Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Paint Peeling

Rk1k 8/19/2024

The paint inside is peeling. The manufacturing is very poor in our opinion. We have used several microwaves in the past and never experience this type of issue. Although it is installed 4 years back we use it very minimum and everything looks new except the peeling paint inside that is a major health concern.

I broke the record for breakage

Stan11 5/2/2022

At least among these reviews, I now hold the record. The unit died (completely) after less than a week of use. Completely dead--no lights or buttons or displays work. I plugged my hair dryer into the same plug where the unit had been plugged in just to make sure it was not the fault of my electrical system. Hair dryer works find.

Night Light

Old Chemic 10/21/2021

This product is similar to the very old GE Profile oven it replaced. It was easy to install, but I thought it would be easier, because maybe I could mount it on the previous wall plate. There is a new strip mounting plate that I had to install after removing the old one, and patching the wall where the old one was attached. My biggest concern was that I really liked the timer linked night light on the previous oven. I read all the specs from Best Buy and GE and saw that this one had a night light. I incorrectly assumed that it would be the same night light that was on my old oven. I was very disappointed to find that I would have to turn it on and off manually. With the old one, it was great to have the light on if I came home late. I felt that the description was misleading to anyone who used the nightlight feature on your older units.

thack33 9/29/2021

The JVMmicrowave that I purchased is without a doubt the most attractive microwave on the market, which is not the main reason it caught my eye. I really was after a GE to replace my previous counter top model. I was searching for GE because of the satisfaction I have enjoyed from both a ref/freezer and a convection oven, both by GE .

Calkees 9/25/2021

Almost everything about this model is okay. Have to press hard to get the buttons to work. Would be nice if they were more sensitive. The light that stays on all the time is too bright and not able to dim it. Didn't have these issues with previous Model of this microwave.
