Great Microwave For the Price

This is a great little Microwave. We use it mostly for heating up food and water but we do cook in it and it gets the job done which we are very happy with. We were hesitate at first to make the purchase only because the price was lower than other brands of microwaves.

Not good

It went bad in 11 months first it made horrible noises after the first month but still worked now the door is hard to open I think it's absolute junk it's still under warranty for a few days but you need to take it to a warranty center they won't just replace it

Really good Microwave

I'm happy with my purchase. It heats the food evenly and at 950 watts it's not bad, power wise. My only complaint is the control pad is really hard to see. If GE would add backlighting to the panel it would be perfect. I'm happy with my purchase and would buy it again.

Great features and design!

I love this mocrowave! Not only is it a prefect size for countertop, the design is very pleasant without being too trendy. The microwave capabilities are more than expected and easy to utilize. My purchase also included a microwave pasta cooker which is pretty awesome! Thank you GE!

Smaller than my old klunker

I am very happy with my GE microwave. I bought this microwave to replace a 15+ year old one. This new one is smaller, quieter, and it has the same interior size. There maybe a few less buttons and the wattage maybe lightly less but this one provides the options I need.

Control Button Names Are Not Readable

This microwave has all of the features I need, which is wonderful, it is too bad that the controls are dark dark gray on black so I can't see all of the wonderful controls to use them. I have to keep a flashlight by the microwave in order to use it to read the control buttons for reheating or cooking anything.

Train staff on how to locate items in store!

I needed a microwave and looked at this GE from the SAM's online store. It went on sale so went to the store to get it. The aisle had no GE brand but the online store said they had it at that location. I asked 2 people working there. One went to the aisle, stared at the shelf then walked away without a word. The other told me to go the customer service counter or buy it online and come back to pick it up the next day. Disappointed I checked out and as I was walking to the exit I saw a lot of the GE boxes at the entrance of the store! I made a u-turn, picked up one and bought it. Sam's Club, please show your staff how to locate items in the store. The product itself is great. Well packaged (take off the blue plastic before using), nice looking stainless steel, easy to use, basic functional pad. I like my new oven but took away a star because of the customer service.

Questionable

Extremely loud when on. I noticed in some reviews AFTER i purchased the 2nd one, this was common. This is the 2nd one in 7 months, thought I would give it another try. The first one had the back wall paint peel off,but was quiet. If this one has paint peel, I'm done with GE.

Wish I could see the controls

Bought this to replace another GE microwave that finally passed on to the 'ether'. Very pleased with the overall appearance, but not quite as happy with the lower power level (950 watts vs 1100 watts for the original), but my biggest 'gripe' is that the controls are almost impossible to see without a flashlight. Would be most beneficial if those controls were either backlit, or somehow more visible. Makes this new product very difficult to use in a 'low-light' area. Microwave itself work fine, but not being able to see the controls in a low-light environment is a huge 'negative' compared to my old model.

Half the battle - removing stubborn stickers

Half the frustration with this GE Microvoe is opening this microwave to get it ready. Getting all the protective covers off is not really an issue, but there is a smaller rectangular sticker over the touch pad area (and the touchpad is a soft plastic) that refuses to come off. Don't use a razor blade because it will cut into and gouge the soft plastic, and other chemical removers don't seem to work. As a result, what little you can get off still leaves the bottom layer of the sticker and it looks horrible. Additionally, this microwave has an automatic lock feature which becomes frustrating to unlock. Like any Microwave, you have to get accustomed to a new way of doing things. So you have to get reacquainted with this smaller model. We're getting a new kitchen and our gourmet frigidaire wall mounted microwave is being removed, and in its place will be a commercial quality vent motor with designer cover. This leaves us with this smaller GE microwave that will be used on top of a counter. The positive is that it's a very quiet microwave, and you have to look to see that it's actually working, which is a good thing. All in all, between the removal of all the stickers and coverings - not to mention, this microwave is not intuitive, we can only give it 3 stars. But hey, it didn't cost an arm and a leg, so we'll make do with it.

We'd like to assist you with your microwave. It is normal for the unit to have plastic film on the door.
