Overview
The GE JVM3160RFSS is a 30-inch over-the-range microwave with 1.6 cubic feet of capacity, 1000 watts of cooking power, and a two-speed 300 CFM vent hood built to replace an existing over-the-range unit.
A couple of buyers received units with shipping damage or minor factory assembly issues, so it's worth inspecting the unit closely on arrival before installing.
- 1.6 cubic foot capacity
- 1000 watts of microwave power
- 300 CFM two-speed venting system
- LED lighting and turntable on/off control
Who it's for
Fits someone replacing an aging over-the-range microwave who wants a mid-priced stainless model with decent venting. Less ideal if you're doing a brand-new hood installation rather than swapping into an existing cutout, since some buyers needed a second person or extra hardware.

- Direct fit using GE's drill template
- 1000-watt cooking power with auto and time defrost
- Two-speed 300 CFM venting for smoke and odor
- A few units arrived with assembly issues
