Great features. Stainless steel looks good.

Having 6 people living in our house, we use our microwaves a fair amount. I wouldn't say OVER using, just basic heating, or reheating. Also, it is well maintained, cleaned (when necessary) & taken care of.
However, we are now on our 3rd GE microwave within the past 24 months. They just stopped heating/working?

I really enjoy using the microwave, except for remembering to set the cook time button before I put in the time I want.

Lifeline less than 2 years

I bought this microwave on April 19, 2023. It died on March 24, 2025. Not even 2 years. I am the only person in the household so it was used daily mainly to reheat coffee and occasional frozen dinners. GE used to be trustworthy but that is no longer the case.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The controls are a little difficult to press; otherwise, I am very pleased with this unit.

Controls appearance detracts

Product seems well designed, but the writing on the controls is not bright enough for ease of use.

Died in under 4 months

Rating this 2 stars due to it going out in less than 4 months. We bought it just under 6 months ago.
It had good reviews so we bought this microwave, one reason I am giving it 2 stars instead of one.
It was a custom install as the kitchen was being redone. We have been in our house right at 4 months now.
It just stopped working due to no power earlier this week. We tried moving it to another location and double checked the power line it was on. Nothing has worked yet. I will see how the warranty makes out.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Easy to use, great features and plenty of power!
on April 27, 2025

I purchased this GE microwave several years ago and it has been exactly what I needed. The settings for quick cooking like popcorn and potatoes actually works and cooks items exactly right. It has lots of good features, great power and is very easy to use! I unfortunately purchased a different brand for our vacation home and paid more because it had great reviews which as it turns out I would not give it. I wish I had purchased this wonderful GE microwave like the one I have in my primary home. I will swap it out as soon as I can afford to make the switch! Lesson learned!!
I would recommend this to a friend!
