We've only had this microwave two days. It's probably not long enough to really have put it to the test. We love the appearance. The first thing we did was to disable the child lock (very annoying). So far it works awesome, getting food hot all the way thru in a reasonable time. I wish the clock display was a little brighter, but I'll get used to it.

The first one we bought stopped working after two uses. We bought the "black stainless"but it didn't match our other black stainless appliance from GE...it was more of a silver color. It wasn't near my other appliances, so it wasn't a big deal. But when it stopped working, we returned it and purchased the same microwave in black. This one is working fine, but it has an odd sound for the first few seconds and it really runs loud. Just wondering how long this one will last?!?! If it gives trouble, I will not buy GE again.

Fantastic size, this is my 2nd one. However, the only thing frustrating factor is that this new model has a very light digital clock and I can't read it across my kitchen as I could with my original model. All the functions are easy and great! Would buy it again...and I have!

This fast and powerful microwave replaces a similar model from probably 10-15 years ago (latch and power control was faulty)! I am happy with the design and simplicity of use. The magnetized side is useful for hanging things I need to have handy but I wish it was more textured because the magnets slide). I use it on a counter height table which makes it a bit hard to read the button labels which are way below eye level. I will probably add a red dot so I can easily differentiate the power ON and OFF buttons.

I had to replace my Panasonic Gemini microwave for a larger pocket space and the GE dimensions were the best available for that space, and much to my delight the upgraded features are very helpful. The power levels are higher than the replaced model so there is a learning curve to adjust to. Love the controls and the handsome design. The performance is especially good for corn on the cob.

The child lock is another step to do and for households without kids... it's really unnecessary. It should be quick in and out. No more other buttons to press. It's hard for those with vision problems. I don't like the loud sound when I close the door of the microwave. I feel I can't use it when people are sleeping.

This is our 3rd GE Microwave over ~25 years ... we use our MW a lot & found that this model is not only perfect size, but has desired power (1100w) & convenience/functionality that we like. With our heavy usage (e.g.,warming cup of coffee, reheating meals, cooking vegetables, etc.), we chose to again replace our last unit with the same model/size/wattage. They usually last 7-10 years, so it's a good buy with all the functionality we need, in a familiar & convenient design. Plus it was on sale, so great price also.

I have had an over the range microwave for years, which I have not liked. Too difficult to reach up to remove things from the unit. Finally, I got a new countertop microwave and I love it! I has several special choices such as 'beverage' that automatically heats water to just the right temperature for hot tea. Easy to use and cooks everything just right.

Cons: Door is loud when closing. While child safety feature of having to press an additional button before being able to open the door is great for families with children, it’s a pain for those of us that do not have any children. Pros: Heats up better than the previous microwave. So it’s powerful. It’s quiet; not noisy like the previous microwave. The capacity is perfect for my needs. The design is modern. The controls are easy to use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far, so good. Replacing an 18 year old (2007) GE microwave with a new one due to a rust hole in the back wall of the oven. Just hoping to have the same experience (without the rust). Too early for a review. The old one would get 5 stars.
