Great depth for built in look
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great size to fit in standard 12 inch depth cabinets. Looks good in stainless steel. Fits a ~10 inch plate. Dont expect to heat a whole chicken. But leftovers works great!

Replacing a 40 year old Microwave.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is a nice functional Microwave. It is smaller than the one I had for years but sizes change over time and this is the largest one I could get for the space.

Only choice for my enclosure
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decent microwave, but underpowered for what they cost. Sadly I have an enclosed cabinet space made to fit previous versions of this model... so this was my only option. The most annoying feature of this latest model is when you set the timer and it tells you the time is up it only beeps once instead of continued beeping. Totally worthless.

Run! Run far away!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is easily the worst purchase that we have ever made! We purchased this microwave to fill in a space to appear customized as a built in. It is the most useless piece of equipment on the planet. It cannot even pop mini bags of popcorn. You have to heat room temperature food up for a minimum of 3 minutes. Also, to make things worse, it is more expensive than more powerful and useful microwaves on the market. GE is exploiting the customer with this one. It is also devastating that these companies make it so hard for consumers to return these useless products. Run! Run far away!

Mediocre oven for the $$$
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Terribly overpriced microwave. Build quality is mediocre. Max power is only 800 watts. However, this is the only oven that fits an existing niche in the kitchen.

The was the only microwave that fit.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was replacing an under-the-cabinet GE microwave and this is the only model that fit the space. It is a little pricey but not much choice as it is the only replacement that fit the space. Had to purchase new hanging hardware as the old ones did not perfectly fit the new model.

Fits perfect!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Only one that fits our opening! Used the previous model for 23 years with the exception of an over the range Kitchen Aid ($800 cost) that broke twice in 1 yr & 1 month (1 month after the warranty expired).

GE Profile Microwave
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this open box from Bestbuy. I can't complain about it. It's hard to find a microwave this size and decent cubic ft. It does seem to take longer to cook items though than my previous microwave.

It is what it is
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I needed to replace my previous GE Profile 1.1 microwave due to paint flaking off inside the compartment. This is the only microwave on the market that fits the deminsions of the cabinet that houses the microwave. It works as expected.

Limited power
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A good machine, but at 900 watts it takes forever. The unit it replaced would take a couple of minutes to reheat coffee. This unit thinks about it for three or four minutes and then takes another 4 to actually do the work. After having the prior (GE Profile) unit for 15 years before the sensor blew, we are having a rough time adjusting the cooking times. Learning anew.

Small microwave that’s easy to use
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I needed to find a microwave with specific measurements. I had a G.E., luckily this was very close to my old one. Doesn’t seem to cook as fast as my old one, but easy to use.

High performance and functionally rich.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice microwave for built-ins. Like the express buttons. Great performance. Had to buy exactly this model to fit in my space. My previous model lasted 17 years. This new model is slightly taller. Had removed mounting buttons (Mine just fits into a wooden cabinets) to ensure it fits well into the space. GEHugh end appliances (Profile series) still is relevant in increasingly competitive alternatives.... Always feel great to see American manufacturing doing well.
