Excellent Microwave

Love the sleek look and the wattage is amazing! It occasionally does weird stuff instead of just hitting the 2 button for a 2 minute warm up, it will ask us a question about the food and not let us continue. We are able to somehow get it back to the quick buttons somehow.

HORRIBLE PIECE OF JUNK

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!!!!!

We're sorry to hear about your microwave not heating. We'd like to help. We recommend trying a quick electronic reset, which can be done by unplugging the power cord for 2-3 minutes, then plugging it back in. If the reset didn't provide helpful, we recommend checking into the warranty for your unit here: https://products-salsify.geappliances.com/image/upload/s--pREJMhtl--/cueudkclo4lkb6pfw8mf.pdf?

Nice Microwave

It seems well made, for example the door button and door hinges seem sturdy unlike other brands we considered. My only gripe is the keypad fonts are gray on a black background, not offering much contrast, so hard to see in low light. These fonts would be better if they were white.

We will pass your feedback on about the grey font on the control pad along to our product team for review.

Great appliance

Purchased a he microwave in January 2010 when we moved into our new home. First the light went out after 8 years. Then the turntable would work properly while heating and stop turning when done. Open the door and turntable would start turning! Still heating properly so no big deal. Then last week I had to bump the door upwards for the latch to open it! 16 years! Still heats! Replaced with as near identical oven as I could. Thank you for making a great appliance! Hope this new one measures up to the previous!!!

Awesome microwave!!

So much better than my last microwave! Less wattage, but seems like it cooks faster. Smaller capacity than my old one, but it's perfect! Foods defrost perfectly on the defrost cycle too!

We're big fans of this unit, especially since it offers amazing cooking performance and convenient features. Our favorite feature is the versatile power levels, which offer adjustments ranging from quick high-heat for veggies and beverages to gentle low-heat for defrosting and delicate sauces.

Unilluminated Control Panel / Hard to read

Unilluminated, dark colored fonts/numbers on the black background control panel makes it very difficul to read and operate the unit. Too bad I missed all of the similar negative comments this product has received here. GE could have done better.

Well satisfied!

Affordable, good size and power. Previous exact model lasted 8-10 years. Like new open safety feature , doorlock for preventing accidental spills/burns

Thank you for your loyalty to our brand! We’re big fans of this microwave, and we’re so glad to hear you appreciate the size, power level, and the two-step lock that helps to prevent accidents and unintended use by younger family members. Another feature we really appreciate is the sensor cooking controls. The microwave monitors moisture as food cooks when sensor cooking is used, automatically adjusting the cooking time as needed, to ensure you always get delicious results! We’re confident the microwave will serve your needs well for many years to come, just as your previous microwave did. Enjoy!

Hard to read settings

Nice microwave. My only complaint is the control panel: it is so dark we literally need to get a flashlight to read the settings!

Microwave control panels are not generally backlit, which means the lettering on the keypads does not light up and the control panel is not backlit. The lettering cannot be changed or made brighter. The control panel on your unit is designed to have a high contrast of the background and the keypads. While this assists in the use of the controls, the microwave should be used in a well-lit location.
