We have been very pleased thus far (1 month). This unit is powerful and does what it's supposed to do. We are new to the sensor cook technology and it's remarkably spot on thus far. Popcorn stopped cooking at the moment it needed to but it can be adjusted 10 seconds increments either way if it's not on the money. The price was right in our range and the install was relatively easy. A good buy from Best Buy.
What's great about it: Sensor cooking, features, power, great looking, easy install
What's not so great: Alls well so far
I would recommend this to a friend!

Review 2 for GE Spacemaker 1.7 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave - Stainless-Steel
Not much of an improvement over my 1995 GE

My old GE from 1995 finally died so I replaced it with this one. As far as features and options there is no improvement over my old one. Actually the range lights are dimmer than my old one which had one bulb burned out.
One improvement in my opinion is the turn table inside. My old GE had a "stirrer" built in to the base of the microwave which did not work as well as a real turn table.
The biggest reason I purchased this was that it fit nicely into the old space, it looks good, and the old GE had a very good lifespan so I decided to stick w/ the brand.
What's great about it: Cooks food as expected, looks nice
What's not so great: Range light is dim, range vent is noisey.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this to replace an old GE microwave oven. The old bracket and drill holes matched up. It took 25 minutes to install. the hardest part was carrying it into my house by myself. Need 2 people for the installation.
What's great about it: Old GE Bracket worked for new oven.

Our existing Microwave finally went out and I replaced it with this GE spcemaker. The whole process was very easy and had it completely installed in less than a hour. I researched this microwave before and found it to be very competitive among other microwaves as well as having a good price, was actually cheaper than previous microwave and had many additional options. This microwave was best bang for the buck for my needs. Have had the microwave for over a month and works great and is very quiet.
What's great about it: Easy to install, and good price.
What's not so great: No short falls that I could speak of .
I would recommend this to a friend!

This unit looks and works great! As someone else pointed out, the door design is 1" taller than it needs to be. At the very bottom of the door, there is an extra inch of stainless steel that could be shaved off; the door is actually bigger than the microwave needs it to be. I guess the designer wanted an even border of stainless steel to accommodate the "smiling" window shape. All my other Stainless appliances have a clear coating that prevents fingerprints and smudges. This GE has no clear coat, so fingers on the bare metal leave a very visible smudge.
This unit includes a metal rack for extra dishes to be heated. For years we were told not to put metal inside. Well, this rack works great! Overall, I'm very pleased with this unit, and the price seems very fair. The instructions for installation were easy to follow, even for us non experts.

I bought this microwave about 3 weeks ago. It took my husband and I only about 1 1/2 to install and that included removing the old microwave. The instructions were clear and easy to read and understand.
We had a 13 year old GE Spacemaker that was in the house when we moved in. It's only downfalls were that it had no turntable and was only 850 watts. It took forever to heat anything up.
We chose this GE because we are updating all of our appliances one piece at a time and wanted to replace with all Stainless Steel. We have all black now. This microwave works great, runs quietly, and so far with daily use I have had absolutely no problems.
If you are looking for a new over the range microwave, this is one is a great purchase.
What's great about it: Clean looking and quiet operation
What's not so great: Haven't found anything yet
I would recommend this to a friend!

The door hangs down lower that the front of the microwave by at least an inch. It should have been designed to end at the bottom of the microwave to provide more visibility of the cook top beneath it. This is especially a factor if you are tall.
What's great about it: It is a great microwave except
What's not so great: the door design

Installation asks for 2 people, but I was able to do just about all the work myself. I only needed someone to hold the unit in place while I secured it with screws. It looks great in my kitchen. The sensor cooking is excellent in heating up my food to the perfect temperature, and it makes a great bag of popcorn!
The only thing I was unhappy about was if you dont have a vent you can set the microwave to recirculate but you need a special charcol filter which is not included. It cost me almost $40 for this filter. Instructions also weren't clear how to install this filter and I almost broke the unit trying to install it.

I recently purchased (and reviewed) the GE JVM 1540 and was very dissapointed in that unit as it was very loud. I took it back and bought this unit and couldnt be happier about the decision. First off this unit is quiet, very happy about that! It is very attractive and at 1000 watts it gets the job done. Installation was a breeze so I really have nothing to complain about. Again, it is a very attractive microwave and really dressed up our kitchen. We dont really do a lot with a microwave other than cook popcorn, and warm things up so I cant say if it has a lot of great features, of course you can read for yourself about those.
What's great about it: Attractive design, quiet.
What's not so great: None so far
I would recommend this to a friend!
