Product review (3 stars): Has noise issues; second attempt at repair on the way
Distractingly loud. While under warranty, I had a repair technician come and "fix" the problem. Now, 15 months into owning it, the same noise is back, and it's out of warranty (no help from GE, I've tried). I would highly recommend looking elsewhere if noise is a factor at all.

Changing review: after speaking with the right people at GE; they are going to service the unit as-if warrantied because it was a previously reported problem.
