Customer Ratings & Reviews

It’s okay. GE products are good back to the old day. I can tell more when I use it frequently

Nice enough microwave. However it came with a dent ln the top that had to have been done at the factory. They chose to sent the product anyway. It was not damaged in shipping as the box was intact. A discount should have been offered for the flaw, but one wasn’t, though I asked.

Beware of open box purchases. I received a microwave with a damaged part inside. I payed for an “excellent condition” device and got a fair condition device. Customer service WILL NOT provide any price adjustments over the phone or via chat, so the only options are to return the microwave, or exchange it in-store. No way to resolve this without wasting a bunch of time.

My GE MICROWAVE works fine for my one person home. So handy to have Power levels so I don’t overheat my food. Fits on top of my small antique metal cabinet that has a wood top. So glad I made purchase!

This microwave has not been working good at all. It is a piece of junk. Best buy should not be selling products like this to consumers. As you can see in the images, the microwave timer has ended and it was still going on. The timer is defaulted

Horrible!!! Started to rust out in a year. This pic is after a little over two years. Sad thing is this, so far, is the only stainless steel model that fits.

recently purchased the GE 0.7 Cu. Ft. Compact Microwave in Stainless Steel for my son’s dorm, and it has been a great choice. Its compact size fits well in small spaces, and the stainless steel finish looks sleek and modern. Despite its small capacity, it heats food quickly and evenly and offers various preset cooking options, which is convenient for quick meals. The controls are intuitive and easy to use, making it perfect for students. It’s also relatively quiet, which is ideal for a shared living space. While it may not fit larger dishes, it’s perfect for single servings. The price is reasonable for its quality and functionality. Overall, the GE Compact Microwave is a reliable and efficient option for anyone needing a small, stylish, and easy-to-use microwave. My son is happy with it

Extremely happy with this purchase. Microwave is stylish, compact, quiet while running and powerful. Has all of the functions I was looking for, express start, add 30 seconds, timer, etc. Love the sleek look with no handle sticking out. Is big enough for a full size plate & casserole. Definitely recommend!

This GE - 0.7 CU. FT. microwave was the perfect compact size for my counter top. The stainless steal front matches other appliances in the kitchen. The inside is large and the right size for a dinner plate. Easy to use and heats the food up to the correct temperature

Great microwave for a small kitchen. It does everything I need it to (which is mostly reheating and some fast cooking). It accommodates a standard dinner plate and is attractive. It has all the buttons I need readily accessible on the front. So easy and convenient! And the price was great too.

Nice high quality compact unit. Looks good and matches my GE Profile appliances. Fits very nicely on countertop below cabinets. Lower wattage than full size but more than adequate for cooking anything you want.

I'm a big GE product fan. This microwave is a solid product and in use daily. Easy to clean, has great power, and has had no issues. Fits on a cart stand in my kitchen next to my refrigerator

We purchased this microwave after we had our first baby 3 years ago. I wanted a small reliable microwave that would fit on a narrow buffet in our kitchen; one that had one-touch function for at least 1-minute heating; and most importantly, a MUTE option. Most microwaves have annoying beeps that are loud enough to wake a baby (at least mine). This GE appliance fit the bill, and it was simple. We didn’t care for special buttons for “pasta” or “vegetable” or “turkey dinner” (ha, I wonder if that really exists?) because we just don’t use buttons like those. This microwave does have “popcorn“ and “potato“ buttons which I don’t use; we mainly use the defrost buttons and the one-touch 30 second and 1 minute buttons, truthfully. You can change power level, which is useful for softening butter. The potential drawbacks to this microwave are that (1) it has a lower wattage than the bigger ones, so heating up food takes longer and it may not be suitable for cooking a large mass of raw meat (um, like a turkey?); (2) the physical dimensions are small which means it barely accommodates one of our dinner plates— definitely check the diameter of your plates; (3) being a little guy, this microwave is also lightweight, so sometimes closing the door on it will slide it backward a little; and (4) the latch on the door is a bit robust for such a lightweight oven, so one does have to push harder on it than on some ovens, and the sound of the door opening and closing is a bit jarring — test this in the store if you are sensitive to these things. Overall, it’s a great little oven, works fine so far, and the drawbacks don’t really affect us that much since we are moderate users (mostly leftovers and cups of coffee and tea... we don’t cook meals in it). GE makes a larger version of this microwave if you want a bigger oven - my parents have that one and it works great for them.

We were looking for a smaller microwave due to our very limited counter space. We're quite happy with the result. This model is ever so slightly smaller than the model from a few years ago, so we have a bit more counter space now than we had before the upgrade to this model. That's important in a small kitchen. If you have larger dinner plates (we do), they may not fit through the door opening (ours don't). But we have large bowls that fit just fine, so we use those instead to reheat meals or leftovers, etc. our dinner plates did fit through the door of the older model, but other than that minor inconvenience, we have nothing but positive experiences from our upgrade to this model. One touch cooking, reheat options, etc. all serve our needs quite well.

This is a great compact microwave for my small kitchen. It takes up very little room and ideal size, design, and color that suits my workspace. I have never used a microwave for much more that heating and defrosting and this one does the trick and more. I left off one star ... while a dinner plate fits on the carousel, it does not fit through the doorway of the microwave unless you tilt the plate on the side. So, either use a smaller plate or bowl or heat/defrost/cook something that's not going to slide off the plate :-)

A very good product all around...cooks efficiently, dials easy to operate, looks sleek, small but fits a dinner plate. Just what we wanted.

We had to do some searching, but we finally found a microwave that was affordable AND had the option of turning off the sound. (We returned the last one we tried because the beeping was so loud.) This unit has less power than others we've had in the past, sometimes individual frozen meals need an extra minute or two to cook completely. This would be great for a dorm or single person, it's perfect for heating up things and light use. If you're looking to actually "cook" in a microwave you may want a bigger/more powerful model. Personally I think it looks great and love the smaller size.

Great microwave. Easy to clean Stainless steel and a Space saver. Runs quite. I recommend this microwave. GE has been around for many years.

Has compact outside dimensions though it can handle a 10" plate on it's convenient rotating turntable. With 700 watts of power it takes about 1 minute longer (4 min) to heat a mug of water to a comparable level of it's larger 900 watt companion model. Not for large (high) items like a whole chicken or roast. Easy to use key pad, crisp door lever that pivots in easily when pressed. Perfect for reheating of leftovers and beverages but needs more time to cook those frozen meals adequately. Recommend using felt tabs on all four bottom contact points since the rear two are just rounded metal bumpers. Purchased this to replace the GE JES1097SMSS 900 watt .9 Cu. Ft. model (it's bigger brother) that failed after 6 months with a door latch interlock problem. Which required excessive slamming to get the interlock to function properly (light stayed on, turntable would shudder, and no power for key pad or heating function) otherwise a nice machine too when working.

Selected primarily for size and modern appearance. Best Buy delivery was excellent. Site is easy for online ordering. Received as promised on third day after order. Well packaged and secure. In use for about one month. Very satisfied with this workhorse. Power is well matched to unit size. Cooks/heats just as well/fast as the 17 year old unit it replaced. For example, makes a bag of flawless popcorn in about 90 seconds. This microwave has exceeded my expectations and purchased at a great price!
