I love this microwave however it is so dark inside and the outside control panel you cannot see without the light on. You cannot see your food cooking and/or boiling etc. The amber light is very dim and does not help being on when the microwave is running.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fits oversized cookware and large dishes easily. I love the handle-style door. Controls are straightforward and intuitive. 1100 watts of power.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love our GE Microwave. Easy to operate , cooking options super, great popcorn setting, love the warm feature. Pricing super. Child lock a plus but my children are grow. Capacity fits a dinner plate easily. Fits well in the microwave slot in my cabinet. Just what we are looking for - Thank you GE -
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great Microwave Oven. We've been warming up leftover Thanksgiving meals and the reheat feature is outstanding!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The three biggest features this has are:
(1) A handle to open the door with. The push button door openers always seem fickle, if not durable.
(2) The unit's weight.and foot construction is such that the unit does not slide around on the counter top when you are pressiong buttons or opening an closing doors. I didn't have to juryrig something to keep this from moving around when opening the doors like I did on the push-button open models.
(3) Further, in regards to the push button feature on the other units, they have now become ridiculous to use and enjoy. Microwave now come with "added Safety Features" to prevent children from doing whatever children have discovered to do with a microwave. We started with another brand that was on sale. However, that unit required pushing two buttons to open it. Anyone with arthritis or who are even a little challenged with coordination is NOT going to like that over-though "safety" feature. It was simply not well designed. This unit simply locks the door while under power and you have to push the open door button when reaching for the handle. It is really not an imposition. I like this design much better. I understand that ALL manufacuturers have had to move to a higher level of idiot proofing use of the appliance. Like comedian Ron Green says, "You can't fix stupid!"
So in some regards writing a review within the first few days seems premature. However, I will say that I am impressed with the unit so far. Getting used to a few features will always be an issue, but this one seems have designed in practical, if not easy to use features. I like it.

I would recommend this to a friend!
