12 1/2 months into owning this microwave (which by the way I loved), I was cleaning it with a wet paper towel when pieces of the white interior started coming off of the top. I’ve never seen this happen before. Called their customer service and was told that it’s actually paint and they would be happy to sell me some paint so I could paint the inside of the microwave myself. Wow, that’s great customer service. I’m not sure what upset me more, telling me to buy the paint or telling me to paint it myself. Microwave lasted another 9 months before the magnetron blew (it looked like a nuclear bomb went off inside of the microwave…really scared us). I was assured that they would fix it but it would cost me upwards of $119 for labor, etc. Obviously I’m not getting it fixed. My last GE microwave lasted me around 15 years. I wasn’t expecting this one to last as long (they don’t make things to last anymore) but I certainly expected a lot more than 2 years.

Microwave fits the spot and has worked well. Just hopped online to order another one because I was afraid to use it since the paint was peeling off the top. Read another review and see this person had the same issues. Im sure theres more people experiencing this, but it looks terrible and Im just questioning what effect it has on the foord, waves, etc. Now looking for one the same size.

Had two of these models. The first one lasted about a year and then the interior light syopped working. Used it for another year and then it stopped working altogether.
Second time around, the interior “paint” starting chipping away. I see from other reviews that this is not an isolated problem, The unit works well, but I don’t want to contimue to use it with the interior surface crumbling. I won;t be buying another GE.

Love this little microwave. We redid our kitchen entirely more than 2 years ago and it was tempting to upgrade to bigger this and better that. However, somehow I resisted a larger microwave and I’m so glad. This is the perfect little powerhouse for us. Easily fits a dinner plate, even a medium mixing bowl (marshmallows puff up a lot when you prepare rice crispie treats!), not to mention all the obvious small stuff — leftovers, coffee, frozen meals, popcorn, etc.
I should mention it’s also super-easy to use. Express cook so press one button to cook on high for 1-6 minutes; good “default” buttons for foods like reheat, popcorn and defrost (by weight or time); and a kitchen timer I find invaluble for all my cooking.
I’m about to buy another one for a family member so found the negative reviews. So here I am to add at least one vote of confidence ..we have NOT had any problem with the paint, lights, covers, etc. It runs perfectly and looks great.
