Looks good and sounds ... VERY quiet
Looks great with the trim kit. Goes well with our other GE appliances. Trim kit wasn't the easiest installation, but I'm no pro and still got it done in one evening. VERY quiet microwave. Performance great so far. Fits in the space if the older model (after creating an extra inch of depth to work with).

    Quiet microwave!
    The microwave works great and is very quiet. Although we would have preferred a sleeker design, the features sold us. Very quiet and runs great!

      Replaced a still-working 14-year-old GE Spacemaker
      We were doing some updating in our kitchen and decided to replace our built in 14-year-old Built-in GE Spacemaker microwave. We looked at other small MWs but the appearance of the new model, and the good luck we had with the old model, made our decision easy to buy another.

        Worst appliances I ever bought!!!
        We recently purchased all new GE kitchen appliances in the slate gray. Words cannot express how unbelievably disappointed we are with all four of our GE appliances. Let me start by saying there was so many things wrong with the oven, it was returned. We ended up purchasing a totally different oven. Second, six weeks into owning the microwave I had to have a repairman come out and fix it. It is still not working properly and makes a very loud sound. I was told it has nothing to do with the installation and that's just how the microwave sounds!!!! Third the finish on the products is so thin and stains so easily it is a joke. The dishwasher has fingerprint stains on the front and some odd dark dots that will not come off. Our frigerator has a scuff on the door and the top of the microwave has some stains on as well, that I can only assume came from steam??!!?!!.

            Perfect size!
            I love the shallow depth and optional built in trim kit. With some minor modification/fabrication, I was able to install this into a standard12 inch depth "over the counter" cabinet purchased from one of the big box home improvement stores. The trim kit gives it a nice professionally installed look.

              Perfect Size
              we ordered this microwave specific to our needs. We had to find an option that was built in but small enough to fit in an eye level cabinet configuration. We wanted the look of a built in but the option to still have a coffee station before and use of our countertop. This was the perfect option as we only use our microwave to reheat coffee or a plate of food.

                  Very Quiet
                  It is very quiet and looks great with my other slate ge appliances my only issue is my cabinet is very deep and I feel there should be a deeper microwave as well this one is very shallow and actually was 50$ more then the other one we wanted. It would’ve fit as well but there isn’t a trim kit for it.

                    Holes not inline with previous model
                    I read that this model was the replacement for my old microwave, the holes didn’t line up with the old one making it more difficult to install

                      High quality... and the right price, too!
                      This is our second GE microwave, and we love it! It is well-designed, sleek and meets all of our needs in the kitchen. The price for the unit is great, too!

                        Replaced an older GE space saver microwave with this model. Fit perfectly and works great. Extremely quiet and looks nice.

                          Our microwave was about 10 years old and quit. We got the new one and I love it. It's much quieter than the old one. Also larger inside.

                              Very nice style. It is the perfect size and has all the features we wanted. Price was very reasonable given the quality.

                                Fantastic microwave!
                                I purposely chose this microwave for its unique under mounting option! This is the only microwave I could find in this size that had the under cabinet mount option. Turned out great!

                                  Fit perfectly into spot of old microwave, which we thought would be a big problem in custom made cabinets. This is the quietest microwave ever made! We thought it was broken, then realized it just doesn’t make noise when running! Could have more power, but gets the job done regardless! Matches all our other appliances perfectly!

                                    Good, but not as good as discountinud PEM 31 SMSS
                                    It works fine, but I wish: 1. inside light was brighter. Can hardly see what's inside, e.g. is the oatmeal about to boil over. 2. when the timer gets to zero, the sound would repeat periodically, just like when cooking is done, rather than only one time. 3. the 27" trim kit (JX 827 SFSS) would be flush with the cabinet (like my previous trim kit JX 827 SS, from 2008) rather than stick out a full inch.

                                        This unit replaced Jem31sfss. The door on this unit seems light and sounds cheap and tinny when closing. The keypad is dark and requires too more force to operate. The only reason I purchased unit was it needed to fit into a specific space. Unit is overpriced

                                          A lesson in frustration.
                                          This is our 3rd GE undercounter microwave in the same application. We know that any appliance never lasts forever. However... The first was installed by our kitchen remodel contractor. The second came with hardware but no mounting template and holes were different. The 3rd came without hardware or a template, and again, the pattern was different. The unit fits into a VERY tight space. We were finally got it securely mounted, the door failed to fully open because it jams into the cabinet to the left.

                                              Looks Great-Works Great!!
                                              Being as our old microwave died after 15 years of constant use -- this new model by GE has brought the kitchen into the modern age in both style and function. It was necessary to replace both the microwave and oven because the old one was one unit -- but we determined that we would buy separate units to preclude the same conundrum should one or the other ever fail again. Doing so did require some cabinet modifcation during installation -- but the trim packages actually compliment the appliances appearnce -- so we were not bothered by this fact. We went with the stainless steel finish and other than the frequent wiping to preserve the "new" appearance -- everything functions well and performs fine with the different features that we have used thus far. Very happy with the new GE products in the kitchen and the envy of my neighbors in terms of the updated look the appliances have provided.

                                                  We just purchased a new spec home with this GE microwave installed by the builder. It is a little small for our needs but functions very well. I have owned GE microwaves in the past and have never been disappointed.

                                                    Works well, quiet, looks great
                                                    Although very expensive, this microwave fits our needs perfectly. At 800W, it is lower power than our 1300W previous microwave, but it’s nice not to constantly overcook everything. It is the quietest microwave I have ever heard and has great features, including a good defrost setting. The frame (costs extra) makes it fit into the space perfectly with no problems with heat and ventilation. It has plenty of interior space, so I don’t miss my larger microwave. Finding a microwave that fits a shallow upper cupboard, but meets our cooking needs was difficult, but this is perfect!

                                                      Very Quiet / Great Sensor Cooking Features
                                                      This was a replacement for the previous GE model. It fit perfectly in the exact same cut out cabinet space with the corresponding trim kit. Only complaint is that push button to open door is a bit sticky. Hopefully will loosen up over time.
