What's great about it: Does everything I need it to do.
What's not so great: I wouldn't change a thing. Very happy with it.
This is the 4th microwave I've had in this custom-built space in 15 years. We use them A LOT, I'd say it runs on average 1/2 to 1 hour every day, total. Cook whole chickens, fish, vegetables, you name it. This one lasted about 6 years. We have been happy with the GE microwaves, this was our 3rd one. (The Panasonic didn't last very long and had a weird cardboard panel inside.)
I like the way the light works, giving you a great view of the food cooking as well as being able to see to clean the inside. Others, the light doesn't stay on when you need it, or it doesn't light the whole inside evenly.
So even though ours just died, we plan to replace it with the exact same model.
This product is or has... Shortcut keys that save time, A turntable that cooks evenly, The power to cook quickly!, Quiet, Big enough to handle large items, Easy to clean

What's great about it: Easy to set up, good price
What's not so great: Haven't found a drawback yet
I like this microwave - more powerful than any I've had in the past (boils water about 30 seconds faster, for example).

Review 3 for GE 1.6 Cu. Ft. Full-Size Microwave - Stainless-Steel
Good choice for a mid-size microwave
Customer Rating
5.0
I had purchased 5 different stainless steel microwaves (1.2-2.0 cubic feet - GE, Panasonic, LG) before settling on this one. Besides the LG2010ST, this was the only microwave that actually had the required features we wanted (true sensor cook - that works, an interior light that goes on both when the door opens and when the microwave is operating, and good quick-operation buttons). The size was just right for our countertop area, not too big (like the 2.0 cubic footers) but still large enough to handle our biggest food containers.
Food cooks quickly and evenly. The interior light remains lit when the door is open and when cooking (many other microwaves no longer do this - which is outright dumb). Easy to use and looks very classy next to our GE Profile Stainless french-door fridge. Very quiet too.

I bought this microwave 3 years ago to replace a Sharp Carousel we'd had for 20 something years.
From day one there was a breeze that came from around the door seal and the door didn't always close completely. You had to give it an extra push. I would have returned it but I am disabled and can't move it.
Today, it just went dead while cooking. Nothing. No power. And just 1 week out of the protection plan coverage.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: The shortcuts
What's not so great: nothing
We have had this unit about a year and it works perfect. My wife says it is her favorite of all the microwaves we have owned in the past.

What's great about it: Looks nice, stainess steel matched other appliances.
What's not so great: nothing
Hard to evaluate a product that does what it says it does. I liked this model since it was not a giant size. We use microwave ovens to reheat food and beverages, cook vegetables, etc... nothing complex and nothing too big, certainly no turkeys or roasts so the small er capacity was perfect and doesn't require a big footprint on the counter.
This product is or has... Quiet, Easy to clean

What's great about it: big microwave in a small package
What's not so great: can't really think of anything
We have always had full size microwaves but have downsized recently. This microwave has a small footprint but does the job of a full size. It's easy to use. It's the quietest microwave I have ever used
