GE APPLIANCES PVM9005BLTS over the range microwave

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love our new microwave. It replaced our Sharp microwave. This new one has great features, For starters, it's huge! Makes last minute defrosting super easy, reheating is fast , and best of all,…makes perfect popcorn! We highly recommend this microwave oven.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this unit to replace an earler model of this same unit that lasted 9+ years. The price comparision from the earlier model was about $25 more. I am able to compair as I retain all paperwork and receipts form all major purchases to follow up on replacements or warrenty as needed. This unit is generally the same size, only the height is a little smaller, which is ok as I like the extra clearance over the cook top. I installed the unit fairly easy, you will need 2 people to hang the new unit in place. The only issue with the install was the cabinet templet and how to set it to pick up the top mounting holes. The wall templet was right on. The bottom grease filters are the same size as the old ones, which I purchased to replace as needed. the charcoal filter at the top of the unit is different, Bummer! All in all if I get 9 years out of this unit it's worth it. It looks good, it performs well and I was happy to find the same style unit. As a note: I have a GE counter top microwave over 12 years old, that is another reason I return to GE for this type of appliance. mb
