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.
We replaced a 5-year-old high-end Frigidaire which failed (lost all power). We like the extended vent option on the GE model. We had a GE profile in our old home and loved it. Unfortunately, it was not an option on our new home.
Works great! Heats up dishes. Love that you can turn off the turn table if you had an item too big. Not crazy about the round knob and only heat in 15 second increment.
