microwave has a problem with the magnetron cracking.

Looks and works great! Just lacks a premium feel.

We purchased this microwave to replace our previous GE model from 2006 which finally died and was deemed to be not worth repairing. It has only been 10 days since installation but our new microwave works great so far!PROS:- Stainless Steel exterior looks sleek and modern- Seems to heat food quicker than our previous microwave (which was also 1000w)- Installation and setup was straightforward and the included templates were helpful CONS:- Feels cheaply built compared to our 2006 GE model (seems to be a common trend with many newer consumer goods).- Buttons feel especially cheapy with an unsatisfying squishiness and noticeable delay compared to other microwaves I've owned.- The display is very basic and all features in general seem to have been minimalized as much as possible.- The stovetop light is probably my biggest complaint. There is only one, not centered bulb instead of two sockets at each end like our previous microwave had. And it's not even an LED bulb! Instead it's halogen and it puts off so much heat that I would feel uncomfortable leaving it on all the time as I did with our last one. It does seem like compatible LED bulbs do exist so I will be ordering those soon.These complaints are mostly just minor annoyances and probably on par with other microwaves in this price range. The true test will be seeing if this one lasts for anywhere near 18 years as our previous one did. If you're looking for a microwave that looks nice and should match pretty much any kitchen, this seems like a good option; especially if you find it on sale!

Express cook

I’d like to mention first off it’s beautiful to look at nice and white and clean. I like the options that you can make popcorn or do a cook of potato easy to figure out how it runs. Thank you.

Great features

It works perfectly good and it's great to have it.

Love it!!

Beautiful microwave, very spacious, does an excellent job heating and I like the controls as well. Much prefer this handle door to a push button opening as well.

by

Perfect in every way!

We love our new microwave! It fits over my stove perfectly. It works great. It's just a simple to understand product,,,no fancy technology. And its sleek and good looking too!

by

Nice upgrade for the $$.

Loving this new GE over range microwave. Has few added feature from my last microwave which had 21 yrs. Only replaced because door was cracked. Hopefully this one will last that long.

GE sucks

Terrible microwave. We've has our 3 years and we have to close the door over and over until it finally stops acting up so we can use it. It wont even turn on. It thinks the door is always open even when its closed. I just spent 20 mims trying to warm my coffee with this terrible microwave. We're going to replace it with a different brand. GE stuff sucks. Dont buy it. Our fridge is going out too. I regret buyi.g GE. It's junk. I had a microwave my entire childhood that never went out. Ge doesn't last 3 years. Choose something else.
