We purchased this microwave because our old microwave was starting to play out and the watts we wanted to be more. We are happy with this microwave so far it heats up our food evenly and it was the right size for our area. The cord has a flat end on it so you can put the unit closer to the wall if need be and not damage the cord at the plug. GE is a good brand and has been around many years. Hopefully this product will last us many years to come.

Replaces similar GE 900 Watt Turntable Microwave that finally stopped working. This is normal for microwaves. They have a life expectancy. Pro: Quieter, more efficient. At full power prepares a frozen singles meal in 6 minutes. Old one was 8 minutes. Makes a bowl of hot water similarly faster. More performance than just a 5-1/2% increase in wattage can account for. A chef friend says this will be due to a more efficient design. Con: The panel is now dark on dark. I like my house with subdued lighting including the kitchen. Takes a small flashlight to read the panel. I took a doubled up octagon shaped piece of typical blue painters tape and put it on the “6” button that I use most frequently. I can make it out in dim light and sense it by touch. Miss my well lit quick to read panel on the old unit, also. miss the louder finished signal. This one is barely audible from the adjoining room. Maybe a plus for some people but not me. Conclusion: I can adapt to the negatives all I care about is performance. The unit has some weight to it but if you are in shape at all it’s no problem. The door spring is more powerful and door is more closely fitted. Guiding the door closed with hand on top nipped my finger tips couple of times. Quickly learned the bottom of the door has a lip easily avoiding this. Different product, different techniques. Be sure to remove all the plastic wrap. It’s on there like a skin graft. Takes few minutes to peel it off. It’s so thin and transparent I missed the top and sides at first until I realized why no fan air felt was because the vents were still covered. There is more plastic shipping protection than the plastic bag. I was happy with the price for being a GE product. I avoid brands that have given trouble in their products lines for me in the past. Bad patterns repeat. Good patterns repeat. Last unit was good one expect same for this one.

I returned it, too many features missing, door would stick

Started to smoke less than a month from purchase

No enough power takes to long to warm up food

Got it home , set up and doesn’t work - says power failure- brand now microwave and already failed

This GE microwave is too noisy

Item was used, dirty, burned out and repackaged as new. Sam's worker couldnt care less.

It worked for a week and then it wasn’t heating anymore

I wish the number pad would light up.
