Nice black stainless free standing microwave at a decent price. We didn't want a under cabinet mount for our new build and had a hard time finding one in black stainless that wasn't prices outrageously. Fit perfect in our custom cabinets, and has worked flawlessly. It came with a child lock activated, but it is was no problem to disable it. Read more

No reviews for this model yet so I’ll start: (1) I believe this is identical to the GE JES1657BMTS microwave oven that has 70-ish reviews on Amazon with the exception that this model adds the child safety lock feature which you can disable. I don't have kids so I disabled it almost immediately. (2) We bought a house that had a Cafe CEB515P3M1DS matte black microwave oven (also manufactured by GE) installed in a cabinet with a black Cafe trim kit. Only a couple of the buttons on the Cafe microwave’s control panel worked (which seems to be a common problem) so that was frustrating. A replacement Cafe microwave costs roughly $1k if you can find them so that was also frustrating. This microwave fit perfectly with the existing trim kit. The black stainless steel of the microwave is not a perfect color match to the trim, but I like the slight contrast. I actually think it looks better than the microwave it replaced. (3) Has worked perfectly since installing it a few days ago. Good size, power, and presets. Read more

It’s a beautiful looking microwave and that’s all it has going for it, I expected better from GE. I also should have read the reviews like I usually do here and on other sites. I forgot it does have the push button to open, it has that going for it also. I don’t like all the functions on it though, too many. It’s not easy to use for the average person. I’m more old school. Punch in the minutes or hit the add minute button multiple times, hit start and you’re good to go. The inside is roomy enough and it’ll fit my dinner plates. I didn’t like that the inside light seemed dim. Oh, one other thing I liked, this microwave is super quiet, I was almost scared. The power was perfect but after the first use the top of the microwave was really really hot. That was concerning so later on I got out something else to microwave to test it again. (By the way if you have no food in it, it will not start) This time I heard the worst loud noise coming from inside and I quit. Came back later, checked the turntable was set right. Here we go again, there’s that awful noise and it was internal somewhere, not the turntable. That’s when I started my research. As far as the value for your money…not worth it. You’re taking a chance it’s going to break down at some point soon and if it’s broke when you get it, just the repacking and lifting is a killer. Read more

The microwave ordered was a model I've used for 5 years, many times daily. The heat element failed so I wanted another microwave just like it. The local store said it wasn't manufactured any longer. I looked on Amazon and they had a revised 2024 model just like my old one. I ordered it - nicer all the way around - improved. The front is metal, the older one was plastic. Very happy with this newer model from Amazon. Read more

I was in the market to replace an existing old built-in microwave. This one fit into the opening and had the features I was looking for. After using it for awhile, it has been working well. The power is more than capable & stronger than our old one. The child lock feature was easy to disable as we have no children in the household. The latch seems fairly robust but I still open/close it gently. The panel buttons are not quite as touch sensitive as I'd like though. It takes a harder push to engage them as opposed to a touch screen. I suppose it's a safety feature to prevent accidentally turning it on. Overall, it's been working well so far & we're happy with it. Read more

Nice product but had a ding on the side. Another GE microwave I had also had a dent. Terrible quality control at GE. Read more

I like this microwave. It's more powerful than our previous one that just died. My only concern is about the seal on the glass door. Steam can condense inside the glass that we can't access. it will eventually evaporates off but still concerning that it can get in there. We turned off the child safety feature as soon as we get it. It also still take time for me to remember to press Cook Time before entering the time as we used to not have a Express Cook (button 1-6, to automatically start for that many minutes). There was a mix up during shipping on Amazon. It got lost somewhere and it never go past shipped and I have to ask them to send another one. But Amazon took care of it at no additional cost. Read more
