Product review (3 stars): Great when it works, buy extended warranty
The features on the microwave are great. However, after 2.5 years the Magnetron (which actually warms the food became damaged). Spent about $250 on labor to repair it (part comes w/ 5 yr warranty). However, 2yrs later the magnetron blew out again. Spent $100 for tech guy to come out, and it would be another ~ $250, at which point it didn't make sense and figured I'd just buy a new one. Also, my cleaning person broke the turntable and it's $110 to replace!!! However, the features on this microwave are great, and now that I'm shopping for a new one, I'm hoping to find one w/ similar options, like the night lite, reminder beep when food is done, add 30 secs option during cook time. The popcorn preset button gives me perfect popcorn everytime! If you get a GE, do yourself a favor and get the extended warranty.
