GE Compact Countertop Microwave Oven, 0.7 Cubic Ft., 700-watt Capacity, 6 Auto Cooking Settings, Child-Lock Technology, Dorm Room or Apartment, Stainless Steel

I made this purchase concerned about the small size but I needed the shallow depth because it sits in an overhead cabinet nook. Which used to sit a very large GE profile perfectly. Unfortunately they stopped making the shallow depth profile in a plain regular microwave, for some reason they more than triple the price and added wi-Fi, why does a microwave need Wi-Fi? So I purchase this little guy put it in the large opening and absolutely love it. The excess Space in the opening I purchased a small shelf and use that space for my coffee pot and K cups because the microwave sits above my coffee nook. I’m going to make sure I keep up with the cleaning because I saw a few reviews where people mentioned rust inside. For me this microwave works fine because basically I only heat up soup or reheat coffee that is about the most use I give my microwave anymore since I purchased an awesome air fryer that does everything but wash dishes. I saw complaints about the power being not strong enough, but I have found that I use the same power levels as I used to use on my big GE profile to cook soups and heat coffee, this may be because my old profile lost power over the 20 years that I owned it. I also discovered that you can fit a full 11 inch plate inside this little guy if you want to reheat a plate of food, just need to tilt the plate on a small angle fits inside with plenty of room. I would think this microwave because of the small footprint would be fantastic for a college dorm set up. Another happy purchase.

I purchased this microwave because my previous 10 year old one no longer worked. I had a hard time trying to find a replacement, since these 0.7 cubic foot ones are the perfect size for my counter but all these newer ones have the "Start" button combined with the "Add 30 seconds" button. This GE one has them separate, which is what I wanted. Compared to my old one, this new one is very quiet. It is also easy to use.

Glass plate broken and customer service helped out great

This is a basic 700 watt oven, a good choice for a dorm or a small kitchen. It cooks evenly and has clear controls for instant 1-6 minute cook times, add 30 seconds, popcorn, and it's turntable is big enough for a dinner plate.You can find cheaper ovens but the GE name suggests that you will have a US company backing it if it breaks.My only complaint is its small window.

Microwave review.I know I am past the return option- I waited to open it and was out of town for a while, so that’s fair. But I believe it is important to put out my experience for anyone else’s information.Early on I wrote that I was concerned the even just heating up my coffee, the far back right corner of the top of the microwave would feel warm- no where else. Be aware, I have allowed much more that the required space all around the appliance. The response was that this was normal. Previous microwave must have been better insulated because that never happened, and it was a much higher power.A few time now I have encountered an issue putting in timed cook- I’ll start hitting numbers and the screen will just light up “food”. The first time this happened, it took a couple of times to get the input to clear. Had to totally back out (hitting pause/clear more than once).Most recently I cooked some ears of corn wrapped loosely in parchment (have done this before), had to break up the batch so didn’t do them all at once. Took out the first ones and put the next in as soon as oven was emptied. They cooked fine, but this time the entire top of the oven was warm. That is concerning- the first time it was three minutes for each of 5, so 15 minutes at full power. The second time it was 10 minutes- certainly nothing excessive.I called about a possible cookbook at one point, and was told you don’t supply one anymore, just the basic user’s manual, and that totally understandable, but there is no real chart for various foods and quantities, just the marked buttons for minimal help.All and all a disappointing result, and not comfortable trying to use the unit for the full range of possibilities it should have.Planning on buying someone else’s soon, but not even comfortable donating this for anything but absolute minimal use.Not a satisfied customer.G.C.Hirsch

After many years of service, my GE SpaceMaker II microwave needed to be replaced. Unfortunately, the line has been discontinued by GE. They offer one model that's close to the dimensions, but the size would not work well for the space I have (built-in shelf). While there are lots of compact microwaves, the issue is the depth -- most are too deep to fit on a wall shelf.This has the proper depth for sitting on a shelf without issue provided that you use a flat pig-tail adapter so that the plug doesn't jut out and prevent the microwave from sitting close to the wall. The width is less than the nearly 24 inches of the SpaceMaker, but I filled the empty shelf space with a storage cannister that I found that matches the microwave.The microwave itself is a basic model that has few bells and whistles. I only use the microwave to reheat leftovers, and this does a fine job of that. Heating is even, and the 700W, while low powered compared with larger microwaves, gets the job done just fine. The controls are easy to use and are very similar to the SpaceMaker controls, which was a plus for me. The fit and finish are much better than other compact microwaves I looked at. It will fit a full-size dinner plate without issue.It's not a perfect replacement for the SpaceMaker, but it's a workable one. It provides good functionality as a basic compact microwave, looks much nicer than you would expect for the price point, and is easy to use. A very good value for the price, especially if you can catch it on a price dip. Five stars.

This is a small but mighty microwave. It cooks food thoroughly according to frozen food package directions. Easy to clean.

I needed a small microwave and this was one of the few options. It's been OK, but it's VERY under powered. Best have a lot of patience if you buy this microwave. Other than the lack of power, it's been fine.
