    Happy to have found
    The only microwave we could find anywhere to fit in our cupboard. I was happy to find something that fit as the whole kitchen had been designed mistakenly with a retired model. We didn’t know until it was time to purchase and found it was discontinued. This saved the day. I gave it 3 stars for the price. I have no idea why they have an 800 watt microwave that is this small priced this high.

      No contest. The vey brst
      This is by far the best small countertop microwave. GE is the only one to offer the option to stop the turntable for cooking thins in a longer than the microwave is deep.

        Major Design Flaw.
        The microwave works great but has a significant and in my opinion major design flaw. On my model, the operating controls are not illuminated and as a result are very difficult to see when installed in a cabinet. In order to select the desired operating activity, it almost requires a flashlight to illuminate the control panel.

        Thank you for providing us with your feedback. This microwave model was designed without a backlit control panel. However, we will be sure to pass these comments along to our product team for review, as we're always looking for new ways to improve our products.
          Nice built in look
          Just had the new microwave installed. Prior microwave lasted about 10 year. I like the look of the black model vs the stainless steel one.

            Perfect fit and finish
            Great replacement for my previous GE built in. Perfect fit no cutting required

              Good features... easy to use!
              Works okay for low watt microwave. Size was important to fit under cabinet.

                Best microwave
                Our new GE microwave works great and the size is exactly what we needed. It is placed on a shelf specifically planned for our new house. We didn’t want one in the lower cabinet or one that was built in so this was the perfect alternative.

                  I love the size!
                  It is the perfect size for what I need. Love the stainless steel front. It has a lot of features to choose from. Had a great experience when shopping,

                    MICROWAVE WITH THE PROPER DIMENSIONS
                    We own a 1984 GE Spacemaker microwave that is built into our kitchen cabinets. After 38 years we decided maybe we should see if we could find another microwave that would fit in the space. I discovered GE still makes a Spacemaker with the same dimensions. It was a bit pricey but it fits and if it lasts as long as the other I'm OK with it. The old one still works but takes 6 min. to reheat a plate of food. There is a learning curve with the new one as it is digital and the old one had two dials and a button. But we are pleased so far. Thank you GE. The only negative was that it took a month to get it. Luckily we were in no hurry.

                      Fits perfectly under a cabinet.
                      We had the earlier space saver model for 20 years, the inside paint started peeling so we replaced it with this newer model quieter and heats things quickly.

                        Perfect Size
                        This new low profile replaced original microwave low profile in dedicated cabinet space. We think old one made it 25 years! Old one worked great but finally gave out. So glad to get basically same microwave again. No need to learn new appliance. Love it!

                          Food reheat and sensor cooking is great.
                          This is our second one of these! Perfect for a two person household.

                            Our 9-year old GE Microwave died recently, after all those years of reliable, trouble-free service. Our Appliance Maintenance Agreement replaced it with the same model today (12/04/2023). We are so happy that it fit perfectly in our existing GE Built-in Trim Kit.

                                This is our second purchase of the GE Space saver microwave model PEM31SF4SS. If you’re looking for an excellent microwave that fits in a small space please consider this option. Great quality and looks great.

                                    Hi there, We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review on your GE Profile Series over-the-range microwave. We are truly sorry to hear that the microwave oven cavity has begun to peel and flake, as this is certainly not the quality that we expect. Peeling paint can be caused by frequently heating items which produce high amounts of steam. If the condensation caused by this steam is not wiped off directly after use it may cause the paint to lift over time resulting in peeling paint. This is not unlike the reaction you would find in bathroom with no ventilation. It can also be caused when food or liquid finds itself under the tray and we continue to cook without noticing it. The paint around the spot may then start to peel. Note: If there is any metal exposed on the inside of the unit, the unit should not be used. Exposed metal may cause the unit to spark and therefore could be a potential hazard. Your feedback ensures that our product design teams are aware of any changes or perfections we can make to improve the overall performance and convenience this appliance has to offer. Thank you for your review! -Devin@GEAppliances
                                      Perfect Fit!
                                      Perfect fit in our space and for our needs! Great for leftovers and reheating coffee. Fits right in the upper cabinet we designed for it.

                                        Rusted Out after less than 2 years
                                        Disappointed. Purchased new in 2021. In less than 2 years, the interior and metal door frame rusted, requiring me to replace the unit. Unit only used about 6 mo. of the year, as it is installed in second home. Poor manufacturing.

                                              Replaced a 21 year old GE!
                                              Our previous GE model (similar to this one ) lasted 21 years! Came back to the same model since it fits under the cupboard. Holes on one side were a little different but did get it to fit. I love the size and power of the microwave. The fact it’s off my counter in my tiny kitchen is the best! Love the quick buttons.

                                                So Nice We Bought It Twice!
                                                When we remodeled our kitchen in 2015, we needed a microwave that was slim and of relatively shallow depth to fit a particular spot. It's compact, but just large enough to be quite usable. We love the look, size and function of this model. Just right for the two of us. After 8 years, it did begin to falter about 6 months ago (the fan would sometimes get stuck 'on' when you opened the door although it was no longer cooking; also we noticed it seemed not quite as powerful as it had always been). So in Sept, 2023 we purchased an identical model, brand new. We like it!

                                                      We needed the specific size of this microwave to fit in the cabinet above our wall oven. We had previously ordered a black stainless trim kit to match our existing wall oven. We couldn't find a black stainless microwave in this size so we ordered this microwave in black. It looks great with the trim kit and wall oven!

                                                          This unit has a specific size for which there is no competition. Ones you design your cabinets you have to buy this model only. I made this mistake 23 year back so I have no choice other than buying this model by paying four time price than other consumer microwave model from GE. It's quality is no different than consumer version of counter top microwave. This is my fourth microwave.
