My wife and I owned a GE micorwave for several years (purchased from Zellers) which we have had for 6+ yrs. It worked great! But after working beautifully for many years, started to shows its’ age and so we went out and decided to purchase another GE unit.

We ended up purchasing a GE 1.1 Cu Ft Turntable Microwave from WalMart.

Sadly, neither of us is very happy with this purchase! Especially when compared with our previous GE. Here are the top reason why we are dissatisfied:

• The Kitchen Timer resets itself – say you are in the process of cooking something and you want to setup the kitchen timer and then go and insert the item in your oven, when you return to the microwave to actually start the timer, the microwave has gone back to clock mode?! Why!?
• Inconsistent Heating – sometimes the food comes out piping hot and other times not so much. Other times the food is cold but the plate are burning hot?
• Inconsistent Time Entry Format – depending on which function you activate, the way you enter time changes. This is very frustrating and for no reason. Just poor programming on GE’s part!
• Sparking/Burning of Vegetables – I have tried to cook various vegetables and many of them litterally start sparking and/or burning in this microwave!
• Sliding Around – when you activate a function, and especially when you open the microwave door, the unit slides around all over the counter. The microwave pads (feet) are simply not doing the job.

So basically, GE sure isn’t producing a product of quality like they previously did. I would not recommend this unit and would most probably stay away from GE as a whole if this is any indication of the level of thought, product testing and quality the are now putting forth!
