A:AnswerHi there, CG - Great question! We're finding that microwave JES1072SHSS is a countertop only model; it is not designed or approved for a built-in installation. There is not a trim kit available for this microwave model to ensure the correct venting of the unit. Thanks so much for checking! -Mikayla
A:AnswerHello and thank you for reaching out about these wonderful microwaves. We are always happy to help.
These two models are very similar, indeed. The biggest difference is the ability of the JEM3072SHSS to add an accessory, giving it the ability to mount to the bottom of a cabinet. The mounting kit can be found here: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/ge-under-cabinet-mounting-kit-for-select-microwaves-silver/7259101.p?skuId=7259101
Please let us know if you have any more questions. - JB
A:AnswerHi Jo, thanks for your question! Sound is more subjective. A noise to one person may be loud while to another it's not loud enough or not as loud as the other perceives it. You are able to turn the beeper on this microwave on or off by pressing the SOUND pad. If you're in another room close by, you should be able to still hear the end beeper for this microwave. We hope that this helps! Stay safe. -Michael

A:AnswerHello Patrick - Thank you for the interest in this amazing microwave. For countertop microwaves, we recommend 3" of clearance on the sides and top and 1" clearance in the rear. For pricing inquiries, please reach out to your local Home Depot. Keep in touch! - JB
A:AnswerHi there, Marge - Great question! If the coating is actively flaking or paint is peeling anywhere inside the oven cavity (including under the turntable) discontinue the use of the microwave and replace it. The microwave is not repairable. Thanks for checking! -Mikayla
A:AnswerHi maomao, thanks for reaching out! This model is actually meant to only be installed on the countertop. We would not recommend attempting to build this unit into surrounding cabinetry. We have not tested or approved this unit for that style of installation. The recommended clearances for this unit are as follows: 3 inches on each side, 3 inches on the top, and 1 inch in the rear. We hope that this helps! Stay safe. -Michael
A:AnswerHi there, JMP - Great question! The main difference between these two units is that JEM3072SHSS can be mounted under a cabinet. Thanks for checking! -MikaylaGEA
A:AnswerHi tre - Thanks for viewing GE Model JES1072SHSS! These microwaves are intended for countertop use and need adequate air clearance on each side, the rear and the top to function properly.
