We had a GE Profile 2.0 cu. ft microwave (PEB2060SMSS) that, after 14 years, decided it had popped it's last bag of popcorn. So, given our space, we started looking for another GE Profile the same size; those don't exist (Profiles now 2.2 cu. ft). However, we found this non-Profile GE that's the same size. We initially viewed this microwave in store and quickly realized that this microwave is not just the same size, it is in fact the GE Profile we bought in 2008 just without the Profile name. The door and controls have a different look, but the rest of the microwave...every single detail...is the same. And, though the control panel looks a little different, the functions/buttons are the same as the old Profile version. The biggest differences are that the stainless in the new version is much much thinner and the display is green instead of blue. Why does this matter to you? Well, if you are replacing a cabinet installed 2.0 cu. ft GE Profile with a trim kit (GE JX2030SMSS in our case) and are looking to replace it without breaking the bank, this microwave will fit like a glove. We reused our old 30 inch trim kit with this "new" microwave just fine. FYI. The trim kit alone for the new Profiles costs more than this microwave. Before you jump out of your chair and run to buy one of these, be aware that GE says that this rear-vented microwave is not supposed to be installed in a cabinet. This may be a liability related decision on GE's part, but since we used this design intalled for 14 years without issue installed with the GE trim kit, we decided it was safe enough to use. One final note is that the trim kit we have included a vent duct installed on the side of the microwave where there is a vented opening. When I opened up the old microwave I found that there is nothing behind that vented opening and that the only venting in reality is to the rear. While I would give our old microwave 5 stars, I'm only giving this one 4 stars because the stainless trim on the door and controls is really thin and cheap. In fact, even though the box it was in was in perfect shape, there are small dents in the stainless of both the door and controls. On the one we saw in store, the door did not align properly.

Bought this online on a Sunday and the microwave arrived at my house Tuesday early afternoon - great shipping time! It is great that the old trim kit fits.........our microwave from 2011 was a GE Profile 2.0 cu. ft microwave (model PEB2060SMSS) that was a "built in" installed with a trim kit. With trim kits being about $225 I was hoping to find another GE that would fit using the same trim kit - so I bought this model (JES2051SNSS) and it fit perfectly with the old trim kit. The website says a new trim kit was needed but it was wrong. Even the screw holes in the body of the microwave were in exactly the same place! Thank you GE for keeping the compatibility from year to year. The photo in the cabinet is the new one installed; the others are the old one. Only had it for a few days but looks good, almost the same as the old one, and it works well
