Compact, But Full Featured
I have owned this model microwave for several years. I had needed a microwave that would fit inside a 27-inch cabinet, and this model was ideal. I have the 27-in. trim kit also, so it looks attractive like a built-in appliance. Works without issue for everyone's microwaving and reheating needs in the house.

    Another Excellent Product
    This is our 2nd built-in product. What a great product!!! It looks wonderful and the unit fit perfectly. GE did a fantastic job of making sure that this product is interchangeable with the old product. No modification to the cabinets. GE makes high quality and reliable appliances.

          Perfect replacement
          This was the only replacement model that would fit our space without reworking existing cabinets. We had to do a little sleuthing to find the right trim kit, but finally got it. Looks and works great!

            Beautiful design !
            GE is well known for its quality and service. We also selected a beautiful GE cooktop to compliment our kitchen renovation. We had previously purchased an entire set of GE appliances fir our daughter’s kitchen do when it was time to update you ur kitchen we immediately turned to GE.

              GE Profile Microwave
              It seems to be working well. It was purchased to replace over the oven profile microwave that stopped working. Was unaware that a new frame was necessary to accommodate new one. Could not find replacement frame anywhere until contact was made with GE. One ordered at end of May that would not be available until mid to late August. A lesson learned. Do not care for control panel because it is often smudged with fingerprints otherwise pleased to have a working microwave.

                Not sure
                Third identical microwave since 2007, only one that fits my space and trim kit, so I’m kind of stuck with it. It works great until it doesn’t…

                    Serviceable, but not outstanding.
                    Honestly, the microwave performs perfectly fine. It’s just a little underpowered for my taste. I may swap it out for a higher wattage version.

                        Like the one I'm replacing but newer and better
                        The is a new and better model Microwave that I've had in use for over 25 years. My old one didn't have a turntable or sensor cooking like this one

                          I like that it’s not really big but still does everything you need! Looks great in my kitchen!

                            Great In-counter Microwave
                            We originally had this microwave installed 7 years ago and now had to replace it as it stopped working. We were so happy to learn that GE has continued making the exact same microwave. We picked it up at a local appliance store and installed it ourselves and were able to use the original trim kit. Thank you GE!

                              Great and durable product!!
                              I have been using this product from the last six year. Some how this product is so good and durable. No one can stay away without our Ge microwave. All five star to this product. Without GE microwave our kitchen is missing some thing.

                                The small space it uses hides the spacious interior Outside has great lines and looks very nice.

                                  Only microwave that fits in a cabinet space. Had same model previously for 15 years. The newer model is lower in wattage however runs well and seems to heat fine. Better looking model as well-added stainless!

                                    We’ve had this model MW in the past as it is small and fits is our small space. We just switched to stainless appliances and ordered a new one. Just wish it had more watts but that’s minor.

                                      Replacement/New trim kit
                                      Bought this to replace my 9 year old GE Profile microwave. Our old one served us well as it got lots of use. I will tell anyone that is doing an in cabinet replacement, the height of this microwave is about 1/2” more and therefore you will need a new trim kit.

                                        Finally, a compact microwave that has features like sensor cooking.

                                          Good Built-In, with some flaws
                                          Kudos to GE for offering a rare, good-looking, solid cabinet depth microwave - a rarity that you will pay for. It's a bit expensive for a basic functional microwave and the main selling point is that it can be built-in to cabinet depth. It has all the convenience features that I care about - quick time select with 30 sec add, power levels and rotating platter (that you can turn off), surprisingly good interior space for a small footprint. Solid performance albeit on the low power end. Cooking times are noticeably a little longer than my last oven. Fir and finish are ok but not perfect. The door gap hangs down lower than the right panel and creates a little discontinuity in the lines (see picture). The plastic surround deforms when you screw it against the cabinet face too tight - be careful. Overall, a solid performer and happy that I could free the counter space with a serviceable microwave that looks good as long as you don't look too close. I would recommend with reservations.

                                            We live on our boat and this space saver fits perfectly with a little modification to our cabinets. Works and looks great.

                                              We purchased matching set of fridge, dishwasher and this microwave. The color is perfect for our kitchen and since we do not use our mircrowave very often, we enjoy the smaller compact size of this model!

                                                  This is the best microwave if you need a built-in look. Hang under a 24 in wide cabinet that is 12 in shorter than the rest of the wall cabinets.

                                                    I have a very limited space and needed a small yet powerful microwave.

                                                          We where looking for something small to build into a cabinet and save some counter space. We wanted double ovens and didn't want to take that space for the microwave. This small unit does everything we need, has plenty of power, and takes up much less space in our kitchen
