What size range does it fit over?

It is a 30-inch over-the-range unit, sized to sit above a standard 30-inch range.

Does it have sensor cooking?

The microwave, a turntable ring and glass tray, and mounting hardware for over-the-range installation.

Our take on the GE JVM3160RFSS 30 Over-the-Range Microwave Oven

The GE JVM3160RFSS is a 1.6 cu. ft. over-the-range microwave that doubles as a vent hood for the range below. It covers the basics: two-speed venting, a turntable, preset cook and defrost settings, and a stainless finish over a black cabinet. It suits kitchens replacing a failing over-the-range unit on a budget. Against rivals it lacks sensor cooking, inverter power and convection, which step-up models from GE and other brands include. Owners rate it well overall, with venting strength and durability the usual complaints.
