GE APPLIANCES PVM9005FMDS over the range microwave

Very clean lines and stylish. Was very impressed with detail and simplicity of installation! Was able to install DIY. Interior is larger than our previous microwave, and has a larger rotating plate which is very nice. Going to take getting used to the push button controls, but overall very pleased. Listed as a 1000 watt power, which is what we were used to.

[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
