Our old built in microwave, a GE Profile model developed problems with the soft touch buttons and needed replacement. Because of size requirements to fit in the same space and the overall reliability of the old unit we bought this GE model as it is the replacement for our old unit. This model is very slightly wider so it fit a little more snugly and it was a little taller requiring the cabinet to be modified. It looks great installed and works very well. It is quieter than our former unit and the soft touch buttons are a little stiffer to push. The turntable is slightly smaller as well but that has not been an issue. The only complaint I may offer is the control panel is not back lit and is hard to see when the room is a little dark. Beyond that we have no other complaints and have been happy with this purchase.

Attractive set up, fits in nicely within the cabinet. Ease of operation is excellent. Heats evenly. Quiet operation. Reasonably priced.

Sleek modern design, quiet quality performance. Spent $1,200 on a Kitchen Aid brand that didn’t fit the new cabinet space so “down graded” to GE Profile. Love love love the unit and the $1k savings. Many cook features, very quiet, and fast / powerful for 800 watts. Love it! Buy it! You won’t regret it.

This microwave replaced a 1988 GE Space-Maker II that had been a loyal and faithful kitchen companion, I have a very small kitchen and I like the fact the old unit could be mounted under the cabinet. I was afraid I could have find a unit that would do that anymore. The GE Profile PEM31SFSS does! Very happy with the look. I had to order the hanging hardware. When the hardware arrived, I spent a number of hours trying to install the unit. It took a while, but I was happy with the result. The microwave does everything I want it to do. What more can you ask? The only thing I did not like was the price. I'm not sure why it cost so much. As far as I can tell, it does not have any features that are special, other than the size.

The microwave oven works great and it is quiet while cooking. That said, it was kind of expensive. We bought it because the size/dimensions worked for us. We also bought the under cabinet mounting kit and we paid a technician to install the microwave under our cabinet.
