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.

Nice Microwave with a lot of power

What a great looking little work horse. This micro cooks food fast. You really get a lot of bang for the buck. The material seems pretty durable so far ( I have the item for one month at the time of this review) and it's metal and glass not plastic. Love that there is an indicator beep to remind you that there is something in the microwave. I'm very happy with the purchase.

perfect replacement for Frigidaire ffmo 1611ls

I was looking for fixing or buying a new one to replace my 8-years old Frigidaire ffm 1611ls built-in microwave oven, which is not heating and broken recently. After a lot of looking up and studying, I am realize I might have to buy the original model in order to reuse the trim kit, which costs almost around 60% of microwave oven price. Repairing the broken one cost almost ~70% of new one price, which is also not good deal. I could not find any new built=in models that has the size matching the existing trim kit size until I look into this GCST16S1W1SS model from GE, which has competitive price and exact the same dimension I need. It fits existing trim perfect and works just fine!!! Thanks for compatible design!

Happy to have found this microwave

I have had this microwave only a few days, but so far am very happy with my purchase. I was looking for a white microwave from a reputable company, which was neither too small or too large. It is the perfect size for my countertop, has simple controls, looks very nice and cooks quickly and thoroughly. Not as loud as my old one, which is also a positive. I look forward to many years of service from this microwave.

Accessibility

This is a typical workhorse small appliance that meets our needs. We mainly use the microwave to reheat leftovers, thaw food occasionally and steam vegetables. My only difficulty is reading the instruction sticker inside the door that describes the function of the sensor settings. I need a magnifying glass to decipher the text.

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 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.

Great value and sensing features

This microwave is a great value for the price! We were very impressed with it's sensor abilities, such as sensing we had not yet removed the protective film and sensing that food was not inserted into the microwave. It's so simple to use that my kids were able to figure it out without much help.

It works fine

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this microwave to replace one that is built in to a cabinet so needed the same dimensions. It works just fine, just seems cheaper than my old ge unit. The display is very dim and keypad seems thin and wavy. I’m just tired of the fact that almost everything I purchase lately seems to be of a lesser quality than the unit you’re replacing.
