GE APPLIANCES JVM7195EKES OVER THE RANGE MICROWAVE Stainless Steel

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got this a month ago to replace one that had been damaged in a kitchen fire. It is so much better than what we were using. I don't have it installed above the oven yet though the installation looks easy but it works great. The controls are excellent as are the sensors. Love that it can tell when something needs more or less time. Great capacity. Really great microwave and the price was excellent.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] GE JVM7195SK6SS Microwave Review (1.9 Cu Ft, Stainless Steel) Overall Rating: ★★★★■ (4.3 / 5) Design & Build Quality The GE JVM7195SK6SS features a sleek, stainless-steel design that complements most modern kitchens. Its control panel is responsive, with intuitive buttons and a solid door handle. The 1.9-cubic-foot interior accommodates large dishes easily, and the stainless finish is smudge-resistant with regular cleaning. Performance & Cooking Features Delivering 1,000 watts of power, this microwave handles everyday cooking and reheating efficiently. The sensor cooking function adjusts time and power automatically for foods like vegetables, popcorn, and leftovers. Presets such as “Melt,” “Soften,” and “Reheat” simplify common tasks without overcooking. Ventilation System The 400 CFM, four-speed vent fan performs well at clearing smoke and steam. It's especially effective when externally vented, though a bit noisy at its highest setting. Even in recirculating mode, it handles odors better than many comparable models. Ease of Cleaning The steam-clean interior loosens spills for easy wiping, and the glass turntable is dishwasher safe. Exterior cleaning is simple with a damp cloth or stainless-steel cleaner. Installation & Setup Designed for standard 30-inch ranges, installation is straightforward with the included mounting bracket and template. A second person is helpful for lifting during installation. Pros • Strong 1,000 W power and reliable sensor cooking • Large 1.9 cu ft capacity • Powerful 400 CFM vent system • Easy-clean steam interior • Attractive stainless design Cons • Fan is loud on high speed • Undercabinet light is dim • Control panel text could be brighter • Charcoal filters need replacement periodically Bottom Line The GE JVM7195SK6SS is a durable, well-designed over-the-range microwave with powerful performance, excellent ventilation, and convenient features. While it's not the quietest option, its reliability and ease of maintenance make it a strong choice for busy households. Verdict: ■ Highly recommended for families seeking a capable, easy-to-use over-the-range microwave.
