Great microwave but a couple of "issues"

I love this microwave, but there are a few things you should know. It is feature rich, more than I'll ever use, and it gives you prompts so that you don't have to keep looking up how to use a particular feature. Because it is not as tall as a regular over the stove microwave, it is deeper and protrudes about 6" beyond your adjacent cabinet fronts. This takes some getting use to. Because it protrudes 6" beyond the cabinet face, I have hit my head several times on the sharp corners when I am leaning over a pot on a front burner of the stove. Ouch! Because it is not as tall as a regular microwave, it limits what you can put in it - probably 5-1/2" tall max. The rotating glass plate sits above the bottom of the microwave. Some of the other brands, the glass plate is recessed into the bottom, which gives you a little more available height inside the microwave. You can turn off the plate rotation so that you can put a casserole dish in and it won't keep banging into the sides. I don't have external venting so I had to set it up to recirculate. The install directions were not clear on how to do this, but I guess I got it right because it's working well, much better than the over the stove range hood that this replaced.
Dead after 7 months of use. Wasted money. Very disappointed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We are very sorry to hear your microwave died after 7 months of use. This is not what we expect to hear and apologize for your inconvenience. Please take advantage of your one-year warranty and reach out to GE Consumer Service by calling 1-800-432-2737.
This fit above our cooktop wonderfully and was straight forward to install following the included templates and directions. The inner cabinet is a good size and the inner height is tall enough to accommodate most dishes we heat or reheat. The only loss for us is that the height is not enough to get a tall glass inside since we would use the microwave to break the ice off our margarita's that we store in the freezer. The front panel is organized well and I like that we can hit the numbers 1, 2, 3 etc and wait for a second and the microwave will start operating at that many minutes. Key strokes save time and make it simple. It warms up food in the expected amount of time, it's 1000 watts performance. The sound level is acceptable but sometimes it gives off a little buzz while it's operating. Not too annoying but you can hear it slightly. The twin LED lights illuminate the cooktop awesome. The fan moves a good amount of air although it doesn't capture all of the smoke sometimes. Overall a good purchase and especially good change for us since the previous microwave was a full size in the same space and interfered with using the cooktop.
So far extremely disappointed. I don't know if it's GE or the installer but I have NO BOOK about how to use my microwave. Can't set the time ont it. Can't get the display to light up. Extremey disappointed. How am I supposed to use it without the written directions. I do NOT do computer downloads. Hope they mail me teh book on how to use the microwave.

We can understand having a manual copy can be a lot easier. We no longer provide printed instructions in order to be better ambassadors of the environment, however, you can always find the Owner’s manual at this link here: https://products-salsify.geappliances.com/image/upload/s--jMzyWx2G--/iy4q9msmp3wrioifesvy.pdf

I bought this microwave in November and it has stopped working in April. That is why I am giving it a low score.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We hate to hear that your microwave stopped working after such a short time. This is not something we want or expect from our products, and we want to help. We recommend having this issue diagnosed by a qualified technician. You can schedule service by calling 1-800-432-2737 or by going to https://www.geappliances.com/ge/service-and-support/service.htm.
Was great until it quit 8 months after purchase. Am getting in touch with warranty people. But that cost a lot of money to go out in 8 months.
