Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy, and expensive and you probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Great product !

Submitted by Deek20 - 9/25/2020

This is my 2nd GE MICROWAVE (Same model) , it lasted 6 years of every day use. It was a no brainer but to buy another one. Hope this one performs as well.

Big Disapppointment

Submitted by BernieDan - 9/24/2020

Who would expect that the keypad would be unreadable unless you use a flashlight? That unlighted black key pad is a major design flaw. If we had known about that problem we would not have purchased it.

Not worth the money

Submitted by Hardlucklu - 9/17/2020

I don't like it. It doesn't compare to my last GE microwave. It lasted for ten years and was close to identical in appearance and power. Too bad it doesn't perform as well. The door sounds tinny when it closes, the interior light doesn't adequately illuminate its contents; the clock is too dim and the function buttons are too small and are difficult to see in anything but bright light, It does not come with an operation manual. It's obvious to me that this model was produced on the cheap.

All good. Our precious microwave was a discontinued Jenn Air model. This one fits in the space well. Door is a little loud opening and closing but features are great for basic cooking and defrosting. We like the reminder beep that the item has finished.

Smudge Microwave

Submitted by Sher0729 - 3/27/2020

I don't like this microwave. The only reason I purchased this microwave was it was the only replacement that would fit in the space of my initial built in microwave. I don't like that you barely touch this microwave and it leaves a smudge. Every little print shows no matter where on the microwave you touch. The controls are confusing. Dinner plate is by weight?! Who weighs what's on their plate! Other controls are just as bad.

Took ordering twice to get one to work.

Submitted by Brenda3 - 3/10/2020

I would have rated higher but had to reorder a second microwave immediately. Waited 2 weeks to get first microwave. Got it home and plugged it in and started running and couldn't get to turn off till we unplugged it. Waited another two weeks for second microwave to come in. Works great. I do wish they would put a wall hugger plug so microwave could sit closer or wall.

All lights could be brighter

Submitted by Noona2020 - 1/7/2020

I like this microwave. The reminder beep is nice, especially since it's only one beep. It runs quietly and does a good job of heating the food. The lightbulb inside is far too dim and casts a pinkish light inside. The exterior panel could also be brighter.

Not so great

Submitted by Oser - 11/18/2019

I have had several models of this GE Microwave, each succeeding one works less well. The interior light is VERY dim so you can't hardly see when the door is open, much less when the door is closed. Then most pecularly this microwave continues to cook for 5 more seconds after the timer goes off! Not a fan anymore....

The microwave works great. My first microwave was a GE and it lasted a long time. I hope this one lasts several years. This one actually replaced a GE which I had several years. I only wish the numbers on the pad were easier to read. I punch the numbers by memory, however, my husband really can't see them.

Needs Backlighting on Control Panel

Submitted by jgbear - 5/28/2019

After much online research, we decided to purchase this microwave as a replacement for one we had. The microwave works well, and is easy to use (took a little while to learn positioning of buttons, but now we're fine!) Our biggest issue is that, as a countertop microwave, one must know it would be placed under cabinets. Because the keypad markings are so light, it is extremely difficult to see the markings on the control panel. This microwave would be perfect is the panel were backlit.

Submitted by D Bull - 2/16/2019

I replaced my Whirlpool Microwave with this one. The safety features and ratings were better. This fit perfectly in the built in area where the former microwave was installed. My wife and I have only used this for a week and we are both pleased with how easy it is to use. I've already used the popcorn feature and the thirty second button for coffee. It doesn't seem to take as long to warm things up.

Works fine

Submitted by Larry1943 - 1/31/2019

Pleased with the unit, but the display options are dim, therefore hard to read. Needs brighter lettering or a way to energize a background light. I also have the 2.0 CF model and that is so much easier to read. In addition, I have both units and it is frustrating that the layouts are very different. It would help if unit displays were similar in layout, especially since the functions are nearly identical.
