LOVE this Microwave Oven   01/18/2010
By MDL from Sterling, VA

What's great about it: Looks nice; great features
What's not so great: Nothing (yet)

"We purchased this microwave oven a few weeks ago. So far, everything has been perfect and it works well. We love the sensor cooking and the instant-on controls. Every tiime we use this microwave oven, we discover some new fun feature we hadn't noticed before! We initially selected this one primarily as a match for the new gas oven (which hasn't arrived yet), but like it more and more as time goes on."

Beware of CLEAPLY made EXPENSIVE parts   11/19/2009
By Anonymous from Philly, PA

What's great about it: It cooks well- nice buttons
What's not so great: Don't break the THIN Roller ring. It's EXPENSIVE

"Overall we were were happy with this unit but then there was a crack in the thin plastic tray roller ring which runs the turntable. It cracks easily. Yes, it's available as a replacement part but the cost is $52.00 This is 14% of athe cost of a NEW unit. And a microwave without a turntable is useless.

Either GE needs to make sturdier parts or charge a lot less less for this essential part. If you clean your microwave regularly and are not GENTLE with this part you can expect it to break within 6 months and need to spend another $52.00. (It's guaranteed but only to work. Not to break into two pieces.

Here is URL of the part so you can see it:

Only microwave I will buy   10/13/2009
By JulieE_BBYStaff89 from Hopkins, MN

What's great about it: True sensor cooking
What's not so great: nothing

"Love this microwave, purchased for a newly remodeled kitchen. Bought to match stove (love the stove!). Also, this seems to be the only brand that has true sensor cooking. It makes popcorn PERFECTLY! Use the popcorn button, it senses when done and stops. Never burn popcorn again!"

What's great about it: Great Looks, Solid Performance, Quiet
What's not so great: Does not come with filter for internal circulation setup

"All-around solid microwave that you will not have any regrets purchasing. Looks and performs very nice. My wife and I installed it easily because the instructions were easy to understand. Two people are definitely needed for installing the microwave, one to hold it in place, while the other to install a few screws for alignment and support. It is much quieter than the older, counter-top microwave we replaced. More features than what we need, but they are there if we ever need them! A little pricier than others, but worth the money."

What's great about it: microwave performance and style
What's not so great: does little to remove smoke and odor

"This unit matches my kitchen full of GE Profile Stainless
appliances and it is beautiful. The microwave works great and those express cook buttons get lots a use. The vent part of the package, however, is sorely lacking. Very little suction and quite noisy. If I had it to do over again, I would forgo the double oven for a wall oven/microwave combo and install a very high powered vent hood (with a high cfm and a low sohns) over the cooktop. Can't tell you how many times I've set off the smoke detectors, and I'm not that bad a cook. Seriously thought of replacing current micro with a vent hood and buying a countertop micro, but then the next person to buy my house would be complaining that there was no micro over the cooktop. Go figure.

Very Very Happy   09/08/2008
By zellcahn from Boca Raton, Florida

What's great about it: Gorgeous Looking, Top Quality, Quiet, Worth Every Penny
What's not so great: None Yet

"We are so happy that we purchased this Microwave. The design is absoulutely gorgeous and looks absolutely fantastic with our other stainless appliances. The pride of ownership that you will get with this microwave makes it worth every penny. If you don't have a vent to the outside, you need to set the unit up to recirculate by following the installation instructions, which I had no problem doing. For recirculating you will also need to purchase JX81B charcoal filter which I found at ABT.com. Just follow the instructions for removing the top vent to install the charcoal filter."

Close but No Cigar   01/11/2008
By nycman from New York, NY

What's great about it: Looks great, quiet, love the vent, good touchpad
What's not so great: stopped working on the fifth day

"I love everything about this microwave (looks, power, sound level, touchpad) except that it stopped working on the fifth day after installation. We were using it and in the middle of the heating cycle it started humming loudly and after that none of the food was even getting warm.
Service is coming to look at it. Once I placed the call to GE service they set an appointment for 5 days later to try and "Fix" it onsite. If it is unrepariable then I will need to follow up with GE for a replacement.
I thought the GE Profile brand was supposed to be more reliable. Close but no Cigar!!

Great Product   10/10/2007
By Fearsgirl from Memphis, TN

What's great about it: Very quiet, looks great, and it's GE which you can trust
What's not so great: None that I can find as of yet

"This microwave was bought recently at Best Buy and I am so pleased with it. I had it installed and have loved it since. It runs very quietly. It looks great and is a trusted name brand. The price at Best Buy was the best around. (trust me-I looked at prices everywhere)"
