Looks good, but the dial is 'different'

By Recenseo from Pittsburgh, PA on 10/8/2008.

Describe Yourself:	Avid Cook
Best Uses:	Leftovers, Frozen Food
Primary use:	Personal
Pros:	Simple Display, Easy To Clean, Stable Tray, Heats Evenly, Attractive Design

The product looks great, and it's performance seems good (nothing particularly notable about it, but I only really notice bad microwave performance). The dial takes a bit of getting used to, and while it helps the visual, I'm not sure if it's the most pragmatic. It takes a bit of extra time to set it to the right number (I often overshoot, and have to slow down in the range); and it also takes a bit to get to relatively higher times ~ 7:00 minutes or so. Nonetheless, since I don't use microwaves so frequently, form over function is fine -- and as mentioned, the function seems good for what matters (cooking).

Good microwave for a good price

By Steve from MA on 09/17/2008.

Pros:	Attractive Design, Stable Tray, Easy To Clean, Dial control
Describe Yourself:	Casual Cook
Cons:	Design of Controls
Primary use:	Personal

We had a little whirlpool microwave that we bought specifically because it had a dial instead of buttons and we always loved it, so I was happy to find another microwave with the same design. Unfortunately, not as much effort went into perfecting the controls as the whirlpool. For instance, the whirlpool accomplished the same thing with less buttons. To start the timer you could just spin the dial and after a few seconds it would start counting down on its own. With the GE you have to push start. Just silly picky things like that. The only really annoying thing is that you can't use the timer while you are cooking something in the microwave (again, something our whirlpool could do). But other than that, we have been very happy with it. I'm partial to dials, so of course I like that feature. Someone else commented that the stainless steel exterior is bluish in color. That is not true. It comes wrapped in a transparent blue film that you have to remove, then it's normal color.

great design and function

Great customer contact [...]

Solid value.

By Kimberly from Wheaton, IL on 04/29/2008.

Describe Yourself:	Avid Cook
Primary use:	Personal
Best Uses:	Popcorn, Leftovers, Snacks
Pros:	Simple Display, Attractive Design, Easy To Clean, Stable Tray, Heats Evenly, Quiet

It seems to take a bit longer to heat leftovers up by 10 - 20 seconds than my old microwave. But for the price and styling, I happily wait.

so far so good

By seatttle cook from seattle, wa on 04/2/2008.

Describe Yourself:	Avid Cook
Pros:	fit the space
Best Uses:	Frozen Food, Snacks, Quick Meals
Cons:	last one wore out to fast
Primary use:	Personal

The microwave replaces the same model that I only had for 3 years and it stopped working. I hope this one last longer. I usually get 8-10 years out of a microwave.

Home Run

By acuppajo from Chicago, IL on 03/18/2008.

Describe Yourself:	Casual Cook
Best Uses:	Leftovers, Snacks, Popcorn, Frozen Food, Quick Meals
Primary use:	Personal
Pros:	Powerful, Attractive Design, Quiet, Simple Display, Heats Evenly, Easy To Clean, Stable Tray

I can't say enough good things about this microwave, we love it. After comparison shopping for a few weeks, this model is by far the best looking we've seen. It's powerful, cooks evenly and the dial timer is a real plus. We are very happy with this purchase.

Great buy!

Good Value, Good Product

Describe Yourself:	Avid Cook
Best Uses:	Leftovers, Frozen Food, Popcorn, Quick Meals

Great looking microwave. Works well, many nice features. Controls take a little "getting used to".

Cudos to GE

By Mistervic from Chicago, IL on 10/22/2007.

Pros:	Attractive Design, Quiet, Stable Tray, Heats Evenly, Powerful, Simple Display, Versatile, Easy To Clean
Describe Yourself:	Avid Cook
Primary use:	Business
Best Uses:	Popcorn, Quick Meals, Leftovers, Frozen Food, Snacks

I am amazed at how cool this microwave is for the cost. I am a high-end kitchen designer and have bought or spec'd dozens of microwaves. This is right up there with the best of them as far as function and style are concerned. In fact I can't think of another microwave at any price that is this eye-poppingly attractive. That's why I chose it for our showroom kitchen. People cannot believe how little I paid for it and when they learn it is a GE you should see the look on their faces. A few of my customers, who can afford a lot more, are strongly considering it. Cudos to GE.

Looks great, works just fine

By Jakman from Rockville, Maryland on 10/3/2007.

Primary use:	Personal
Pros:	Powerful, Quiet, Versatile, Easy To Clean, Stable Tray, Heats Evenly, Attractive Design
Cons:	Setting Timer and Power
Best Uses:	Snacks, Frozen Food, Heat beverages, Popcorn, Leftovers, Quick Meals

Great looking, very modern style. Works great. The only drawback is that if you really like setting your timer and power settings by push button, and having a few more automatic settings (one-touch for a certain type of food), U may need to think again.

Makes gourmet cooking a breeze

By Terry Loves to Bake from Marshall, MN on 10/3/2007.

Describe Yourself:	Gourmet Cook
Primary use:	Personal
Best Uses:	Snacks, Popcorn, Frozen Food, Leftovers, Quick Meals
Pros:	Versatile, Attractive Design, Stable Tray, Simple Display, Powerful, Easy To Clean, Quiet, Heats Evenly

I was a bit skeptical of the dial versus the more familiar push button-style power panel, but it's a breeze to use and does the job beautifully. I was able to melt my expensive gourmet chocolates on 50% power without a problem. I love the convenience of making really great food fast!

Stylish & Sophisticated

By DaRoosta from Sutherlin, OR on 09/13/2007.

Primary use:	Business
Describe Yourself:	Casual Cook
Pros:	Simple Display, Attractive Design, Versatile, Powerful, Quiet, Easy To Clean, Stable Tray, Heats Evenly
Best Uses:	Snacks, Frozen Food, Popcorn, Quick Meals, Leftovers

This microwave is stylish and sophisticated, plus very easy to use. You can't tell in the picture, but the entire thing is stainless steel. Except the color of the stainless steel on the sides and top is sort of a green-blue color (more green than blue). This could be a great piece of information for someone looking for the right piece in their kitchen. I really like this unit, both the way it looks and all the features of simplicity.

AN OUTSTANDING MICROWAVE OVEN

By PERFECTIONIST JOHN from SUBURBAN ATLANTA on 08/14/2007.

Describe Yourself:	Casual Cook
Pros:	CONTROLS ARE WONDERFUL, Simple Display, Powerful, Heats Evenly, Quiet, Attractive Design, Easy To Clean
Primary use:	Personal
Best Uses:	Popcorn, Quick Meals, Frozen Food, Leftovers, Snacks

A GREAT MICROWAVE; BETTER THAN SOME COSTING CONSIDERABLY MORE. (OUT OF STOCK IN LOCAL STORES) I LIKE HAVING A LARGE HANDLE YOU JUST PULL INSTEAD OF THOSE STUPID PUSH PADS. THE MOST ATTRACTIVE MICROWAVE OVEN I FOUND; BAR NONE! I HAVE NO COMPLAINTS AT ALL. (NOTE: IF YOU HAVE VERY LIMITED SPACE, YOU MAY WANT A MORE COMPACT UNIT.)

Simple to use

By ihenick from Washington, DC on 07/31/2007.

Describe Yourself:	Avid Cook
Best Uses:	Leftovers
Primary use:	Personal
Pros:	Powerful, Simple Display

It has a very sleek appearance and functions well.

loving it

By The Happy Microwaver from Atlanta, GA on 07/27/2007.

Describe Yourself:	Avid Cook
Best Uses:	Leftovers, Vegetables
Primary use:	Personal
Pros:	Powerful, Easy To Clean, Quiet, Stable Tray, Heats Evenly, Simple Display

Really have only used it for basic warming up/reheating, but have loved it so far. Turn dial is so easy, convenient and very easy to adjust to from being used to punching buttons for decades. It is very powerful - careful not to overcook! Updated, sleek design fits well in our gourmet stainless steel kitchen. No complaints!!

As sexy as a microwave can be

By Citizen Andrews from Chicago on 05/25/2007.

Describe Yourself:	Casual Cook
Best Uses:	Frozen Food
Pros:	Powerful, Modern looking

Hey, it heats up food efficiently/fast and its aesthetically pleasing...just what I was looking for.

Great Value - Highly Recommend It!

By Mary from Main Line, PA on 05/21/2007.

Describe Yourself:	Casual Cook
Cons:	Dark Display Panel
Pros:	Sleek design, Easy To Clean, Versatile, Powerful, Simple Display, Quiet

Compared with the Sharp microwave this replaced, which was the same capacity, this microwave seems to heat much more evenly and quickly. It has been a great purchase. We have had it over a month now, and the only negative thing I can say about it is that the display panel is difficult to read, as compared to our previous microwave. The timer dial is a nice feature, but there are no numeric keys, so you cannot key in an exact length of time. Took us a little while to get used to, but we are very happy with the performance, features and stylish look of this microwave.

Great looking and a great microwave!

By DC from South Beach on 05/14/2007.

Pros:	Easy To Clean, Quiet, Simple Display, Versatile, Powerful
Best Uses:	Frozen Food, Vegetables, Leftovers
Describe Yourself:	Health Conscious, Gourmet Chef

I love this microwave. No pressure sensative buttons to wear out.

excellent microwave & great value

By love the cook from cape may, NJ on 05/2/2007.

Best Uses:	Everything
Describe Yourself:	Health Conscious, Avid Cook
Pros:	Quiet, Simple Display, Powerful, Versatile, Easy To Clean

It is perfect for reheating. Does the job well and rather evenly for a microwave. If it continues to be reliable, I would definitely purchase again. Nice look too especially for an American-made product.

Works, but not the best

By digikata from Simi Valley, CA on 04/18/2007.

Describe Yourself:	Casual Cook
Cons:	Heats Unevenly
Pros:	Simple Display

Overall, I like the knob interface. Annoyances: - can't autocook popcorn w/o burning it. - would like 5 sec knob intervals at first - to set different power-levels, need to push pwr over and over and over... - Fan changed with a ticking sound after first month (I think it's going to die soon).

So far so good

By Mr. Microphone from Schaumburg, IL on 03/23/2007.

Pros:

Versatile

Have been using for about a month and it works just fine so far. The time adjust knob is cool, I was sick of punching in numbers on cheap membrane keypads. Looks good.

I like this product.

By The cooker from Bolingbrook, Il on 02/20/2007.

Cons:	Heats Unevenly, Popcorn burns
Pros:	Powerful, Quiet, Compact, Easy To Clean, Simple Display
Best Uses:	Thaws frozen food well, Meats, Leftovers, Frozen Food

Great appliance. Very easy to use, but watch the "popcorn setting" because it cooks a little long and burns the porcorn.

Great value

By Wingman from Dallas, TX on 02/19/2007.

Pros:	Compact, Simple Display, Quiet
Cons:	Heats Unevenly
Best Uses:	Vegetables, Leftovers, Frozen Food

Overall a good buy. Very nice looking, compact unit. The stainless is a little tough to keep clean, but it looks great when it is. For a small microwave, it is still pretty powerful. The only downside I've noticed is that it does have quite a bit of uneven heating (which is pretty standard for microwaves in general).

Excellent Microwave, Great Price & Looks

By MQ from Michigan on 02/15/2007.

Pros:	Quiet, Versatile, Simple Display, Powerful
Best Uses:	Vegetables, Leftovers, Meats, Frozen Food

I bought this microwave to match my new Stainless Steel Appliances and got rid of my old very small microwave. I really like this microwave oven. First of all it looks very nice in the kitchen. It works very well too. Great for de-frosting and re-heating. Very powerfull even heating. I like to make coffee with half milk and half water(both cold) in a mug. It just boils it in exact two minutes. The boiling is not sudden as with my old microwave. If you are looking to buy an inexpensive, good looking, powerful microwave, this is the one for you!

Best I Have Ever Owned
