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.

This GE is virtually identical to a GE Microwave I bought over 20 year ago and that is why I bought it. My 20 year old finally bit the dust, no power. I was used to the way the buttons worked and was pleased to see newer models are virtually identical. Plus I was impressed that an appliance I used daily lasted 20 years, so I believe GE earned the right for a second purchase and I hope I get another 20 years.

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.

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

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.

East to setup and use. Much better than 12 year old MW I replaced.

It does exactly what it says it does.

So far the microwave has performed as expected. Our old microwave lasted a long time. I hope this one stands up to time as well as the old one did.

I have been so impressed with this microwave. The food is evenly heated every time! The food does NOT taste "microwaved". We are very pleased with this purchase!

This is my second one same exact one hope it lasts longer.my first one caught fire the bottom of microwave paint peeled exposing metal then one day it wouldn't shut off. Love how easy to operate . I smelled wires burning and had to get rid of!!!!
