    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!

    I love my GE microwave especially how it is looked, work very well making only quiet sound , fit for popcorn bags which I concerned most when I looked up small size of microwave (no where I could find reviews about how they fit with popcorn bag). I had never regret to get small size since I purchased on May, 2015.

    Nice Little Microwave

    Bought this to replace the big hulking noisy over-the-stove one that died recently. Our household doesn't cook in microwaves, only using them to heat small dishes of leftovers, heat water, or cook popcorn. This little microwave is the perfect size. I like that it's much more quiet than the one it replaced. It is a smaller wattage, so it does take a little more time to heat things up if you need them really hot, but only a little. It's definitely not a deal breaker. In all, a decent product so far. My one pause is that the button that opens the door doesn't feel very robust, and I worry that the spring mechanism wouldn't last very long if I weren't careful with it. households with rough kids might not fare so well if they mash the button overly hard to open the door. I think that with care, it will be fine though.

    This GE microwave works good for the size and power it packs. It fits perfectly where I wanted to have a microwave. Cost to size ratio is great if you need to save space in your home. Isn’t too loud either.

    Good for a small 700 watt unit

    Nice compact size for a unit that fits a normal size dinner plate and can fit on a small area of a counter. Replaced a Sharp 1000 unit that lasted for over 12 years and was the perfect Microwave. So far this unit works great (been using about 4 days a week since date of purchase) and have no problem with it other than when you close the door. I have to close it by the upper right corner, otherwise it displays a "FOOD" error message. Took a bit to figure out when I first used it how to fix the error code since there was nothing in the instructions manual related to it. Because of this oversight in the manual to indicate and that I have to close by the upper right corner, is why i'm giving 4 stars.

    This microwave oven is a perfect size for my use. I wanted a small size to minimize counter footprint, but with a rotating plate large enough for a dinner plate or a large paper plate. The 700 Watt allows its use while other 1200 Watt microwave is also used on the same circuit. While it takes longer to cook than the 1200 Watt unit, the food has more uniform heating. Very pleased with this purchase.

    I bought this microwave during the Black Friday sales. It’s quite small but perfect for what I need it for. I have limit counter space and it doesn’t take up a lot of room. It’s surprisingly powerful for its size, easy to program, use and clean.

    Very happy with it. Perfect size. Looks great vs other similar models. Great price. Was worried about only having 700 watts but honestly do not notice a difference vs our old 900 watt. We only use it for reheating and pop corn.

    My wife and I were looking for a microwave that was small enough to fit on our very small kitchen counter top and this fit the bill. The wattage may not be as much as bigger microwaves but this machine does the job very well and looks good too!

    Great fit above our countertop in the kitchen on a narrow shelf. We use it for reheating only; no cooking. Love the GE control pad...very intuitive and easy to use. The only problem was the first time using it the display said “food” and did not heat the water. I looked up the problem via Google and discovered the microwave displays “food” when it thinks the door is not closed. I opened and closed the door a few times and it has been working beautifully ever since. Really nice look and finish. I would definitely buy again.

      Hello Techie - Thanks for the kind words! We are thrilled to hear you are enjoying the microwave and appreciate you choosing GEA. We're glad you were able to resolve the issue with it not starting. It is designed to only run when something has been inserted to heat so it senses the door closing. If you were to place food in the microwave but not attempt to heat for several minutes, you would need to open and close the door so the unit knows food is inside. Hope this helps. Keep in touch! - John@GEAppliances GE_Appliances

    Best Compact Size Microwave

    Although compact at 0.7cu.ft and 700w size, it's good enough to heat just about anything really... Good features I like is secondary beep after a minute or so to remind you still got stuff in the microwave. The one touch is nice too, i.e. press 1 to heat 1 min, 2 for 2 min, etc.

    I bought this for my daughter's apartment. It's perfect for that - it's small but powerful and it's the right size for 1 or 2 girls. To warm stuff up on. It's not a huge oven I side, but it's powerful and easy to find a space for. This is probably a little small for a big, busy household, but for an apartment with 1 or 2 girls - it's perfect.

    Low-cost, high-quality 700-watt GE

    Simple, small, low-cost, high-quality 700-watt GE microwave oven is perfect in my 24-foot trailer on its dedicated 15-amp circuit for 110-120 volts. The rotating glass plate inside is 10 inches in diameter. The interior space at the door is 6.75 inches (6 3/4) high and 10.875 inches (10 7/8) wide. The interior height from center of rotating plate (slightly recessed at center) to center of interior top of oven (slightly recessed at center) is 7.5 inches (7 1/2) high. I primarily have used it to heat water for instant coffee in my large coffee mug (3 minutes); to reheat quick meals from the refrigerator (2.5 to 3 minutes); and to cook potatoes (about 15 minutes for three to four medium to large). Interior light at right side is nice and bright. It can do more than I currently demand of it, it works well, and it is a GE product that I trust. I recommend it for a solid, reliable, simple, small GE microwave oven that should function and last well enough to get your money's worth and then some.
