not user friendly

We found the controls not user friendly. There were too many steps to accomplish the simplest tasks. For example if you press 20 sec to heat something it gives you a food message. I think you then have to choose power level then start. Too many steps for every action.

Love our new GE microwave!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We've had this microwave less than a month, but so far we love it. The size is perfect, even for large items. It heats much faster than our old microwave. The controls are intuitive, and we easily disabled the child lock function (we have no kids around), which made it even easier to use. The only negative I can think of is the time display is a bit dim, but we can live with that!

Great features

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fits our need for normal functioning microwave. Like the quick-add 30-second button. We live in a microwave age, so the one-button feature is a win! The popcorn button is not long enough to pop all the kernels. We ended up always entering our own 3 minute time and keeping an eye on it.

Can't see inside microwave

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The light is way to dim so you can't see what is happening with your food. As everyone knows, we want to see if it's boiling, etc. GE says they have gotten this complaint a lot, but there is no fix for it. Can't replace bulb. Otherwise I LOVE everything else. Come on engineers - How did you make that poor decision?

Nice looking!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have only had the microwave oven for a short time and we are still adapting to the control panel. As others have said the panel is a little dark and harder to see at night but we are going to be placing a light closer to it. The oven is nice looking and matches our new kitchen appliances. Hopefully this microwave oven will last as long as our old one.

Great Microwave

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We recently switched from an over the range to a counter top microwave and so far we love it. It’s a fantastic size for a counter top option. I love the slate color. Easy to clean. Easy to use. The child safety features are wonderful for our family with multiple small children learning how to use these appliances. So far we are very happy with our purchase.

GE makes a Great Microwave!

This is the perfect microwave for my kitchen the dimensions, controls, wattage, capacity and power is exactly what I needed. I love the fingerprint-less feature! That's a great selling point for all of us! GE is my favorite brand and I only purchase GE products.

Too Technical

Too ‘Technical’. No simple way of heating manually

We know there is an adjustment period with a new appliance, so we created a Use and Care Manual that details all the features, settings, and options provided with your new microwave. Your Use and Care Manual can be found here: https://images.salsify.com/image/upload/s--GQhCt7ID--/81ec727e5ff1738e1b16475b63e0d43f405b4272.pdf. If you have any specific questions about your microwave, let us know.

Congratulations on your new microwave! We're happy to hear it's working well. This unit is simple to use and gets the job done. We're pretty fond of the Control Lockout feature, which lets you lock the control panel to prevent accidental use or activation by children. We hope you will enjoy your appliance for many years to come!
