GE ®1.6 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave Oven

Just installed. Very easy. Replaced existing ge microwave that lasted 20 years. Hope this one lasts that long!

So we bought this microwave as it was similar to the GE we had before, which lasted 18 years. This newer one however (Manufactured 8/2106) lasted less than 24 months (but longer than the 1 year warranty, go figure). It suddenly stopped working...no power. The fuse had blown, it was replaced and immediately blew upon starting the microwave. Just for laughs and giggles (and because the fuses came in a package of 2) I replaced the fuse again and plugged the microwave into a completely different circuit using an extension cord.....same result, blew a fuse. Obviously something internal is drawing excess current. Anyways, because it is the holidays, and we needed a MW quickly, I bought the same darn model (manufactured 5/2018) as it used the same mounting and was a quick easy install. This time however I did what I never do, I bought an Extended Protection Plan. I never buy these because I believe, if a manufacture builds a quality product then they should stand by it....offering an EPP is not standing behind your product. Anyways that's my story.....hopefully we get a full 18 years out o this unit, like the first quality built one.

We purchased this microwave a few months ago and we are very happy with the purchase. It has all of the major features, works well and reasonably priced. My only suggestion would be for GE and other manufacturers to standardize the placement of wall mount and cabinet screw hole positions.

We needed a new micro wave and are hoping this will be better than whirlpool

Quiet, simple operation, easy installation, clean look
