The GE 1.7-cu ft Over-the-Range Microwave is a highly rated, mid-tier appliance that focuses on precise cooking results through sensor technology and versatile venting options. This model is a popular choice for those seeking a balance between high-end features and a traditional, easy-to-clean design.

• Sensor Cooking Controls: Automatically adjusts time and power levels by sensing the steam and humidity emitted from the food during the cooking process. This prevents overcooking or undercooking common items like potatoes, popcorn, and reheated plates.
• 1.7 cu. ft. Capacity: A spacious interior that accommodates large glass bowls and 9x13-inch casserole dishes, making it suitable for family-sized meals.
• 1,000 Watts of Power: Provides 1,000 watts of cooking power to ensure food is prepared quickly and efficiently.
• 2-Speed, 300 CFM Venting System: An integrated exhaust fan that offers two speeds to effectively remove smoke, steam, and cooking odors from the range below.
• Melt Feature: A specialized setting designed for the worry-free melting of delicate ingredients like butter, chocolate, caramel, or marshmallows without burning them.
• Turntable On/Off Toggle: Provides the flexibility to disable the rotation of the 11.5-inch glass turntable. This is essential when using oversized rectangular cookware that would otherwise hit the interior walls.
• Weight and Time Defrost: Offers two ways to thaw frozen food. Simply enter the weight for automatic setting of optimal time/power, or manually set your preferred defrosting time.
• Upfront Controls with "Express Cook": Features a 1-to-5 minute "Express Cook" option—simply press a number (1 through 5) for immediate cooking at that minute interval.
