EXHUAST FAN TOO LOUD

Extremely loud exhaust fan makes this microwave a complete failure! Understandable why it was so quickly taken off the market; how about a recall so that we can all get a better GE microwave?

Great buy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the best microwave I have owned. If I have a complaints it is that I've had to reduce the time I usually cooked foods as they cook so quickly in this microwave. Easy to clean. The vent works very well.

Great Microwave

I really like the look and features of this unit. I selected this model based on the excellent rating from a leading consumer magazine. Best value and performance for the price paid. One drawback is it is lower power rating than my previous GE counter top unit - 950 watt vs. 1100 watt. Longer cooking time required on most items but takes care of > 95% of my needs. Easily installed by myself and quieter than most over range microwaves (venting fan noise).

Loud! Light settings dont work. Does heat nice.

I have always stuck with GE, but this was a very disappointing purchase. The fan is extremely loud. Although there is supposed to be different light settings over the cooktop, the light output is the same at both settings and dim!! The door cracked and is still cracking from normal use and I take care when using it. It does heat food nicely though. But the cons outweigh that. Wish it could be returned.

Worse then the model I was replacing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this model to replace an earlier spacemaker model (JVM1540DN1WW). Not impressed. Installation was not what I expected. Instead of just taking the old model off and installing the new model, I had to remove the old mounting plate and drill new holes in the wall for the new one. This one only had to clips in the back to mount to unlike the older model that had four. On top of the unit, there were only two mounting holes (older model had three) and of course the new holes did not line up with the old ones, more drilling. This microwave is installed on an interior wall, thus I had to go with the non-vented ductless recirculating setup. Since my cabinets are not as deep as the microwave, it sticks out a little (same issue with the older model) which causes a problem. On the newer model, the area above the front vent is open and more air blows out through that then through the vents. Also, this model does not come with the charcoal filter. The area above the vents on the older model was completely enclosed. Other than a smaller plate inside and being able to take the front vent off to clean, I do not see any difference between the older and newer model. With that being said, it was quite a hassle just to replace a simple microwave.

This product has great features for the price

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this microwave to replace 4 year old (not a GE) that died. We use our microwave just to reheat so we were not looking for a lot of features. Only had it for a couple of days but LOVE all the features that we never had before. Love the design as well. We have other GE appliances that have lasted way longer than top of the line competitors. Hoping the microwave will last too.

Good product for the price

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had comparison shopped competitor models to replace a 10 year old GE over-the-range microwave and came back to this newer similar model for front venting, space, and controls and still best for our level of use. It has a lower wattage rating that the prior version, not a deterrent to its purchase, but just observation and hoping its performance is not impacted significantly. I already like the option of setting the time (the prior model required both time and date upon power outage), and straightforward single selection for operating times. The range lighting feature heats the glass turntable from below, however, and although this is not a safety concern yet, it does add to the unit's temperature (i.e. heating the food plus the added heat input from the light bulbs raises the concern the turning table glass may burn the user). This was not a concern in the prior model. Overall its installation, features, and performance for the cost is good+.

GE make wonderful applicances

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased this microwave about 2 months ago because the previous GE microwave door would not stay closed which was 12 years old. All our appliances are GE and we love them because they give you your money's worth.

Easy install and excellent features

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I finally broke down and purchased an over the range microwave for my house. The old one had stopped working more than 1 year ago. I was scared of the install I guess. Actually the install was easier than removing the old one.. I love the new microwave. I also like the fact it has a rack in the middle for larger dishes.. Makes my cooking a whole lot easier..Thanks, GE
