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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Great micro, great price. Only wish that the panel was backlit so you could see it in the dark. But i chose the bottom model because the swap was necessary and it was in stock at the store. Timing was an issue. It wouldnt have been too long to get it, like 4 days, but personal timeline dictated immediate in hand. I strongly recommend this otr micro

I'm in love with this 1.6 cu ft GE Over-the-Range Microwave in bisque/cream! I had concerns about a microwave over the range, afraid I'd possibly spill hot liquids when reaching at eye level but I've had no issues. The exhaust vent has high & low settings that work well and the surface light brightens my cooking area below when preparing dishes on the stove. This light also dims which is great for a late night drink of water or sneaking a snack. The color isn't for everyone but in my small kitchen with antique cream cabinets the microwave and range in the same color makes the space look much larger. Being above range also frees up needed counter area. My only regret is not buying it sooner! I'm very pleased and trust GE appliances to perform well and last for years!
