Most Helpful Favorable Review

Attractive stainless steel unit with child lock, which was most appealing to me since I have twin 2-year-olds and the microwave is within their reach!

Have only had the microwave for a few weeks, but performance is great.  I actually really like the spin dial timer - it increases time quickly.  The...

Most Helpful Critical Review

The microwave works fine.  Well, when it doesn't spark and make crackling noises occasionally for no reason.  The browner function is a horrible idea especially if you have children that don't pay as close attention as you would when using the microwave.  You can brown in it, but when it turns off...

Wonderful Product

I'd shopped around for quite sometime before settling on this product. Works as advertised. Easy to use. Performs flawlessly. Looks great. Cleans up nicely. I haven't experienced any of the other issues but I always buy the extended warranties so I'm sure I won't be unpleasantly surprised by any failures or problems. As always, Sears was great. Great customer service. Low price. All a young man could ever ask for.

If all you ever do with a microwave is heat up  coffee, then you're ok. However if you really cook with it as I do, this unit has a MAJOR inconvenient: it will not let you cook 2 dishes in a row... apparently it overheats and there's a break mechanism that stops the microwave from starting up again until IT COOLS DOWN! This is insane if you have an entire meal to make. I have to replace mine and as much as I loved the design of this unit I AM NOT GETTING THIS ONE AGAIN.

Great Looking, Problem Free

I was concerned about some negative comments in the reviews available when I ordered this unit. Very pleased that I went ahead with the order, as this is the best looking microwave that I have seen in a price range below the $1200 Dacor that it is replacing in my kitchen. It is quieter and more user-friendly. I have experienced none of the problems noted in other reviews. It also fits fairly well in the space where the built-in Dacor was before the panel burned out.

Great microwave

As others stated, this microwaves appearance is great but that's just the beginning. The operations is extremly easy. My 11 yr old can operate it with ease. I've had no problems in the past 1 1/2 of owning it and the cleanup is a breeze. Thanks GE & Sears for another great product.

Very Good Product for a Good Price

We just replaced our 17 year old GE microwave with this one. I'm very happy with it. This unit defrosts foods quickly, cooks evenly, cleans up easily and is overall a nice little unit. My only complaint is that the cook time can only be adjusted in 10 second increments. Although, even that would not deter me from buying this microwave.

brought it home and it didn't even work

I lugged this extremely heavy microwave through the subway home to find it didn't even work when i got it home. Sears was less than helpful and i had to pay an extra 20 bucks to get it back to the store since it's a "small appliance" and therefore not eligible for pickup. Pros- Looks Cool. Cons- Doesn't work, spotty customer service.

Won't be buying GE ever again

This microwave looks really nice but that is the best thing about it. There is nothing remarkable about how well it cooks, defrosts or reheats. The features are simple enough for almost anyone to understand without having to study the manual. Our microwave lasted just over a year and then components began breaking down. The repair costs are HUGE! I feel that a microwave should last a minimum of 3 years and I don't think that is asking too much. Also, the printing on the control panel rubs off if you happen to be inclined to clean the unit on a regular basis. This is not the first time we have been... read full review »

5 stars

Microwave sturdy, my last GE microwave lasted 12 years. I'm amazed how little the price has increased during that time and how much more you get for your money. This microwave looks every bit as nice as the highest end appliances and looks right at home next to my Viking double ovens. Definitely suits my needs and then some.

GE Microwave Oven

Defective. Did not work when first installed. Have to wait a week for someone to carry it to store for exchange. Very inconvenient. I have depended on Sears for 60 years so I am disappointed, plus I wasted about $20 delivery charges.

Dont buy it...looks great but doesen't work

We bought this microwave because it had a grill, had all the features and looked amazing. But we ended up returning it in about 3 days time. The reason...it looks great...but doesen't work. Apparently it has a bug...and I believe it would be there in all piece not just the one we got...This happened with us thrice in the middle of cooking...we set the time and let it start cooking...then we paused it once to check on the food...and when we closed it back again...it stopped responding...no buttons worked! So, we had to take the half-cooked rice and make it on the cooking range. Makes the microwave... read full review »

Worth the money

My wife and i had been looking at this microwave the past 2 visits to sears. My wife and my mother had gone to the store shpping together and my wife showed it to my mother while walking through the appliance section, and my mother loved the looks of it. To our surprize on our annaversary my parents gave us this microwave, also my mother and my sister also bought one and had been using it for two weeks before we got ours. We all think this is a very good unit, features are great and cooking time is fast.
