  1. Steve

    Looks good. Easy to use. No problem with installing.

  2. Franswa

    I bought this just so my kitchen would match but I love it so much better then what I had. Does so much more then a regular microwave. I use this more then anything in my kitchen.

  3. TammyT

    Love that there is a dial for the cooking time. Looks awesome

  4. skippycat

    Cooks evenly. Like all of the different microwave options.

  5. Amylynn2019

    Great microwave for price. Has plenty of options and does what a microwave should

  6. kcanrah

    This microwave is very easy to use and matches the rest of the Cafe line great.

  7. Nontechs

    Very easy to use and understand how to use. I particularly like the button that controls the number of minutes to cook. Instead of entering the numbers, you dial the amount of cook time. Easy to use. Perfect food every time.

  8. Zencasa

    I love the look of this microwave, bought it to match our Cafe range. Fan operates quietly vs. our previous over the range microwave. Intuitive and easy to operate.

  9. Fruitlady

    Love my new microwave. It works very well and has Led lighting. You just have to learn how to program the nightlight and use the turn knob rather than hitting enter/start. Love the Bluetooth connection with the cafe range. My only wish is the lettering On the panel would light up or in a brighter white. Also missing the potato selection. It’s there but you have to look for it by using the dial. Well worth the price.

  10. JayJay

    We had the microwave for 3 weeks when we cooked potatoes in it, pressed the sensor cook “potatoes” and it cooked for 20 minutes. After that, the microwave wouldn’t function anymore. We called GE and they sent a service person come out under warranty. We had to wait 2.5 weeks for the appointment. He told us that the magnatron burnt out. It took another 3 weeks for him to order the part and come out to fix it. The wait for the microwave to get fixed was longer that the time we had the brand new microwave. Why would it break when it’s supposed to be “sensor” cooking? The microwave should’ve stopped when it sensed that it’s getting too hot to cook the potatoes. I would’ve returned but because we ordered this in January and didn’t have our kitchen remodel finished until February, past the 30 day return policy of bestbuy.

    Also, we bought the trims for the sides and they are awful fit. The assembly is wobbly and would not stay in place. The screws that came with them would not secure the trims. We had to find different screws and ended up using a nut to hold everything in place.

  11. Taz2

    nice appliance. The quality is less than our old unit but functions well and easy to use.

  12. Kind

    I like the Cafe classy appearance. We use the light, fan, and timer for dinner every night. It is large and able to hold larger bowls or plates.

  13. Mycafe

    We absolutely love this microwave! It’s high end and goes well with our other GE Cafe appliances.

  14. Roni

    Had a big dent in the top, obviously from factory as box was fine. Don’t like the extra steps involved and the fact that it is only 2000 watts.

  15. CarHD

    Looks nice and install was pretty easy. I like the dial which helps avoid fingerprints all over the touch screen.

  16. Kate

    Nice new microwave with so many options and cooking levels…love the 30 second warm up.

  17. Spacedude2112

    Looks good, control knob is odd, but not something to avoid.

    The wall mounting plate was not wide enough for the microwave to sit in it properly. One edge would bee to short to fit end to end. I was able to still secure the microwave to the wall/cabinet, but this was an odd issue to have.

  18. wevitts

    Nice unit ,works well , LED light takes getting use to . Attractive looks .

  19. Cafe

    Works great and is quiet, but I’m not sure I love the knob. Peopke said it rliminayes fingerprints, but you still have to use the display pad.

  20. debi

    it works fine not stuck on the dial control
    like the black interiir

  21. TenLbMoustache

    Easy to use, not too loud and loaded with features, this microwave exceeds expectations.

  22. JDRB

    Stylish and so far it works great. love the dial feature, less fingerprints on the keypad

  23. SKing

    A little confusing initially, but now ok. like light below.

  24. JW23

    If I could return all my Cafe appliances, I would. Did not want to wait for KitchenAid to be in stock but I definitely should have. The Cafe line is NOT anything special. Poor quality for the price. Sadly, the microwave is the nicest product in the entire line.

  25. JMaj

    Getting cool air coming in from outside thru the filters. Microwave is cold inside when I open door. Needed to call GE to get operating instructions.

  26. Bebe

    Great microwave. Looks beautiful above our Cafe dual fuel range and has surprisingly good ventilation system.

  27. NewCafeRange

    We use it mainly to re heat food. It works perfectly and is very user friendly. It is also easy to clean. It looks beautiful in the kitchen with our other Cafe stainless steel appliances.

  28. Navi

    We decided on the Cafe line which we thought were top of the line GE appliances but unfortunately what we got were average appliances with a fancy badge.

    Nothing really different with this microwave than any other brand. Fairly cheap feeling construction. No rack inside which is disappointing. Not a fan of the knob you use to program time. It is really not intuitive. I would have rather had a number pad. It has the same round turn table they have been doing forever that limits the size of what you are cooking to the depth dimension. I preferred the square turn table on my old Maytag that moved in a square so you could use nearly the full width of the microwave.

    It has decent power and performs as it should. I do like that it has the Bluetooth connection to the range which turns the light and the exhaust fan on when you turn a burner on.

    If you want to pay a lot for fancy looking average quality appliances, then the Cafe line is for you!

  29. Renee

    This microwave is very powerful and I especially like the defrosting feature. Unlike my old GE Microwave, this actually does defrost food very quickly. The knob dial is very easy to use.

  30. Troy

    This Café Over-the-Range microwave CVM521P2MS1 goes perfect with our convection range CES700P2MS1 with Chef Connect. We used the bump out kit JX15BUMPBB due to deeper cabinets. This positioned the microwave perfectly over the range. This was set up to recirculate the air back into the kitchen. The included charcoal filter removes odors and the vent fan does a great job removing smoke/steam from the cooktop. We were already used dial cooking from using our 15 year old GE Profile microwave this replaced. Chef Connect was easy to set up. Love the microwave vent and light coming on when we turn on a burner.

  31. CoreyR

    Great Microwave. Looks great, matches all of our other Cafe Appliances. It has a ton of room inside, easy to use. I enjoy the spinning dial rather than the number keys. The Bluetooth Chef Connect is great however it disconnects randomly, but is great for clock synchronization with Oven which has WIFI. So I never have the time wrong. But overall Fantasitc Microwave, and would buy again.

  32. Elle

    I bought this to complete my Cafe kitchen set. It does a little bit to learn the settings, but love the microwave so far.

  33. Loki

    great microwave, looks and works better than pictured; fast install by the geek squad

  34. Kencarissa

    LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  35. SarahB

    Very nice microwave to replace our older Cafe model that has been discontinued. This one seems more powerful and heats up food faster than the other one we had. This is on the higher price end but we are happy with this purchase.

  36. NasyikatI

    It looks really nice but when there is a steam, the microwave door getting blurry.
    I think the ventilation is not really good.
    And I didn’t get the ventilation filters. Contacted the customer service

  37. MikeM

    one of the best microwave I’ve ever used……………………………………………………………………………….

  38. Gringo

    Bought as a replacement for a 20-year-old GE Advantium microwave/convection oven. This is a great microwave (so far), and Best Buy’s installer put it in quickly and cleaned up including removing the old microwave. We never used the convection feature of the old one and we’re happy we just got the microwave. Good looking unit and matches our Cafe range.

  39. BillV

    Very pleased with the Cafe series of products.
    Classy looking and easy operation.

  40. Sandy

    So far, we think the microwave works as advertised–the correct size, and a nice exterior finish. Our only wishlist item is that they should allow unique time inputs for manual cook time–it only allows time increments in 15 second intervals. Through the years, we’ve learned that some things only need to be warmed for, say, 20 seconds, but we can’t enter that amount so we have to stand by the microwave and stop it from running a full 30 seconds.

  41. MargoS

    I purchased it along with the range so they would match however we don’t love the dial and it’s hard to microwave for times that are in-between 30 second intervals.

  42. Boby

    Good service, good price, very friendly personal, knowledgeable people, professional personal

  43. phillyd22

    Nothing to special about this item, its ur typical Microwave. I will say it is sturdy
