Very Unreliable.. don't trust Consumer Reports

Ditto on all the reviews here.

I purchased this microwave nine months ago. It stopped working after one month requiring major repair. After repair, it worked another seven months and failed again. Another repair. Both repairs were covered by warranty, but I was without use of the microwave for almost two weeks. The part had to be ordered both times.

I only use the microwave to heat water and warm a couple leftovers each day. Nothing major. I would say that it runs an average of 15 minutes per day at the most. Based on my experience so far, I believe that using it more than this might result in a total melt down.

Features...

Unlike the Sharp MW I had prior to this one, the GE does not offer many preprogrammed cooking options. The popcorn setting does not work well and actually burns the popcorn.

I also find the door to be a bit fragile. I am concerned that the large glass platter will break when taken out. Seems like another, more durable material could have been used.


If you want the fragrance of burning circuitry, this microwaves for you!!!
