It's fine
on July 10, 2024
Posted by: VicOma

It works fine so far. But the clock LIGHT is TOO BRIGHT -- it actually LIGHTS UP THE KITCHEN at night, when we turn off the lights to go to bed! I guess that low quality testing of products is what you see these days. Many cars have the SAME problem; headlights that are "blinding" to on-coming drivers. I guess people don't bother to TEST products like they used to. I prefer the older version GE Microwave that we had to replace (stopped working after 19 years), not just because of the light, but it was of better quality, I think. Just the general design -- this new one kind of sounds flimsy when you close the door, doesn't have that heavy quality sound. And it has number pads you have to "find" things on, the 30 seconds button seems to be "hiding", and you have to look for it in the mess. Obvious things that people use so often should be in obvious locations, not hidden in the middle of things. It should be at the TOP, on the SAME line as the CANCEL button, right under all the other NUMBERS.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good microwave. Display is a little too bright
on July 10, 2024
Posted by: Bdizzlefizzle
from Boston, MA
Overall, it’s a microwave and does its job. 2 things I’m not crazy about:
1. We replaced a 10ish year old GE unit that was very similar. None of the holes for mounting were the same. The wall frame was different and needed different holes. And the holders weren’t a perfect match once the frame was directly screwed in, for some reason. I had to drill a new hole C after it was up. The under-cabinet holes were in slightly different spots, too. And the template wasn’t quite right, making it a lot tougher to get the unit fully installed. It worked out, but I had to make a few adjustments, and it was a lot of groaning and lifting awkwardly.

2. The display is WAY too bright. You can adjust the speed of message scrolling, but not brightness. I guess we’ll adjust, but it’s actually obnoxiously bright from all around the kitchen. I wish we could cut the brightness down by like 50-60%. You can turn the clock off completely, but we do want a clock. Just not this bright.
Since none of the mounting aligned, I would have looked at other brands, but thought going with the new version of our old unit would mean at least one hole would line up. Kinda disappointing. I would have looked for a less bright or adjustable unit.

This is to replace the microwave that went bad. Install was easy and the directions were perfect and easy to follow. The wife likes this one better than the old one, need I say more.

Door out of alignment
on July 12, 2024
Posted by: Bobvic456
from KCMO
Disappointed in the quality. The door is out of alignment with the microwave frame. I read other reviews where a customer was instructed to set up a service call for adjustment. Located warranty service information, set up appointment. Warranty service came to the house to advise they can't do anything for the door alignment. At this point I guess my options are to live with it or rip it out and return in hopes of getting one that the door is in alignment with the rest of the microwave.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
