Replace 22 Year old GE Profile
Long life on previous GE microwave and expect we will be just as satisfied with this generation. Quieter and efficient with simple to understand controls.

    Quietly and efficiently does it's job
    I like that it has all the features I want and that it is a very quiet and efficient microwave and look forward to many years of service.

      Hanging kit makes it better than the competition
      We've only had the unit a few weeks, but it seems to be working well. The biggest draw to this unit was the ability to hang it under a cabinet. The cabinet hanging kit made the sale. One thing about these GE microwaves that I would like to see different is some kind of back-lit keypad. For an old man like me it is tough to see what button you're pushing unless under bright light!

        Mounting Screws Strip Out Easily
        This shallow depth GE Microwave Oven fits perfectly in an upper kitchen cabinet. The only issue with our mounting system is that we use the four threaded metal plates in the upper surface of the sheet metal cabinet. The 10-32 thread strips out very easily !! I suggest maybe 10-24 threaded inserts, for better holding power and less tendency to strip out.

          Good
          Good product that replace our old GE model. Took me about 30 mins to install.

            Excellent Built-In
            I first installed this model as a built-in in 1990. It has served us well for 33 year but has started to act up. So I bought this replacement. I'm THRILLED GE still makes it. It was an easy clean replacement.

              Reliable appliance when so many fail
              Have used this model microwave for over thirty years and love the compact size, efficiency and reliability. Every fifteen years (although working fine) it just gets a little worn out and “over used”, so we replace it.

                Quiet microwave!

                    Built-in microwave
                    Works as expected. Looks great as a built-in with trim kit.

                      Fits Perfectly & Does the Job!
                      We recently had our kitchen remodeled and needed a new microwave to fit in the space provided for the microwave. We had a heck of a time finding one we liked and FINALLY Hubby found this one! It works as great as our past GE over the range just smaller which is what we needed!

                        Space saver
                        Good features, nice look and space saver too. It has all the standard functions what a good microwave should have.

                          Too expensive
                          This is an exact replacement of my old GE microwave purchased in 2015. I searched every brand for a microwave that was as big but only had a depth of 13” or less. I was hoping after 8 years there might be another choice, but ,alas, this was it. 800 watts is not very powerful, but I have learned to adjust the times.

                          Hello, Thank you for making GE Appliances a part of your home. We’re glad you’ve been able to adjust to using a lower power microwave, but we’re sorry to hear that you were limited in options when it came to a model that would fit in your space. We will forward your experience to our product team, and we may introduce more shallow-depth microwaves in the future. Thank you for your review and please know we are here should you need any other assistance. -MichaelB@GEA
                            Our second GE Microwave
                            Love this microwave! It fit perfectly in our wall cabinet and looks and works great! Our first one lasted seven years so we bought the same model again.

                                We bought this original about 10 months ago and loved it. One day it would not work call G.E. warranty took great care of us and we replaced it with a new one same model. Would recommend G.E. as well as this microwave

                                  Perfect size!
                                  We really liked our previous GE spacemaker microwave and had to replace it with one that fit in the same spot. Unfortunately the price of the new one was much higher than other brands but we bought one anyway.

                                    Good product, but over priced
                                    Good product. My original one of this model lasted 10 years. This model is sized for upper cabinet built in. Was very common 10 years ago, not a normal size today. Today GE is the only one that makes this size. They must know this because the price for this small low feature model is much higher than a larger full feature unit. Supply and demand, I needed it, GE was the only one offering it! Still a good product and less that remodeling my cabinets.

                                      Besides fitting into the space where my old MW came from, I like how quiet and simple it is to use this new generation of ovens.

                                          Super Quiet when running
                                          Love the digital color of light on the control panel; super quiet when running; only thing is the door latch & release button are super loud & clunky!

                                            Fits perfectly in my cabinet space. Love the sleek design and the features. Stainless steel easy to clean and looks great. The only downside is the very cheap-looking trim kit that goes with this unit. Very different from the beautiful one for the previous model (metal vs plastic). I still haven’t installed the kit because its installation design is very strange. Although the unit looks open and unfinished, the microwave oven is great.

                                              This is the best microwave oven I've ever used. The way it heats a cup for water is absolutely breathtaking. Plus it can be installed. I'd give six or eight stars if I could.

                                                  I bought this to fit in a small built in opening and had to downsize from a larger microwave. It works great and I am impressed with the performance; especially the defrost feature . I don't miss my old microwave at all

                                                    The footprint of this microwave fit under a counter where an initially purchased microwave did not. Not only is the product sleek and refined in appearance it is a powerhouse in delivering all the options needed to accomplish any type of cooking task. Love it

                                                      Purchased this in 2021 in anticipation of a kitchen remodel. Post Covid every thing takes much longer. Finally got the cabinets & counters in Sept & Nov of 2022. Pros: It's a nice size, we don't miss a larger one Does what I need it to do, mostly reheat Looks good with other appliances Cons: Fingerprints easily The window placement is crooked, it's higher on the right than the left. I find that detracts from it and it looks low end which is annoying considering what it cost.
