Worked fine while it worked. Had for just over 2 years and after a power outage it was gone. Waste of money. Really only used it a couple of times a week, if that. Disappointed. Definitely not any fuses as we tested them and outlet is fine. Will cost more to have someone look at it than it will to replace

While we understand the importance of an appliance operating for a long period of time, it is not possible to determine the product failure rate, lifespan, life expectancy, or life cycle of an appliance. There are multiple variables involved such as frequency of use, type of use, location of appliance, care, and maintenance.
We only had the microwave installed today but have used it a few times. The PVM9179SR1SS controls were easy to figure out with the help of a quick read through the manual downloaded from the GE website. The capacity and wattage are great. Food heats up fast and there's plenty of room for a large microwave bowl or plate. The dimensions are exactly the same as my previous GE Spacemaker microwave (which lasted about 20 years) so the installation went smoothly. Love the 'add 30 sec' button for quick warm ups. Haven't used the airfry setting yet so will have to let you know how that goes. This microwave looks great too.
I love the look of this microwave. I am still getting used to the controls (the dial to turn and press and then confirm by pressing a button). Right now it seems arduous, but I’ll get used to it. It was installed above my stove and vents inside, but it does have the capacity to be vented outside. The wattage is 950 watts. I like that is air fry’s and has convection baking and roasting. The capacity is 21”x13.5”x9.5” inside and has a 12” turntable. The outside dimensions are L 30” x H 15.5” x D 15.5
Instructions booklet is NOT user friendly and it would be best to have the clock feature accessible
I would recommend this to a friend!

As we continue to make improvements to our appliances, your feedback is extremely important to us. We will pass these comments regarding the Owner's Manual and clock feature along to our product team to review.
We replaced a 25+ year old GE OTR microwave with this new one. Ironically, thew old mounting system was much better than this new one. More importantly, the old one was a 1200 watt oven and this new one is only 950 watts. We notice the difference, but only slightly. Hated to see the old one go, but it no longer matched our other kitchen appliances.
Fits exactly where it was installed. Easy to use controls.
I would recommend this to a friend!
