Title: Fit My Space Perfectly
Review: I ma doing a few remodels and this microwave filled my kitchen space above the stove just right. We hard wired it in pretty smoothly because it came with some pretty clear instructions.

Title: Great Aesthetics and Quality -- Poor Venting
Review: The GE JNM3184RPSS above the range microwave is a fairly aesthetic addition to my kitchen with a decent set of features. It has everything you'd typically expect from a microwave including convenience cooking buttons, multiple power levels, and pretty high power. I love the fact that it has a fingerprint resistant stainless steel surface as well which keep it looking great no matter how many times you use it.My biggest issue with this microwave is the venting, the venting worked well before adjusting the fan to vent to the top vent to the microwave. Once the fan was adjusted to vent to the top the microwave no longer seems to pull as much air flow through it. Itâs a bit confusing since the vent is properly sized and everything is installed properly (I checked multiple times as I was scratching my head). Luckily since this microwave is fairly easy to install I was able to take it down and remount it a few times to see if everything was installed properly for venting. I will say haven't cooked much on the stove since installing it but I'm not confident that its going to do a good job ventilating just based on the performance I'm seeing.The only other issue I really have is that it doesn't really have the height to cover a standard sized gap that is dedicated for over the range appliances. Not sure why this is, I thought these sizes were standard but you can see in the picture there is a gap below the bottom of the microwave.

Title: Top Notch
Review: This came at the perfect time for my kitchen renovation project, and it matches all my other new kitchen appliances! This is a really nice microwave, and we've had no issues with it. It had everything we needed to undermount it and recirculate with the venting system. I love that it's stylish and practical in regard to usability! This thing is great!

Title: Trusted brand that performs very well!
Review: Hubby was finally able to install my new microwave, as a move was delayed! AARGH! It went in easily, and looks very sleek and modern. This is a big microwave, with lots of room. The turntable is large and moves smoothly. The controls have some presets, AND an Add 30 Seconds option, which I really really like. Everything on the control panel is digital, so the surface is smooth and easy to clean. There is also a timer, which realistically I will probably not use, but I know many cooks would find it useful. The 900 wattage means fast, even cooking, with wattage options for defrosting. I have had many microwaves over the years, including one of the very first ones made for residential use. This one is GREAT. There was virtually no learning curve, and I am very pleased with the cooking and defrosting results. The door opens easily and closes with a quiet "snick" rather than a "bang!" Hubby really appreciates that. We are both big microwave users for actual cooking, reheating, defrosting, and frozen dinners! We are both delighted with this microwave, and would recommend it without hesitation.

Title: Great brand and simple yet modern looking micro
Review: This was installed above my oven and its really nice looking. It has a stainless steal finish and looks modern and a great addition to my kitchen. I like black because its timeless. Every one who gets other colors would need to update it so I'm glad this one was black. Its really easy to use and cooks great. The last micro I had defrosted very well and didn't cook the sides, rather it actually defrosted it. It has plenty of room and can handle large portions.
