Bad featire. no handle.

Would have given 5 stars, Just love the GE microwave; however, there is one element we do not think is a good feature. The oven is lacking a handle and the push button throws the door forward disallowing anything to be in front of the oven! Not a good thing for sure. At present we are enjoying the micro. Thank you.

Broke in 15 mos

Bought in 6/2023 from Sam's and the plastic tab (?) behind the door release button just broke tonight (9/2024) after putting in a bag of popcorn. Ran out and bought another off of FB Marketplace but will be returning this for a replacement this week at Sam's - oh and now it's $20 cheaper than it was in 2023! Deflation!

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.

So Far so good

So my microwave just went, along with my fridge last week. Ugh!!! Planning on renovating soon (within the next couple of years) so was hoping everything would hold on till then, but you know what they say about the best-laid plans...Anywho, this appliance is a GE (so is our new fridge), blended in with everything else we had, great price, and the perfect size for our current needs. Now, all it has to do is defrost, reheat, and be reliable for a reasonable amount of time and we'll be in good shape. Since we just got it I won't be able to comment on the latter, but let's keep our fingers crossed shall we?

GE Microwave

I love my new GE microwave! It's sleek and attractive. Just the right size for my counter space. I prefer the push button to open rather than a door handle. The only thing I might change would be for the panel to light up. At night I have to turn on a light in order to see it. Otherwise, it's a very nice microwave and works well.

Does a fine job

We needed a small microwave to fit in the space that our old one occupied. This one fit perfectly. It does a good job and has additional features our old microwave didn’t have. If there is one thing I’d like to see added, it would be a light behind the control panel. The controls are hard to read unless you have a bright light on in the kitchen.

Awesome Microwave!!!

I work in a restaurant and someone had slammed the door so hard on the old microwave that we couldn't get it open. I found this one for a reasonable price and got it installed super quickly!!!! Then when we used it for the first time I was kinda glad the other got broken.... LOL this microwave works like a dream it's easy to use and doesn't take very long to get your food the temperature that you want!!!!

It fits and blends in

This microwave blends with the three other slate appliances we bought at the same time. It is smaller than our old one which had to placed on our counter top. It fits perfectly in the prebuilt microwave space that was built 30 years ago by our builder. I like that you just have to push one number for the number of minutes you want.

Great Features at a Great Price

Dear Gentlemen: I am very pleased with my new GE microwave oven. This stainless steel appliance compliments the entire kitchen. I have bought many appliances from GE because of their quality. I certainly expect many years of good service from my appliance. Best Regards, Robert

Ok but could be improved !!

I just recently purchased this Microwave . My first GE counter top microwave lasted 18 years and was still running , but was getting cracks on the inside so I was not sure it was still safe . I replaced it with a GE that only lasted 11 months and started giving off an electrical burning smell . So I purchased this one . So far I like it except for the control panel . It is black and you can not see the options without a struggle . So I gave it four stars . If they would back light it , it would help tremendously. I am very disappointed in that . You would think when they manufactured it they would have done that . I would have preferred white but that was not an option !!! Another disappointment. I hope the company reads these comments and acts on these issues . I may not purchase another GE . Thank you !
