Great Microwave Oven for the price.

Functionality: We are very happy with this microwave oven and all the features. Our last GE microwave oven lasted over 10 years and was great. I think this oven will be just what we need to fill our needs of a microwave oven. Capacity is just the right size for our needs. Controls are great and all that we need. Dimensions fit the space that we need. Power is just the right wattage for our needs.

Love it

This model replaced an 8 year old version that died suddenly. This appears to be much the same - which is great because we loved the old one. We use the oven just about every day for streaming fresh veggies, melting butter, and warming up leftovers. The auto features work like magic.

Sturdy microwave GCST16S1W1SS

Purchased this s GE 1.6 cu ft microwave to replace our Sharp 1.8 cu ft unit. Unfortunately, GE didn’t have a 1.8 sized unit available to fit our existing built-in cabinet cavity. Appears to be a sturdy & hopefully durable machine. However, the LED display isn’t as bright as our other kitchen appliances with LED displays. Very dim, especially at night time.

I bought another GE

I am giving GE a 3 because I have only this product a day and you are already asking me to review it. I am also giving GE a 3 because their last microwave which was model#JES1657DM1WW was installed on 7/1/20 and it lasted until 2/14/25 where it had an electrical problem which caused it to start on its own when it was plugged in. I'm not sure what the average life of a microwave is today but I am not impressed.

Smooth sleek appearance

Very slick appearance and fits great in our cutout shelf for microwave. All functions, including the sensor cook mode have worked as described.. The back light is a bit dim as noted in other reviews but that does not bother me at all. I disabled the child lock as it is located out of childs reach . I prefer the push button door open feature of this microwave instead of the pull handle door like some others. Our last microwave was a Samsung which lasted exactly 5 years. Hopefully this one will last longer!

Replacement for GE Cafe model

Bought this Profile model microwave to replace a GE Cafe microwave/convection oven that has had it's keypad go out twice in 5 years. Good news is that this model fits into my built in spot using the same trim and mounting parts. Hopefully, the keypad on this model will last longer that the one on the GE Cafe.

Satisfied with purcase so far now the test of time

Seems to be well built and looks nice gives me hope it will give good service time will tell. The control panel design is good I do wish it had a backlight for low light use. The chime is good not to loud or soft and pleasant. Seems to produce heating power in line with the specs with what appears to be even heating. I will test the power output with a a bowl of water and temperature measurements a simple physics experiment. One small issue the plastic feet slide on a smooth counter top these should be a rubber material.

Great Microwave

I like the sleekness of the design as it allows for a large interior cooking space without a large outer exterior. This is the largest interior we found with the smallest exterior so that it would fit in the space that we needed. There are a lot of settings that are useful. When cooking, the sound emitted is minimal.

Great Basic Microwave

This GE countertop microwave is an identical replacement for the Whirlpool model WMC30516HZ microwave which has been discontinued. Even the trim kits are identical including all the mounting hardware. The only difference is the GE is shinier than the Whirlpool. The GE trim kit is also shinier and matches the microwave perfectly. The reason for the 4 star rating is that the Whirlpool unit was extremely easy to use and worked great but only lasted 3 1/2 years. I suspect that we will not see much longer use from the GE model.

Great Product

We've only used it for a few weeks now, but so far it's been great. So much quieter than the other one we purchased last year that literally sound like a 737 taking off since the day we purchased it, then started make noises that sounded like someone was inside trying to beat their way out of it.
