Very Quiet

Love how quiet the new microwave operates as well as the new features like dialing the time. So much easier to use and cleaning is simple with the 'steam' function. It's a nice upgrade from our old GE Profile microwave.
If I was to rate my Profile microwave, it would be three stars. It replaced our 17yr old Profile microwave. Everyone in the family said the new one feels cheaper. It's harder to press buttons, the dial feels cheap, there's slop in the door hinge. The older one felt sturdier and higher quality.
It cooks great. It operates the way you would expect the appliance to operate.
It arrived with some damage. The box was 8n perfect shape, but the cover was buckled in the corners. GE service offered to take it back. We are fine with damage, so they offered x% off. After a little haggling, the accepted x+% off. We are happy; I'm sure GE is happy to.
My old microwave died and I splurged a bit on this upgrade. It was 100% worth it! The extendable exhaust is genius and works really well. The dial setting is easy to use. It’s so quiet that sometimes I have to double check to make sure it’s working. It heats evenly. Highly recommended!
Fit perfectly under my cabinets, matches my other stainless steel appliances (even non-GE ones), powerful 4-speed vent fan with large pull-out vent expansion, and easy to use, flexible controls. Best I've had. Love it!
I purchased primarily for GE's quality but also for the slide out vent. Tired of previous microwaves getting soaked with condensation from using range front burners. This slide out vent is great. Absolutely zero condensation gets to the microwave controls. The slide adds about 1 inch height to the unit but it does not get in the way. The LED lights are very bright and was surprised to see they are diodes, not bulbs. I don't know what will happen when they burn out. There is no mention of this part on GE's website. An added bonus for me is that this microwave will communicate with my new GE Profile stove, which unfortunately is on backorder.
Based on past GE experience, I purchased this microwave primarily for GE's quality but also for the slide out vent. I was tired of my old microwaves getting soaked in condensation from using the range front burners. This slide out vent is fantastic!!! Absolutely zero condensation gets to the microwave controls. The slide out does add overall height to the unit but that does not hinder me (I am 6' 2"). The LED lights are very bright and I was surprised to see they are diodes - no bulbs. I don't know what will happen if/when they burn out. From what I can tell, they are not easily replaceable and there is no mention of this part on GE's website or other appliance repair sites. An added bonus for me is that this microwave will communicate with my GE Profile stove, which unfortunately is on backorder so I cannot comment on that option.
