Works great and great discount price.

Works great for us. Warms leftovers super quick and easy. Does popcorn fantastic. Pops almost all of the kernels.

This microwave oven is clearly one of the best I’ve ever had. There’s a feature that is essential if you have children, which is the lock on the door when it’s in use or when it is done, but the microwave does do it its job and keeps everything nice and warm or heat it very, very well to it. Boiling hot.

Repeat customer for this manufacturer.

So far so good. Unpacked it and there was no damage. Plugged it in and set the clock. Looks just like the old one that broke after three years. Fired it up to heat some leftovers and it came out steaming hot. As far as durability, I hope it lasts longer than the than the old one (different brand) that had the new inverter technology. Within three years it was obselete and the part(s) for it cost more than the microwave. Haven't tried any of the other cooking functions so I can't comment on that. I do have other GE appliances, induction cook top and Profile refrigerator. Both are over 15 years old. That is why I picked GE over the other brands.

Our products are designed with durability in mind, and we use high-quality materials to manufacture our appliances. We think you've picked an amazing model. We are a big fan of the cooking performance this model provides, especially with the 1,150 Watts of cooking power. This microwave delivers fast, even results for family favorites and everyday meals.

Great product, but more expensive than competitors

The item bought was found in a competitor place with $40.00 less than the price at Sam's, same capacity

Works well, but cosmetics make it a problem to use

Works well, but buttons are very hard to read. I bought this for my elderly mother and needed to put stickers on each of the buttons so she could use the unit.

No backlit control panel

The control panel is not backlit so it is very hard to see the numbers and controls.

We'd like to provide information about your microwave's control panel. Though the control panel is not backlit, we do design our control panels to have a high contrast of the background and the keypads. While this assists in the use of the controls, we recommend ensuring your microwave is in a well lit location. We will pass your feedback about the control panel not being backlit along to our product team for review.

GE MICROWAVE

The display on the screen is so dim I had to use a flashlight to see it. That's ridiculous. No way would I want to keep it

Cheaply built

Cheaply built, buzzes and rattles due to transformer vibration and no dampening on metal outside cover. Uses incandescent bulb in 2026. Very poorly made.

Don’t buy this microwave!!

Don’t waste your time with this GE microwave. This microwave didn’t last 6 months. It is cheaply made and was defective. It doesn’t even deserve a 1 star rating. This is the second one I have purchased since 2022. I’m done with GE and will be contacting Walmart for a refund.
