Great microwave.

We have been very happy with this microwave. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the control touch pad is not lite up. It’s light weight and has a large interior. It works really well.
We find the directions hard to use especially the reheating factor we can't figure it out

We'd like to help you with the Reheat mode of your microwave. For this model there isn’t a reheating factor to calculate because the microwave’s sensor determines the reheating time automatically. Simply place 8 to 24 ounces of covered, previously cooked food inside, press Reheat, then Start. When it’s finished, stir the food. If it isn’t hot enough, use Cook Time rather than pressing Reheat again. You can find more information in page 15 of the owner's manual here: https://images.salsify.com/image/upload/s--KOF4ljos--/b09fe4ab739336a20d0989c6765d8699b861f4b0.pdf.
Except for the noise, I really love it, Easy for my grandson who is nine to warm up his food. Does the control panel lights up. Can not see unless light are turned on, even during the day.
Bought this unit to replace GCST20S1W1SS which died recently. It was a total piece of junk, so loud it would wake up the dead. Got it as a gift. This unit is MUCH quieter, very quiet in fact so that is good. Hope it lasts longer than the last one. Here's hoping.
Just got this microwave today and it seems to be a good unit. The main reason for the review is to let all of you know that are looking for a trim kit for it, there's a kit for this Whirlpool microwave (WMC50522H) that works perfectly with this GE unit. I don't know the model number of the trim kit because it was around the Whirlpool unit that I replaced and I did not purchase it. I had a hunch since both units were 2.2 cu ft, the fit would be pretty close, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that the bottoms of these two microwave ovens were just about identical, down to the mounting screw hole placement and labeling. If you're looking for or needing a trim kit for this GE unit, just search for the trim kit for the Whirlpool listed above.
The only thing is that it is very disappointing that the color of the interior is way too dark plus the light is not bright enough to see the contents of the oven.
I would recommend this to a friend!
