  1. DANIEL

    Our new Cafe Modern Class Microwave is one of the best Microwave we have ever owned. Also, it matches our new Cafe Fridg. We are happy we bought this Microwave

  2. EmotionalDamageeee

    Okay, so I don’t normally bash products that take time to create an perfect. I’m hoping this is the scenario with this over the range microwave. The microwave itself is visually appealing but, even with that being said there is some issues in the design. First issue is the glass aka the viewing window you would use to watch your food cook. It’s tinted so dark that you can’t actually see if there is anything cooking. Also the glass touch panel portion completely stops you from see what little you could. It’s due to how high the microwave sits and the viewing angle of your shorter than 6 ft. It also doesn’t help that in all the pictures the manufacturer posts the interior lights appear to be LED, well they’re not. In fact I actually called café and spoke to a representative about why the model numbers are slightly different. Apparently it’s for parts but I also think it’s due to the fact they change the design without letting anyone know. The textured background on the interior of the microwave which is a huge selling point, isn’t textured at all. I had to get two of these microwaves, one was replacing the other. When I asked the representative on the phone why they don’t have that textured background she didn’t really know and said maybe it’s due to them finding a flaw in the design. That’s great but that doesn’t do anything for the consumer who assumes they’re buying all these features that aren’t actually there which depreciates the value of the appliance, in my opinion. Also it’s kind of pointless to have this glass design win the handle which is just an indentation on the side of the microwave where your fingers can go in, it’s inconvenient. Most people don’t open anything with a flat hand. There is usually a gripping gesture that occurs. Well the glass portion of this microwave that is over the stainless steel. That isn’t the portion of your hands come in contact with, it’s the actual black bezel and screen of the microwave. Which leaves streaks like no other. So it’s not really convenient if you’re buying this for the cleanliness factor, especially if you have kids. Another issue I noticed with advertising is online they have them marked at 1050 watts. They are definitely not 1050 W, when you open the door it literally says 1000. So not only am I cosmetically not getting what I paid for, the performance isn’t even up to par. Also, if you have an open concept kitchen that flows into a dining or living area the fans that come on this device to move air from the range below it, assuming you have a range below it, they’re not very quiet. They actually seem louder than my old GE appliance that came with the house. I also have the matching fridge in modern glass, it’s better than the old GE one I had. Lastly, the reason I had to return and swap them out is because close to the door handles, there seems to be this blemish inside of the glass. Not sure if that will allow moisture to accumulate. It’s very visible in some light and it’s be present on both microwaves. This isn’t on par with the quality this device claims to be. It’s when you put a screen protector on a phone but don’t get the air bubbles out. It’s not attractive. I’m very disappointed with the entire staff and development team for this product. Honestly I wish more companies would put their products into testing faces with loyal consumers to see the pros and cons. I don’t want to bash the café line as a whole or the people who developed it, I just want to say there should be an emphasis on what you’re getting when you buy one of these products. The good and bad. The reviews are what sold me in the advertisement. I may be pointing out the flaws but there are some good things. The Alexa feature has worked flawlessly for me, being able to start or stop and pick the time I want to cook food that just by using my voice is nice. It just requires that you have Alexa on your phone or on a device in the house. The visual design is also very sleek and formal. As long as you have the other glass products, everything just flows. But there is a bluish gray hue to it in certain light and that may cause it to conflict with other stainless steel appliances that are in proximity to it. I do however love the cleanliness of the microwave due to its styling. Like others have mentioned, it would’ve been nice if it was compatible with a rack inside that way you could have air circulating from the bottom and the top of whatever it is you’re cooking, but I knew what I was getting and wasn’t getting when I bought this. Overall I would not buy this product again unless I was going solely for the exterior design or the utility of being able to start and stop it with my voice. I have had my product for approximately a month. I now have the second microwave and have had it for a few days. I can’t recommend this if you’re buying it based off of the specs for the ads for it. Just know what you’re getting because you’re not getting what you think you are. Also, careful with the dimensions, I had my contractor raise the cabinet because Cafe adversed the incorrect height. It’s measured off the front which has this trim along the front bottom to maybe hide the bumps under it for the filters. They should advertise the back dimensions and the front. Like places so for fridges when they give dimensions for

  3. Cafemicrowave

    It looks great in my kitchen. It definitely gives my kitchen a modern look.

  4. Tazzbjs

    We love our Cafe microwave! Bestbuy dis a great job installing and the microwave is a great update from our old one.

  5. Mark

    Sleek, modern microwave oven that works well. Does not have the convection feature as the one it replaces but then I rarely ever use that in the microwave.

  6. LDCole

    Good and quiet. Has power to do the job. Lacks some preloaded programs i am use to use

  7. MrEd

    Expensive but very nice. The only critique we have is the popcorn setting leaves many unpopped cornels. We have begun to set it for several minutes and just listen for the popping to stop which seems to work better.

  8. Buyer

    The design is excellent and looks amazing in my kitchen. Not great quality. Had a kitchenaid microwave before and was much better quality and had much better settings.

  9. Khris

    Clean, modern design. High end design at a fraction of the cost. Performs well. Simple installation. Compatible with GE wall mount brackets if you are looking to replace an older product.

  10. Gamer

    Great looking microwave, easy to clean. Love the scan to cook function with app. Little on the pricy side but as I stated much easier to clean than stainless and looks better. Like the lights go out and just a press on the front brings them back on.

  11. GritzGirl

    Excellent microwave. Easy to use. Love the platinum glass front. The control lights on the front come on when needed but otherwise are not lit up which makes for a very sleek look. Great purchase to match my other Cafe appliances. Great price from Best Buy!

  12. Roberto

    This microwave is gorgeous. My wife and I absolutely love the modern design. The sensing functions work really well too.

  13. Missa

    Our first purchase of Cafe. We decided to upgrade our kitchen appliances, we splurged with the Cafe Glass line. Cooks everything quickly and pretty evenly. Love the steam clean setting, cup of water, a press of a button and it easily wipes clean. Love how sleek it looks, no handle and no buttons when not in use. We have only had it a few months so we haven’t used all the features and there’s a lot. I will say the exhaust fan is just as loud as our old one. Otherwise I love it!!

  14. Gthaas83

    A great microwave with a glass coating makes the front reflect like a mirror. It heats the food evenly and connects to Wifi, and will communicate with other Cafe appliances like certain ranges. My only complaint is that the exhaust fan doesn’t seem to suck enough steam out from the front two burners of my stove, occasionally causing condensation.

  15. Dman

    Looks great in our kitchen and best microwave I have ever owned.

  16. UTV20

    Was looking for a new microwave and found this one on display and got a great price on it. Definitely a nice microwave!!

  17. Greatpick

    I’m so happy with the way this microwave looks and functions. I have not had any issues

  18. Oleg

    Excellent microwave. It is an eye-catcher. Everyone makes compliments when visiting our house.
    Convenient to use. Operation is much quieter than our older GE microwave.
    Connected to WiFi just to have clock synchronized, but other than that we did not see any use of smart features.
    The front glass is a fingerprint magnet and see-through is very limited.

  19. Satisfied

    Beautiful microwave but manufacturer’s specifications indicated that the door would only extend 1/2″ past cabinet side when open 90 degrees. The door actual extends 7/8″. I have 3/4″ clearance on the hinge side from a wall, so it would not fit. I had to return it. Not Best Buys fault.

  20. mustgt

    What a great microwave excellent quality fast shipping

  21. TheIdealRealtor

    Fantabulous! Look amazing and elegant! Denfinitly a great investment for a Fancy and Techy Fashionsita and Dude. lol

  22. RandyO

    EVERYONE who enters my kitchen notices the microwave… it is a beautiful looking appliance and adds something special to the look of the kitchen. it works great too.
    One con is: because of the location of the handle you do leave fingerprints when opening the door

  23. MichaelS

    This Microwave works like any other microwave but looks amazing and add a touch of class to your kichen

  24. UshaR

    Bought this in 2019. Stopped working in 2022. I would not recommend this microwave.

  25. Danny

    This microwave looks absolutely stunning. I’ve never had a microwave like this. Cooks food to perfection.

  26. Feltis4

    Love the clean look! No handle visible look!
    Like the fact that the lighted panel disappears after a certain period of not being touched.

  27. jayp

    This is the microwave you want. Sleek, attractive, fully functional and easy to use.

  28. JHall

    Beautiful Microwave. Install was simple. A perfect fit! So good so far. I am so impressed with the look that I am going purchase the Cafe electric cooktop!

  29. JimB

    The Cafe modern Glass over-th-range microwave does it’s job. I have several complaints. The push buttons are not very responsive. I would expect if you touch a number or function for it to work not having to hit it multiple times. Inside needs to be a lighter color for easy cleaning. Inside light is worthless unless it is dark in the room.

  30. MarkP

    We were so looking forward to this microwave after our last one stopped working, but it has been nothing but disappointing. Save yourself the disappointment and frustration, and look for a different model/manufacturer.
    This microwave looks great, but that’s where the positives end. It takes forever to defrost anything; our temporary countertop microwave defrosted things faster than this one. You can’t pop popcorn in it, not enough wattage. Heating anything up takes much longer than it should, and the fan won’t hold the set speed if you are using it and warming something up at the same time. It’s also really frustrating that the control panel times out after a period of time, and it’s difficult to figure out where the fan button or light button is without opening the door to get the control panel to light up. Don’t waste your money on this microwave. If we could return it, we definitely would.

  31. Kahunamcd

    Great looking unit and performs well. Seems to be solidly built.

  32. SusieQ

    Love the GE Cafe microwave. I’m still learning about it but love it!

  33. Jackie

    Love this slick microwave! Matches my oven and refrigerator

  34. Mari

    Excellent product, easy to used and to clean ………..

  35. Sosa

    Overall great product. I highly recommend it to anyone. Makes the kitchen looks modern

  36. ZhangK

    Modern and sleek appearance. Easy to operate, great buy.

  37. Shag

    Great microwave Cool design matching the rest of the aKitchen appliances but a bit overpriced.

  38. DHRIII

    Very nice microwave, just wish it had convection capability for the price

  39. HalF

    Great microwave and awesome sleek look. Like that there is no handle and overall get lots of compliments. Functionally it works well with no problems. Used to get an error message when reheating but figured out that you need to have the food slightly vented so the unit can sense the steam. Would buy again. Best Buy delivery flawless.

  40. Javier

    Microwave goes very nice with all my appliances and is very stylish modern and efficient.

  41. MBJ7202

    This appliance is beautiful. It cooks fast and evenly. The only drawback is the glass door shows every smudge and finger print out there. If not kept spotless, it loses its sense of elegance. The quality and look is top notch but you must keep it clean.

  42. MatthewG

    Great product and very stylish. Our only issue is that the size from the outside vs. the interior is deceiving.

  43. CaroT

    Really beautiful I’m in love whit my purchase the color is so beautiful

  44. Rulerman

    Simple to use efficient cooks food great. Looks wonderful.

  45. RaymondM

    Sleek looking and otherwise meets all expectations

  46. RonnettaM

    Aesthetically pleasing microwave it is such an eyecatcher whenever I entertain guests. It wins in functionality as well. This is my first smart appliance. I downloaded the app and synced my microwave and wow, I’m impressed! I didn’t realize that this microwave will automatically turn on the vent after my food has finished cooking. I loved love love it!

  47. WandaA

    This microwave is a microwave beyond all microwaves

  48. GalinaG

    nice look, great color, easy cleaning, perfect size

  49. Notagamer

    Bottom line upfront- this microwave is dangerous for your life and health. It has a flimsy door and it keeps running even when the door is open. I called GE and the customer service guy didn’t really care. He says they will try to fix it. I reported them to FDA as it does not meet FDA regulations. A microwave should stop when the door is in the open position, there is a chance to cook your eyes or internal organs if you are close by.
    I bought mine in September 2023 and still waiting for a working door. I attached my microwave model number and manufacturing date stay away. I will update this review and Best buy when I hear from FDA and Safetyproducts . Please check safetyproducts before you buy any appliances. It is a government agency.
    Be safe. I am not surprised if they get a recall on this product soon.

  50. TimJ

    No protruding handles. Straight lines and glass give a simple yet elegant appearance. Touchscreen is hidden behind glass panel. This. Is. Perfection. Key features: WiFi and Scan Barcode cooking where settings are automatically set for desired dish.
