GE Profile - 2.2 Cu. Ft. Built-In Microwave with Sensor Cooking and Glass Touch Controls - White

It looks fine over my wall oven, which is a different brand. I am still getting used to it, and so far I have only one complaint: I don’t trust the “Sensor Cooking” buttons. This is based solely on my attempts to reheat cold mugs of coffee. Instead of being reheated, the coffee ends up literally boiling hot. So hot that oven mitts need to be used to pull the coffee mug out! In fact, through trial and error I have discovered that it just takes 25 seconds on “cook time” to reheat my coffee in a mug. I don’t trust the other “sensor cooking” buttons to bake a potato or a vegetable, for example, so I’m not using them. I’m keeping a really close eye on the Defrost button, too.

We bought this to replace a similar model that had the stainless steel trim. The old one just started failing from time to time (would spin, but it would not heat). This one has virtually the same features. It did require a new mounting setup, but we were able to use the old "stainless" outer trim (and it looks good). Installation was not difficult, but you will want to take a little care to make sure the mounting brackets are properly positioned. It heats very well (at least as well as the last one), and it's not at all noisy. The buttons are very responsive. The only problem we have is that it is difficult to read the labels on the buttons. At first glance, you would think it would be clear, but it's only clear if you are pretty much looking straight at it. Ours is mounted under the counter, so we have to crouch to read them. The old one was not as difficult. Thankfully, they are in the same layout, so we were used to their position.

This is the replacement oven for my 13 year old GE Profile built-in microwave with two matching ovens. It works as advertised and I am happy with it. However, GE has changed the style and the appearance of the microwave and it has minor differences from the two built in ovens. This one is square at corners and it does not have the curvatures at the top of trim like the ovens. The built-in ovens have white digital clock numbers. This one has green digital clock numbers. This was the best match to my two GE Profile ovens. The new trim kit is plastic and covered with a thin product that looks like stainless steel. The trim kit was also an additional $240. The old trim kit would not work with this microwave oven. The screw holes do not align. This was the best match to my two GE Profile ovens. I installed the microwave oven. The instructions were ok, just follow them carefully to get all screws to align with holes. Recommend having two people for the final install-one to hold the microwave and one to plug the cord into the back of the cabinet.

The 2.2 GE Profile Microwave works great for our cooking needs. We had the installers come out 3 to times and they worked diligently to provide us excellent service. The new model of Profile is very satisfactory since it makes little to no noise. Moreover we like the colors and the sleek design of the cabinet. Since value is our goal we liked the moderate price of the microwave. Thanks

Bought this model to replace a GE 2.2 cu.ft microwave. The original GE lasted 8 years and installed as a set with a wall oven. An add-on trim frame made the microwave match the oven. The original frame would not work with the new microwave which was an extra expense. The chrome door of the original was not available as a choice with the new model so we elected for dark gray door. The microwave and the trim frame have a cheaper, flimsy feel compared to the originals. The new microwave omits the GE name badge on the door. We miss that name badge to slam the door shut to avoid fingerprints. GE did a good job simplifying the control panel which makes the oven with more usable cooking features, e.g. the Popcorn button works well. The interior of this oven is dark gray and starves the interior light -- you really can't watch the food cook by peering through the window. But, overall we are glad GE still makes an oven and a frame so that this oven appears as a set to fit our cabinet space.
