Product review (1 stars): cheap parts, paint peels off
We bought this microwave in stainless steel finish. Within couple of months of use, the paint from grill started peeling off exposing the black plastic surface underneath. While most of the front has stainless steel surface, the vent grill is of plastic painted to match the rest of the body. Even worse, the paint can't withstand the heat coming from the vent.

We called the store we purchased it from and they were nice enough to order replacement part and then come to our place to install it at no cost to us, even though we hadn't purchased any extended warranty/service plan. Another month later, even the new grill gave away and had the same problem. It's paint started to crack and come off.

I haven't had any problem with the functioning of the microwave. It does what it's been built for but that's not enough to make up for the black surface that is now showing underneath what once used to be a stainless steel. GE's customer service gave the BS about never hearing of this issue while many people are complaining online about experiencing similar problem. It doesn't make any sense for a company to make an expensive product and then save a few bucks by putting el cheapo parts on it which don't even last few months. Spend your money on something else. This is an expensive piece of crap.
