Nice Microwave Replacement for Built-in
I was in the market to replace an existing old built-in microwave. This one fit into the opening and had the features I was looking for. After using it for awhile, it has been working well. The power is more than capable & stronger than our old one. The child lock feature was easy to disable as we have no children in the household. The latch seems fairly robust but I still open/close it gently. The panel buttons are not quite as touch sensitive as I’d like though. It takes a harder push to engage them as opposed to a touch screen. I suppose it’s a safety feature to prevent accidentally turning it on. Overall, it’s been working well so far & we’re happy with it.

Broken
It’s a beautiful looking microwave and that’s all it has going for it, I expected better from GE. I also should have read the reviews like I usually do here and on other sites. I forgot it does have the push button to open, it has that going for it also. I don’t like all the functions on it though, too many. It’s not easy to use for the average person. I’m more old school. Punch in the minutes or hit the add minute button multiple times, hit start and you’re good to go. The inside is roomy enough and it’ll fit my dinner plates. I didn’t like that the inside light seemed dim. Oh, one other thing I liked, this microwave is super quiet, I was almost scared. The power was perfect but after the first use the top of the microwave was really really hot. That was concerning so later on I got out something else to microwave to test it again. (By the way if you have no food in it, it will not start) This time I heard the worst loud noise coming from inside and I quit. Came back later, checked the turntable was set right. Here we go again, there’s that awful noise and it was internal somewhere, not the turntable. That’s when I started my research. As far as the value for your money…not worth it. You’re taking a chance it’s going to break down at some point soon and if it’s broke when you get it, just the repacking and lifting is a killer.

Powerful with a couple minor flaws.
Works pretty well. Nice size. The only bad designs are that the start button doesn’t automatically add 30 seconds to get you going, and the carousel isn’t recessed into the floor a little bit. This results in bonking nice cups against the glass carousel which is not ideal by any means. Outside of that, it works pretty darn well – super powerful – plan on cooking stuff at about twice the pace as usual. Easy to burn young fingers so be careful.

Apperars to be well made and works as expected I think this was a good choise only time will tell
Arrived in good condition despite the appearance of the shipping box which was crunched and gouged. The microwave works as expected the control panel is mostly logical and easy to use. Has a reminder chime if you forget to remove the food it pings once a minute or so. I considered many ovens offered read a hundred Amazon product reviews the good, the bad and the ugly. Very difficult to decide. Ratings with a large review count never went beyond 70% good. So I focused on the nature of the pros and cons particularly how bad the fails were disregarding the nit picky and made my own sore card. In the end the GE appeared to offer an acceptable price, the desired specs with the lowest risk of getting a lemon and. But I confess it was also in part a guess.
