I hadn't even used this microwave 2 months when the turntable started grinding and knocking. This is the reason I had to get rid of another microwave but that happened after I owned it for about 10 years. I really would like to have another microwave before this starts on fire or breaks down completely on

On the right front of the microwave appliance there are settings for time, cooking instructions, start, power levels, etc. My wife and I are unable to read them unless we use a flashlight -- they are too dim. We did not have this problem with the prior microwave. What can GE do to make them more legible? If nothing, we have no choice but to return the microwave because it is not useable. We should not have to continue to use a flashlight to operate the unit properly.

It worked fine for four months then began a loud grinding noise on the turntable whenever product was used and seemed very unsafe to continue using. Also had concerns that the item appeared flimsy when opening and closing door compared to my previous Panasonic which had lasted 6+ years.

I've had it now for about a week and so far no problems. I will have to get use to the control panel for it's different than the last one I had. This microwave is nice but need more time to tell if it's going to do as good or better.So for now I will give it 4 stars.

We bought the previous generation of this model 14 years ago. It worked perfectly all that time until experiencing sudden death. We're grateful GE is still making it because it fits perfectly into our space, and have been impressed with its reliability. It's compact but powerful. It reheats, cooks, defrosts exactly as desired every time. It's a countertop model we use as a “built-in”. They've added a child safety latch that we've disabled because it's not needed in our household, but it's a great feature for families with small children.

Standard three-prong, grounded wall plug that plugs straight in to the wall socket adds one to two inches to the depth measurement of the microwave oven. Suggest redesigning of the wall plug to the three-prong snub-nose type grounded plug to provide better fit of this microwave oven, closer to the wall or cubby-hole for counter top applications.

WORST PURCHASE OF ANY KIND I EVER MADE. DIED 3RD DAY AFTER MINIMAL USE HEATING FOOD A COUPLE OF TIMES FOR FIVE MINUTES MAX AT 50% POWER. HAD TO DESTROY PACKING CARTON IN PROCESS OF EXTRICATING THIS GE COUNTERTOP MICROWAVE UNIT. REPLACED 16 YEAR OLD SEARS KENMORE MICROWAVE, WHICH LASTED OVER 5800 DAYS. GE EXECUTIVES DESERVE TO BURN IN HELL FOR MANUFACTURING AND SELLING GARBAGE LIKE THIS!!!!!

CapacityGood for my use turn table works well. Love beverag setting hate limited useability of direct input to minute and not seconds if I am incorrect on this its the fault of a lousy users manual.it is the perfect size . wattage must be adequate caus it warms and cooks in a timely fashion

I like this model; however, this same one that I bought 2 years ago had to be replaced because the magnetron failed. I bought that one from the same company and they recommended that I buy a new one. I think that having to buy a new one every 2 years is excessive but I like the brand and how it functions so I am willing to give it another try.

With regard to all of the basics such as having capacity , heating, etc., this oven works just as it should and we have no complaints in that regard. But sadly it is not without some complaints. Unfortunately when we bought this they only had it in a box and ours had broken and we were in a hurry. First thing we encountered was the fact you might have to grab a flashlight or at least have a bright light in the room see your choices on the control panel! From what I read, it says it cost more to put a light in behind a display, but it may well be worth it because this is terrible i'm ready to throw this in the garbage simply because we can't see the display without bright lights on. And even then it's difficult. You would think they would at least make it with some contrasting colors in there. Secondly, the door shuts very hard. It's noisy. Irritating. I won't complain about the lock on the door because you can turn it off which I understand a lot, if not most, people do. But I still think it is a decent idea when there are children around. I just can't recommend this microwave. Granted my eyes aren't as young as they used to be but even our kids complain about not being able to see what they're doing on the microwave. I should have returned it at once but we just could not find another one and we needed it in a big hurry. This was not a good purchase and GE needs to really rethink their displays and look at them in people's houses and not just in bright Laboratories or warehouse areas. Do better GE! Buyers - if you cannot try all of the controls in the store, shop somewhere else. And yes, I should've taken my own advice first!
