Pros: Many options to choose from, Easy Cleaning
Cons: I haven't found one yet.

When we bought our new home about six months ago, it came outfitted with GE (General Electric) kitchen appliances. I was thrilled, I love General Electric. However, the standard appliances that came with the home didn't have the bells and whistles that...

Pros: cooks, reheats and defrosts conveniently, cleans up great, convenient location over stove
Cons: installation can be difficult

For six years we had a regular countertop microwave. I had wanted an over-the-stove model, but I'd heard horror stories from people who had them and had problems. After doing a little research, I found out that if the mounting guidelines are followed, ...

Pros: Durable, several quick buttons, ten power levels, blends in well in the kitchen.
Cons: Clock, a little loud, not modern.

This mounted microwave oven is nine years old and it came with our house already preinstalled when we bought our house eight years ago. This microwave oven is no longer sold by Sears or other retailers. However, it is still traded on internet for what ...

Pros: none
Cons: Magnatron failure, causes fires, No good customer support system.

We Bought our GE microwave because in the past the brand had held up well for us. We like the options for our new house. The unit seemed to be working fine but was loud, after 13 months the unit started sparking and making loud noises and shutting off. ...

Pros: Cooks evenly and quickly. Crisp clean look. One-touch cooking is nice.
Cons: Yowza, this baby's fan is LOUD! Cumbersome to set the clock.

We purchased this microwave to replace a Kenmore vintage 1987 microwave and a range hood. It was installed in April 2003, so I've used it for over 1 year now. The feature I use all the time is the one-touch cooking. Very convenient! I also like ...

Pros: Even turntable cooking, attractive appearance.
Cons: Disappointing ease of use.

This unit replaced an ancient microwave, about 20 years old. I was disappointed to find that convenience features and certain controls I took for granted on the old unit are missing: all the more so, because this top-line unit has all the "bells and...

Pros: attractive, easy to use, cooks well
Cons: design flaw kills unit when changing the light bulb

Bought 4 years ago for new house, this unit is attractive, easy to use and cooks well. Our microwave cooking requirements are minimal - defrosting, reheating leftovers, cooking frozen veggies, etc but the keypad options make it pretty easy to just 'push a ...

Pros: Automatic cooking works great Great looks, features
Cons: Magnetron is an acknowledged defect FROM GE during 1999-2000

We purchased this new with our house just about 4.5 years ago. We purchased it because of the good reputation of the GE Profile series. Styling is great in my opinion. The automatic cooking settings are great on this microwave are excellent as long ...

Pros: Nice Looking
Cons: Defective mechanically

When we first purchased and installed this unit in 3/02 we were pleased with the looks and functionality. It was powerful, quiet, and attractive. within 2 months the right light burnt out and I had to change it seemed very few months - but never ...

Pros: Looks nice
Cons: Service Alert! Magnatron caught on fire and burned microwave. Replacement microwave did the same.

I purchased this model in Sept. 1999 and in just over 2 years the magnatron (major part) burned up. The Sears repairman said there was an "service alert" on on this model for that very problem. The unit was not repairable and GE said they would replace...

Pros: This unit with sensor cooking is really top of the line in performance.
Cons: GE Customer Service could provide more information if a customer provides model, serial number, etc.

Unit was manufactured in November 2000. Purchased and installed in March 2001. Everything worked just great until November 2005 when the magnetron tube went out. Called GE for warranty service but asked for an estimate of the total repair as I was ...

Pros: Attractive, many features
Cons: Within a year the handle breaks

I bought this Microwave (stainless steel) in 2000. Within a year (2001) the handle started cracking ...

Pros: Nice design and works good when it actually works.
Cons: Magnetron Tube usually only lasts a year at most and will need replaced.

I wish I would have checked this site before we purchased this microwave. We purchased it to save space in our newly remodeled kitchen. Before this, we had a prehistoric no-name microwave that worked great but was huge and very loud. To save space we ...

Pros: Reasonably priced; wonderful features; beautiful night light; cooks well.
Cons: Opening and shutting the door is a real pain! Way too loud and clunky!

What a beautiful unit this is! My last GE over the counter oven lasted 9 years and I was sorry to see it go but this microwave has more elaborate features, cooks better, and is larger inside. I paid $364.99 for it yesterday and thought that was a good...

Pros: feature-packed, but most you'll never use
Cons: terrible reliability, and being a built-in and not easily swapped out, that really sucks!

This lousy microwave came with my new condo so I had no choice. Now, after just two years I have to replace it. I won't be spending any money to fix it, that's for sure. One particularly annoying product "feature" is being forced to set the time AND month, day, and year after a power bump before it will let you cook anything. That has to be the most annoying and worthless "feature" on the planet. Whirlpool, here I come!
