Our old microwave was halfway dead when we bought our house five years ago but due to homeownership being an endless money pit of projects and it not being completely dead, replacement never hit the top of the priority list.

Cue the generous relative who saw our microwave, vent cover dangling, buttons not working, and took pity on us. This GE unit was on our door step 3 days later.

We've had it about a month now and it's everything I've ever dreamed of in a microwave! Granted I don't really dream of microwaves but if I did it would be this one. It cooks food evenly, has a light that shines on my stovetop and a vent fan that actually circulates air! All things I didn't have before!

Install was easy, i managed to get it in myself after my husband conveniently got called in to work. I would recommend two people for lifting it in to place and securing it, only because it is super awkward to try to hold the unit and the screwdriver while climbing a step stool.
