I am on my second one and once again it works fine and just stops heating the food. First time i just replaced it with another one as it matches my stove. Now its been 2 years and this one just stopped heating also. Brought in a repair man and he says its the Magnitron which is very expensive. This cost me $79.95 for a repair man to tell me this. I will be buying a new microwave and not this GE/Hotpoint. I'm wondering if the others that gave this item a good rating changed their minds after 2-3 years. I feel a microwave should last at least 5-6 years. I don't reccommend this.
No, I do not recommend this product.

I purchased this microwave oven in the spring of 2010 based on the reviews listed on the Home Depot website. Compared to more expensive models it seemed to preform quite well and at much less cost. I loved this microwave and its features UNTIL 8 months after installing it, the microwave stopped heating foods. Now we are left with a microwave that vents and lights up but does not cook. The only way to have it repaired is to hope what is wrong with it is covered under the warranty or pay all most $100 to have it looked at. At this point, I think we will be buying a new microwave since the service fee is over half of what the microwave is worth. I did give the microwave three stars because it performed very well up til this point. I guess it is hit or miss with many appliances today.
As a side note: We could never find the charcoal filter for this model in any store and it was always sold out on the GE website.
No, I do not recommend this product.

I recently purchased this microwave after extensive comparative research with all the major competitors and read reviews at many sites for the different brands...this one is the best overall! This seems to have the best quality for the price and does a great job!
I purchased the extended warranty so NO WORRIES for a total of 5 years - that's awesome! The fan works great, good lighting and it has quick touch settings for quick heat-up's.
I am so happy to have this great microwave, we went without when our other one died for over 3 weeks and now we have our time saver back and less pans to wash for reheating leftovers.
***The bonus was more space above the range with this model, so more working room for stove-top cooking.
I opted for home installation and it was painless and quick. I would recommend this microwave and Home Depot experts to install and trust them to warranty this product. They delivered and installed on the day promised, that I chose during check-out - that is excellent customer service.
I would recommend shopping/purchasing online since the selection is the greatest and you can choose all the options needed right from your computer.
One more thing... the warranty is Transferable - very important if you are renting/leasing!
Hope this review helps....Happy Customer :)
Yes, I recommend this product.

After ten years my Hotpoint microwave died. Wanting to keep things uniform in the kitchen, I looked for and found the replacement model here on HomeDepot.com. It arrived quickly, well packaged and in perfect condition. Because I had the ten-year-old version of the same microwave, the swap was easy as we didn't even have to re-install the support bracket or anything else...everything was basically the same. EXCEPT the power cord does not come out in exactly the same spot on top so you'll have to have a saw ready on hand to cut another hole if you have the same type of set up. The microwave works well and looks nice, although I think the quality is slightly lesser than its predecessor...the door is a bit too light weight and feels kind of cheap but you cannot beat the price on this microwave!
Yes, I recommend this product.

Don't let the lower price dissuade you from purchasing this OTR microwave. Installation was very easy and it looks great- especially for the price.

I just installed this microwave over the weekend and it looks great. I can't attest to its longevity yet, but it microwaves well and was fairly easy to install. The Microwave has support for rear and top exhaust. Good Value.
Yes, I recommend this product.

This is a good basic microwave. Not a lot of thrills, but it is a good model. I purchased it to replace an older GE model. The Hotpoint fit the existing plate and mounting holes perfectly.
If you are looking for a basic, decent-looking, and very reasonable priced over the range microwave, this is a good buy.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Just got it installed and is exactly what i wanted. Not to expensive and wanted to match our range brand. Easy to install. For the charcoal filter for front venting, go to your local HP for a much cheaper filter price. GE wants to much for theirs.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I love this microwave/vent hood. This item I wouldn't want to do without it after having its convenience. It's space saving, efficient, compact but big enough to get the job done. It really gives my kitchen a facelift.
Yes, I recommend this product.

This microwave was relatively easy to install...and works great! Not a bad bargain model with a lot of "extra" features like one touch heat settings, an over-head light, etc.
Yes, I recommend this product.
