GE Profile - 2.1 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave with Sensor Cooking - Black stainless steel

Thr microwave is nice to look at. The buttons are hard to push, the vents fall out every time someone closes the microver door. Feature are not as good as I would want such as steaming function (only vegetable and rice). The defrost feature only allows fro weight or time and overcooks the food. For GE profile to be more high quality. I surely dont feel that way

Installation was easy. The microwave was a perfect fit to replace my old GE microwave oven (I measured first to ensure a good fit - my old GE microwave was 20 years old and still going - now at my nephew's house). The outside venting fan is wonderful - takes cooking smells from the house and pushes outside very quickly and efficiently. While the fan is somewhat loud, there is only so much that can be done about fan noise. Features are all I need in a microwave, and controls are easy to read and understand. Capacity is bigger than my prior 20-year old GE microwave.

For a mid-range product, this lacks basic functions like a melt button. Build quality is average, very plastic-ee. Front door feels like it could easily break with minimal force and the stainless steel is very low quality, it stains very easily and dents with the smallest hit. This will be the last time I buy a GE appliance, there are way better products from other brands at a cheaper price.

I just recently purchased a new GE Profile over the oven microwave oven. Its features are many and easy to use, it's stylish which goes well in any kitchen. My only concern is the halogen surface bulb which generates lots of heat especially if left on for an extended amount of time which can cause burn injuries. I will be down grading to an LED surface light bulb to remedy my concern. Otherwise, I would highly recommend this microwave oven to anyone looking for an appliance with all the features, capacity, etc etc.

We absolutely love this microwave it is off the charts with its technology now and even though it says it's only 1100 Watts the fact is it heats things up faster than the 1500 watt we had in the past. Further it actually has a lot more room inside and we've been able to put whole chickens inside to defrost. As far as microwaves are concerned this one is top notch for the price.
