About

The GE JVM6175DFWW is part of the Microwave Ovens test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, Over-the-Range Microwave Ovens models like the JVM6175DFWW are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below.

Heating evenness: A high score means the microwave heats food evenly without hot or cold spots. A top-scoring model warms center and edges alike, helping heat foods like leftovers evenly.

Defrosting evenness: A high score means the microwave's automatic-defrost program thaws food evenly without partially cooking or leaving icy spots (we test using frozen ground beef). A top-scoring model thaws meat uniformly and nearly completely, with some models fully defrosting the food.

Speed of heating: A high score means the microwave heats quickly. A top-scoring model shortens cooking and reheating time.
