   Badly designed microwave and filter., May 28, 2009

   This review is from: GE JX81C Microwave Recirculating Charcoal Filter

   I bought this filter for my GE JVM1540 microwave. ABT shipped it quickly.
   My microwave didn’t come with a filter when I bought it, so this is the first time I’ve used one. While installing it, I found a fatal flaw- the microwave blows air out of two ducts on the front of the microwave, but GE only provided the capability to install a filter over the left one. So you’re only filtering half of the exhaust. Actually, I think you’re probably filtering less than that- after I installed the filter in the left duct, even more air was exhausted from the right duct than before (I’m guessing the wind resistance of the filter causes air from the left duct to back up and flow out the right, bypassing the filter completely).

   I don’t see the point in buying a filter to filter only a portion of the air coming out of the microwave. And I can’t believe that GE let that design flaw slip through.
