Customers say
Customers find the microwave oven fantastic and appreciate its perfect size, noting it doesn’t take up much counter space and heats food quickly. However, the functionality and ease of use receive mixed feedback – while some say it works well and is easy to set up, others report it stops working after a year and find it hard to use. The Alexa compatibility is also mixed, with some reporting it works with Alexa for about a month while others find the Alexa and phone app integration completely useless. Moreover, customers disagree on the value for money, with some saying it’s not worth buying for 900 watts. Additionally, the noise level receives negative feedback, with customers describing it as incredibly loud.

Cooks like a dream
This is an awesome little microwave. Has some cool features like being able to sink it to your phone. Timer works great and isn’t too heavy to move. The price is well with it.

Too simple!
I have to say, setting this up was very, very simple. Same thing on integrating with Google Assistant.The only thing I believe is missing, is a QR Code to a direct download of the Smart HQ app from the store. I had to guess and download the first GE app that appeared, but its not the only one, as there is an older app in the store. After the app was installed, it picked up for bluetooth pairing and WiFi setup.I hardly write reviews, but I do install a lot of smart devices, that sometimes are a PITA to setup and make it work.

Works great, looks great
Very happy with this new microwave. Great size for fitting on our small kitchen shelf. Love the white interior and bright bulb, so food can actually be seen, unlike dingy grey interiors on competitive units. The style fits well with our Viking stove. Love that the kitchen timer can be set, and then the microwave can be used, without interrupting the timer. Love the flat interior ceiling so our magnetic splatter guard can stick to it when not in use. Note that this unit does not come with a flat plug, so I bought a 3′ flat plug extension cord from a big box improvement store. Would prefer it came with this directly.GE: if you’re reading this, I have two minor criticisms. One, the turntable makes a clacking sound, like a train in slow motion, when spinning around with a cup on it. Two, the door doesn’t line up visually with the front panel, resulting in the chrome stainless perimeter having a sloppy zigzag appearance. Manufacturing tolerances should be improved in both areas.

Perfect for me
A stroke has left me legally blind and I live alone. I’ve got alexa devices throughout my house. Using the keypad on the microwave would be challenging but I am able to just speak what I need. For example, “Alexa, turn on microwave for two minutes.” The microwave is then set for the time and starts on it’s own. Another feature I like is the ability to scan a food items UPC code and if that item is in the database, cook settings are sent to the microwave for proper cooking. The app also has an AI feature to help come up with recipes or make suggestions. The microwave was fairly inexpensive as far as microwaves go but I would have paid double knowing the independence it helps me achieve.

It’s really nothing more than a toy right now!
Nice idea that’s been poorly implemented.I’m using the GE Appliances app on an iPhone. Once I connect the microwave to my WiFi, I can find the microwave with the GE app, but it keeps going online, then offline, then online, etc. Also, the app crashes on a fairly regular basis. When it’s online, the screen has a “bar code” icon which you can use to tell it to scan a UPC code on a frozen dinner. The scanning process is finicky and it takes a while to successfully scan a code. Only 2 of the 6 products I tried to scan are even supported. Once a supported product is scanned, the iPhone screen displays the cooking instructions with a “Send” button. When I hit the send button, all it does is send the initial time and power setting to the microwave – I still have to press start on the microwave. When it came time to “remove product, stir, and replace product back in microwave”, the app seemed to lose track of where it was and I had to finish the job manually.If the microwave oven loses power, the display shows PF. It seems you have to press the Cancel button to clear that state before the app will work again. Plus, you need to re-enter the microwave’s Model Number into the app each time the power fails?!? Actually, it’s more often than that. I just tried the +30 second button and it asked for the Mode Number again.I don’t think they did a lot of testing back at the lab?P.S. The clock sync feature doesn’t work.==========================================UPDATE:I called the provided for technical support – they only handle getting the initial WiFi working. That person forwarded me to the parts department which wasn’t helpful. I called back the original number and was told to contact GE Answers with actual non-connectivity issues. The service rep I spoke with at GE Answers didn’t have any answers regarding all the issues I mentioned – his response was “they just came out with these” (as if to say “the bugs aren’t worked out yet”). His only answer was that I should call Consumer Relations to get a replacement. I don’t think I’m gonna waste more time on this right now.

Microwave with not great spinner and why do you need wifi?
So I’ll start with the good.It seems to work pretty well for heating. It heats up everything and quick. So it does do what you want it to do. That’s a good thing.Now for the bad:It has wifi. WHY? Why do we need wifi on a microwave? Oh it alerts me when it’s done. So does the beep. Are people using this feature? Are they running it for like an hour and leaving the house? What the heck is this for? What people are doing this? I feel like a Seinfeld episode right now. WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE? The wifi is annoying. It let me know that the coffee cup I put in there there to heat up for 30 seconds was done. UH … no. I removed the app and removed the microwave from the connection to my internet asap.Second issue and this is super annoying. The glass plate that goes round and round on these plastic flimsy wheels continually goes off track. Everything I put in there is flopping around. I have pulled out the glass plate and reseated these stupid cheap wheels many many times. So many times in fact that I am considering getting rid of this thing and getting something that doesn’t do this. And I can’t just remove the glass and the cheap plastic wheels, because then there is no real flat surface to set things on in there.So buy at your own risk. And don’t connect it to your wifi, unless you are cooking like a turkey and heading to work and need to be notified by phone that it’s done.

This microwave sounds a little tinny when the door open, more than what I’m used to. As I get used to the settings, I find it easy to use and does the job so far

Works well with Google assistant in Canada. I have not tried Alexa because I always use my Alexa device to tell me if there are Amazon packages at the door. I have been quite happy with it so far. The voice control will be extremely useful for me as my vision continues to get worse.

We purchased this microwave from Amazon and when we tried to register it GE Canada said it is a US product and they don’t cover it. So we are left with out any warrantee.

took forever (and many attempts) to get the microwave to connect to my WiFi. Then when I finally did, Alexa app couldn’t find the necessary skill to talk to the app for the microwave. Lots of online searching to see if the name changed. Then called Alexa help centre (very helpful), who did much of what I had already done, then confirmed that the skill is not available in Canada. He suggested I call GE to see if there’s a workaround. GE Canada was terrible. Nobody understood my problem, and just transferred me to another person. Eventually they trasnferred me to wifi support in the US, where I was told that the skill was not available, that there is no workaround and that I should contact Apple (yes, they said Apple). Being returned.
