Dim display

Had similar product for 20+ years. New product works great but the display lack of brightness on display is disappointing. TO look at it from a distance you cannot read the time This, if known beforehand , could have been a deciding factor in our purchases

Microwave control panels are not generally backlit, which means the lettering on the keypads does not light up and the control panel is not backlit. The lettering cannot be changed or made brighter. The control panel on a microwave is designed to have a high contrast of the background and the keypads. While this assists in the use of the controls, the microwave should be used in a well-lit location.

cannot see controls

Control buttons are almost unreadable unless you hold a flashlight up to them. The panel should be backlit. The door open and closing sounds like dropping a hubcap on the ground and a cheap feel. Other than that it heats food.

Disappointed because I need to find a repairman

I'm 82 and just received microwave yesterday. Inside light very dim and control panel does not light up. The clock works and is lit and all buttons beep, fan works and rotates and heats. Just can't see the buttons.

Good unit.

We bought the earlier product in April 2021. We just replaced basically with the same unit. however, the first replacement footings were broke and it wobbled. It took three trips to find another ibex we replaced due to rusting inside the unit and we noticed a hole in the rust on the top.

Beware: no mute feature

We bought this microwave as a replacement for an old GE microwave that had worn out. Maybe I should have checked first but I didn't realize that it lacks a mute feature! How is it possible in 2026 that GE sells new microwaves without the ability to mute the stupid annoying beep sound? That functionality can be implemented purely in software so it would cost them nothing. It's literally worse than the equivalent product from 15 years ago. GE is going backwards and letting their customers down.
