Food still cold/undercooked
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Looks great but leaves food an undercooked. When following directions on food package, you may add another 20% to the cooking time. May consider returning,

Posted .We are sorry to hear you are having this issue with your new microwave. This model has 950 Watts, so as long as your power level is set to 10 it should be heating up your food completely. Please review page 8 in the manual regarding your power level settings.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It works. However this one was the second one I got. First one was defective so I took it back. This one seems to be worse far, but still skeptical
No, I would not recommend this to a friendPopcorn button stinks/no sensor
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.All the so called cook buttons that are suppose to sense your food DO NOT. They go out of their way to talk around the fact that all the buttons are just preset my time and that it does not have a sensor to self adjust cooking time or temp/power. Popcorn always under cooked or burnt because as I said before, NO SENSOR. IF ALL YOU WANT TO DO IS SET THE TIME AND GO IT DOES THE MINIMUM JOB BUT IF YOU WANT A SMART UNIT WITH PRESET AUTO COOK OR AUTO DEFROST THAT ACTUALLY ADJUST IT ITSELF BASED ON A SENSOR, FORGET ABOUT IT.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had this microwave before and it lasted me approximately 7 years, the only reason I had to replace is because the door would not open. In searching for the same one, because it is so great, Best Buy had it in stock and at the lowest price. This GE - 1.1 Cu. Ft. Microwave (Model:JES1145DLWW) is easy to use, powerful for it's size and doesn't take up a lot of counter space. I would definitely recommend.

Nice countertop microwave
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good microwave for the price. Hard to keep the stainless portion clean and without fingerprints and doesn’t heat as much as my previous microwave.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing microwave that’s affordable. Functions properly.
I would recommend this to a friendsub standard
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have all GE appliances and this did not cut it initially it was $120 then i went back and price increased to $150 my biggest problem is it doesn't warm food up evenly and internally unless you run it for like 5 minutes. I swear you would think buy now in 2021 tech would offer a decent solution however this is cheaply executed product, i missed the return deadline so Im stuck with it.

Posted .Hi - We are sorry to hear you are unhappy with the GE microwave you purchased due to long or uneven heating performance. We apologize for any inconvenience this may be causing you. There is a performance test you can run to determine if the microwave is heating properly. Please follow the below steps to test the performance of your microwave:--
1) Place a glass bowl (preferably a 2qt. glass measuring bowl) with 1qt. of water in the center of the microwave cavity. The water must be 59-75 degrees Fahrenheit (15-24 degrees Celsius).--
2) Heat the water for exactly 2 minutes 30 seconds on High (this is the default setting). --
3) A temperature rise in the range of 28-40 degrees Fahrenheit (15-22 degrees Celsius) indicates that the oven is cooking properly. -- If you determine the microwave is not heating as it should please call GE service at 1-800-432-2737 to discuss your options under the one year warranty. Kind regards - Vikki@GEA

Don’t love it but it does the job.
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had this microwave a little under a year. Very disappointed at the fact that the number panel is peeling off. Other than that it works great.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The microwave works well but the door button sometimes doesn't open the door until you apply so much force that the microwave itself moves.

No, I would not recommend this to a friendDamage item on brand new box
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This has been the worst experience I've had so far. When I picked up the microwave, the box appeared to be damaged, but the employee assured me that it was brand new. However, when it is opened two weeks later, there is a large warp on both the side and the top of the microwave. Since it was a gift, it was extremely embarrassing when the recipient pointed out the warp.
