We bought this unit along with our new range. Installation is straightforward if you ditch the template. Skip ahead in the instructions to "If you don't have a template" It's WAY easier that trimming and taping a piece of paper.
As for the microwave... it's a microwave. It's powerful, cooks fast, and has a number of presets that make doing what you're doing easier. It's also attractive and easy to clean. The roomy interior has a large carousel plate, and the buttons are responsive to touch.

So far so good. This microwave works well without all the bells and whistles and was a great value. It doesn’t feel as substantial as the microwave I was replacing - the door is much lighter and the handle is plastic and I am hoping it hold up. It doesn’t have the most powerful vent fan if you are using the convertible option for internal venting but it’s functional. Overall it’s a pretty good microwave for the price and looks nice over my cooktop.

I like the microwave as it is identical almost to my last one. I do have one complaint and that is the noise or the material of the door. It seems to be a bit lighter than the last one. Other than that, it functions pretty good.

Great. Simple, No Nonsense, Over the Range Microwave for usual daily grind. No fancy features which most of us don't use as Microwaves are used primarily for quick reheating only. Easy to install if you are trying to replace the old one as everything matches any other standard over the range microwaves. It replaced my 10 years old GE.

It's space and easy to clean. The functions are what you would find on a typical basic microwave.
It was easy to install over my range as it came with the mount. I wish however I could give it a 4.5 instead of just a 5 as there is just one minor issue being the filters underneath the unit once each hach slipped out. The may however come loose while installing or during shipping it is yet to be seen if it will happen again.

Fit was supurb for location and install was easy. Had to make adjustment for vertical ventilation and once that was done all exhausting of steam etc from stove was great. Looks good and works exceptional.

The over the range microwave we got fit perfect in my new cabinets and made them look complete ❤️ I love the microwave being over our stove and not on the counter. Plus it works really great, and we got it on a great sale!

I really like the microwave and it works well. The price was also right. I do wish the control panel had lights.

The over-the-range microwave is powerful and easy to use, with preset cooking modes that make heating and defrosting a breeze. Its sleek look complements the rest of the kitchen perfectly.

Microwave seems to run great and looks really nice. However installing this thing took a redicilous amount of time as both templates in the box do not line up at all. I feel I deserve money from GE for all my wasted time. What should have taken an hour took 4 from all the times I had to remount this thing.
You have to line up holes A+B but nothing else will match if you do. Do not use the centerline in the paper.

I got this microwave at a very affordable price. It was on sale. I was very excited to get this microwave. So far so good no issues with it. I mounted it myself. I’m happily using this microwave after my other Samsung microwave quit working after just two years. The associate that helped me at Best Buy was also a wonderful person and helped me out so much. I really appreciate him and the time he took to help me pick the best one.

I ordered this microwave because mine had died. When I was ready to install it, I took it out of the box and the front glass was completely smashed and unusable. I took it back to the store and they were so helpful in returning it, but unfortunately, had no other "open box" units that they could replace it with. So, they returned the money for the microwave to my credit card and told me that the nearest store that had the same product was a little over an hour away. So, I went online and I reordered they same exact product from the other store. When I returned home with the new microwave and unboxed it I discovered that even though the model numbers and the SKU numbers were exactly the same on both microwaves the new one I received was not as nice as the original microwave I had purchased. The holes I had already drilled for the first microwave did not line up with the new microwave and overall it just felt like a cheaper version on what I had originally purchased. At this point, I had already taken out my original microwave that had died, drilled new holes and had everything ready for the new microwave I had purchased, but then had to take it all out because the microwave was broken, and now had drilled and installed new hardware for the microwave I currently had in my possesion...so, I just decided I could live with this microwave. But I am still disappointed that both units were different.
Thanks for taking the time to provide such detailed feedback. We appreciate your insights into your new microwave. -Vikki@GEAppliances

We have had this for almost two years and it still works at a high level. It still looks and works like it did straight out of the box. We had an issue finding the right size with the cutout above the stove and this was the closest to the previous one we had. Hopefully it will ladt longer.
