The microwave is small (just like I needed) and fits well into my space. It works well and all of the functions are great. Looks nice and is very stylish.

Excellent results for a non-savvy tech like me! Easy to use and follow guidelines for any product. Cook from scratch or prepare frozen ready-to-serve meals. Few messes to clean up as well.
I can sit back, relax, and enjoy my company.

Great microwave. Simple and does the trick for what we need! Only suggestion I would have is that when the microwave is finished cooking, it does not unlock. You have to press "unlock" to open the door. Not a problem, just kind of annoying.

GE 1.1 cubic feet capacity is perfect for my needs—it fits large plates and bowls without taking up too much counter space. I also love the sensor reheat dinner plate, which automatically adjusts the cooking time for leftovers, making them taste fresh again.
Thank you for your feedback and choosing GE Appliances for your microwave purchase! We have heard great reviews on this unit and are excited for you to experience all the nice features this unit has to offer. We think it will be a fast favorite in your kitchen for many years! Dianna@GE Appliances

Cooking power is strong and even – everything heats up quickly without cold spots.
Convenience cooking controls make it super easy to use – just press a button for popcorn, pizza, or beverages.
The stainless steel design looks sleek and modern, blending perfectly with my kitchen.
Noise & Functionality:
It’s quiet while running and the door opens and closes smoothly. The digital display is clear and easy to read, and the timer function is a nice bonus.

It does what a microwave should do. It hears food and liquid rapidity. I like that I can see inside while it running.
I don't like that fact that the control panel is not lit up. Cannot see it unless it's in direct light. Also the door opening button is hard to push and the door is loud to close.

In regard to the child lock, they give you instructions on how to disable it. The microwave works fine, as far as we can tell. We just bought it today, but we may return it because you can't read the buttons unless you have a brighter light on them. Why would they not put bright white lettering on it (like the photo shows)?

I just love the totally unexpected color of mine, it's a beautiful metallic blue on the sides and top, so pretty and it's really quiet when running. I love it. GE is the best.

Good value for the price. Easy to set up, no issues so far. It is a lower wattage than our old one, so we need to microwave for a bit longer, but once we realized that, it was fine. Wish we didn't have to hit a button to put in a specific time - if you hit 1, it immediately goes for 1 minute - but if you want 30 secs, you need to hit "Cook time" then 30. Old version was easier - lasted over 20 years too. Hope this lives up to its ancestor's legacy.
I would recommend this to a friend

Just installed it so I haven't had a lot of time with it. It looks sharp, and it was easy to set up. It's the right size for me and the price is great. It's a GE product and I have good experiences with GE products.
