I have not had to use my Geek Squad protection yet. But it was an important part of why I purchased a microwave at Best Buy instead of their competition. Best Buy's Geek Squad guaranteed coverage for the appliance and if it died, I could take it back and walk out with a replacement.
Compared to their local competition, I would have had to leave a non-functioning appliance with the competitor, wait for it to be shipped to a repair center, repaired, and returned to me. So that could be weeks without the appliance.
Best Buy will have an appliance back in my kitchen the same day. That was the bottom line for me. Price was the same at either place with Best Buy's price matching but the Geek Squad coverage was much better.
Using this 1.1 cu. ft. GE JES1145SHSS mid-size microwave's convenience cooking controls and instant-on controls, you can quickly prepare popcorn, dinner plates, vegetables and more. The weight defrost option simplifies thawing frozen items.

A small footprint microwave at a reasonable cost. I have had it for almost 6 months and it has worked just fine. We have a small kitchen in our apartment and it fits well. We reheat food, pop popcorn, and so forth with it.
Reviews said that these sometimes die, but so far zero problems. I got the Geek Squad protection for it, just in case. Price matched with a local competitor. I'm very happy with the transaction and the protection offered.
