Cons:	Noisy
Pros:	Simple Controls, Heats Evenly, Simple Display, Powerful, Easy To Install

Bought it to replace the last GE microwave I owned (similar model) which croaked only after two years after we tried cooking popcorn in it. =b Hopefully, this one will last longer. At least it's a little bit quieter than the last one.

I am very satisfied with this product

Describe Yourself:	Casual Cook

Pros:	Heats Evenly, Easy To Install, Easy To Clean, Attractive Design, Simple Controls, Powerful, Auto defrost very useful, Sensor cooking very usefu, Simple Display
Primary use:	Personal

I use the product constantly: cook cereal, use beverage button for instant coffee, defrost frozen food for other type cooking, frozen dinner preparation, bake potato, warm up bread, use reheat button. So far very satisfied with the easy controls. My only problem so far is to figure out how to warm up canned soup (following the instr on can has led to overflow). I was very satisfied with your response to my order. It came promptly, the date promised, and was packaged very well.

Good unit which needed a minor 'tweak'

Describe Yourself:	Avid Cook
Best Uses:	Defrosting, Quick Meals, General cooking, Frozen Food, Leftovers
Primary use:	Personal

We installed the unit and it was very noisey. We found we needed to put a thin foam between the bottom braket and the unit itself. Now it's quiet as it should be. Use for heating left-overs, and general cooking.

This is replacing a nearly identical GE JE1860 microwave that failed after owning it for only 18 months. Not covered by Warranty as it was beyond 12 months. [...] If this one lasts, it will work great just like last one.

Above Average

By ckinney from Dallas, TX on 04/24/2008.

Cons:	Difficult to Clean, Noisy
Describe Yourself:	Gourmet Cook
Best Uses:	Leftovers
Primary use:	Personal
Pros:	Powerful, Attractive Design, Heats Evenly

Pretty much the standard items for stainless steel - looks great, but fingerprints seem to be difficult to clean. It does a great job of heating up food - fast, but a little noisier than some models. Not unbearable, but ... I haven't even used the advanced features yet, but I like the power and, therefore, speed of this thing.

Happy with the microwave.

Happy so far

By tco from Cambridge, MA on 12/27/2007.

Pros:	Attractive Design, Simple Display
Describe Yourself:	Casual Cook
Best Uses:	Leftovers
Primary use:	Personal

Use it mostly for heating up left-overs. Does a decent job. As is true with almost every microwave, it's difficult to get even heating, even with the turntable going. Best bet is to cover food so that the steam internal to the containers helps warm things up more evenly. Other than that, I like this microwave. My last GE microwave was still going after 13 years - let's hope this one last just as long!
