GE - 2.0 Cu. Ft. Full-Size Microwave - Stainless steel

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.

Love the microwave, very quiet, big and spacious..

Great value and features. We like this much better than the two more significantly expensive Kitchenaid microwaves that we owned before. Reported reliability ratings for this model are encouraging as well. A bonus is I was able to use my Kitchenaid trim plate with minor modifications. Very happy with our purchase.

This thing is large and in charge you can cook anything you want

Display doesn’t work on a microwave that isn’t a week old.

Model number on Box is JES2051SNSS which was what was ordered.. Model number on Warranty card is JES2051SN4SS Serial Number: AS207178L Cost: $279.99 This microwave oven performs as expected from this well known brand. However, there are noteworthy and unexpected negatives: No printed User Manual. User must download and print 36 pages. The control features are diminished from what is advertised: 1. No HELP button 2. Beeper ON/OFF instead of Beeper Volume 3. No scroll speed control There are minor nuisance control panel Issues: 1. The display is somewhat occluded by masking which limits field of view 2. The control buttons are hard to press, especially for seniors or persons with long nails.

Great Microwave, really pleased with it. Cooks things evenly reheats beautifully

Our GE Profile went out that was only 4 years old. We we were looking for a microwave to replace it and thought of going with another brand. We needed one to fit into cabinet and be able to use the current frame we had after finding out the frame as $279 alone. We found out by reading reviews that there are others that have used this microwave to replace their profile and were pleased. Wel to say the least we are very pleased! It fits into the space our other microwave was in & we were able to use the same frame. The only thing that didn’t match up was the holes one the back of the microwave so we swapped out the backs and worked perfectly now. We love the new design of the curved back inside of the microwave too.
