Nice microwave.

Nice, compact microwave. Allows more room above the stove then the standard size. The over the oven vent fan is much, much more powerful than the standard ... very nice. The only problem is that you might be annoyed by is how far the microwave door swings out when opened (you have to take a step back to avoid it hitting you).
Pleased with the low profile, earlier microwave too high, not even to code. This one corrected that. The led light underneath, illuminating our stove top is intense enough, a problem with prior microwave. And the light inside is better (I'd be glad for another toward the right side.) The "add 30 seconds" with serial presses of "start" is terrific. Really like that.
We picked out this microwave from a picture in the appliance store where we bought our appliances for our home that is being built. The store didn't have one to show us in person. It was installed recently and it sticks out way too far. We measured it and it is 4 inches deeper than the standard GE microwave we have in our rental. It will be in the way when trying to see into pots on the back burners. I am surprised that no one else has mentioned this in these reviews. The other thing, which others have mentioned, is the door is very long and seems to be crooked. We have not used the microwave, so we cannot comment on the features, noise etc. We were excited for the slimmer height, so the microwave wasn't so noticeable, but apparently they compensated for the slimmer height with the depth. For us, it isn't worth it. We are tall people and want to be able to see the back burners without obstruction. We will return it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for taking the time to provide some feedback on your washer. We will pass your comments on the dimensions along to our product team to review.
Looks great, works great. Could have used some more instructions in the box on how to cook various items, but guess it is on-line. Tall coffee cups fit, but you need to be careful when putting them in and taking them out. I would agree with others that the clock time is a bit bright but doubles as a night light.
This microwave is amazing. I wish we would have switched to a slim microwave years ago. I love the additional space above the stove. The microwave works amazing and has many useful features. I like that I can still fit a tall coffee cup in it. It does seem to stick out a few inches more than our old traditional above the stove microwave, but that is a small price to pay for the slim design.
