GE 30" - 1.6 Cu. Ft. 1000W Over-the-Range Microwave

We like our unit but the location of the buttons are different from our old unit.

Heats well but difficult to open the door and to punch in settings

This is the 4th replacement in 8 years, unfortunately I have a GE white kitchen and in order to match appliances forced to replace with same poor quality microwave. I only use it for warming coffee, hot cereal and to keep dinner hot. Very disappointed with quality only way to change is purchase all new appliances. I don't recommend anything by GE.

The inside is big. I love that. But I miss some of the more quality features of the older model I had, like a sturdier door. I feel like this door isn't going to hold up to the wear and tear over time. I also used to be able to select just 5 or 10 seconds to heat something and now I have to select 30 seconds and do the count down. They still have the 1-2-3-4-5-6 minute instant heating features, which is great. It also has a couple additional buttons for other food options, but I seriously don't think they are necessary. Popcorn, of course, but this one is confusing because it offers different settings for ounces and I have no idea which one to choose and sometimes the popcorn gets over-popped or under-popped. I selected this product primarily because I thought if I stuck with the same maker I wouldn't have to change out the brackets, but that turned out not to be the case and we had to drill new holes through the tiles in the wall. Boo! As far as heating the food goes, everything seems to be heating evenly, so that's good. The turn table works great, too. Something else I was really happy about is that the new model has the same great surface lights; big plus in my book. Overall, I'm satisfied with the product and the price was right.

this was a replacement, my other GE died. only 4 stars because it just doesn't seem as sturdy, but I have only had a couple months.
