MICROWAVE IS NICE. DOOR SEEMS A LITTLE TINNY BUT OVERALL SEEMS WELL BUILT. CONTROL PANEL IS KIND OF HARD TO READ. HAS GOOD POWER COMPARED TO OLD ONE WE HAD FROM SEARS. HOPEFULLY IT WILL LAST AS LONG. HAD TO PUT RUBBER CIRCLES UNDER FEET TO KEEP IT FROM SLIDING ON SHELF WE HAVE IT ON SINCE IT SLIDES VERY EASILY.

Initial setup easy and works fine. This fits into a cabinet. The vents are primarily on the bottom. New feature for us: defrosting by specifying weight. Compared to similar 1.6 cubic ft Panasonic model, the interior is a little taller and a tad narrower, the power is about the same (1150w for GE and 1200w for the Panasonic), and the turntable is smaller (13.5" for GET and 15" for Panasonic). The white interior and bright interior light are superior to the grey interior and minimal LED light of the Panasonic.

Love this microwave, looks simple but classy and works well. However, the first one sterilized its final batch of baby bottles after about 6 years of use. We took a chance and bought another one because it matches our other appliances and we liked it other than that!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Please change your measurements on the description of the product and account for the feet at the bottom on the unit. This does not fit in a 12" built-in box because of those feet. We have a hard time with this appliance because of the low light on the panel. Is there any way to brighten the lights? We can barely see what time it is across the room.

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.

My previous microwave was over 20 years old. But it finally gave up the ghost and passed away. I had to have one fast. I researched so many brands my head was spinning. So many familiar brands have gone away, but when I saw the GE model, I felt I could trust it. It is definitely a powerhouse. So far I am very pleased , Its very new and we are getting used to it. But feels solid, the controls are easy to understand. And it will do the job. The only suggestion so far is I wish the illumination on the control panel was brighter and the key pad should be illuminated.

Dislike this unit. I’ve had microwaves before without the glass door fogging up between the glass panels. Was told by dealer was not normal, yet mfg says is fine. It is awful to clean because inside is not flat, it has pockets I guess you’d call it. Also when heating things up, the food cools down too quickly. When using my older microwave for 2 minutes for a cup of tea, it stays hot for awhile. This new model when heating tea for same time, cools down the tea much quicker. It’s odd I know but it’s true 🥴

This is the 2nd (identical) GE countertop microwave that we've had. Loved the previous one that was purchased during the pandemic and used it multiple times every day. Size, power, and features were perfect for our needs. Wish it had lasted longer than 4 1/2 years, but that seems to be the norm for so many appliances today. Luckily, with a sale, we paid the same price as before, which is amazing given the price increases on almost everything nowadays! Highly recommend.

Our 8 year old GE microwave failed last night. Searching for the old model number, this model showed up with similar features. Slightly deeper in size but fits in our cabinet fine. Controls are the same as the old unit but rearranged slightly. The only negative issue pertains to illumination. The panel display and the internal light are much dimmer.

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.
