New Under the Cupboard Microwave
This new "little" microwave is just what we needed. Satisfactory for small needs.

    This microwave was purchased to replace a Spacemaker 2 which, to my great disappointment, is no longer made. NO comparison. This is smaller; turntable keeps falling off indentations when something is removed, very weak, tinny sound when door closed. DEFINITELY not recommended!

    Do NOT recommend!
    I was not thrilled with this microwave from the beginning because it does not heat food well and the door closure is so loud. The deal breaker is that at 2.5 years of minimal use it is rusting on the inside despite being kept very clean. Also, its ability to heat food has only gotten worse during that time. GE is not what it used to be.

      Small and efficient
      Works great and gets the job done. Wanted a smaller countertop microwave that looked good and heated as well as a larger model. I have a GE wall oven that has to be at least 30 years old so needless to say I trust GE appliances. I plan to replace my dishwasher and fridge with GE appliances when I can afford to do that. I might keep the old wall oven. It still works great and looks good.

        GE 700 Watt under-the-shelf Microwave
        Love our under the shelf microwave. Same model as our previous microwave. Definitely a space saver.

            Too Small Replacement Microwave
            The oven is, and will be fine, but I would have preferred that a 1,300 Watt unit like my old one had been available. Certainly would have been willing to pay for the extra size.

              Good Job
              It took me a while to get use to all the settings and codes, but once I did understand these features my food came out very nice. My other GE microwave was very old and didn't have such features to help secure the best reheating situation for the different kinds of food.

                Perfect for my needs.
                I have only had this item for a short time, so I really can't comment on its performance. However, it's not easy to find a small under the cabinet microwave so I was very pleased to find this one. It is attractive, the controls are easy to use, and it appears to be well made.

                    Doesn’t last more than 2yrs
                    Works great but after2 yrs the past 3 same microwave failed. I have to keep buying same one as you’re only mnfacturer making small under counters & that’s the only space available in my small kitchen. Either door failed to lock or motor burned out or it just stopped working!! Plus, price has escalated.

                        I love it! Does the job! It’s a nice, little compact microwave.

                          Small but not mighty
                          Great size for under cupboard but not much power. My last microwave had so much more power.

                            Perfect size and works great!
                            I don't have much counter space so this compact microwave is perfect! It's works well for warming up and defrosting meals and drinks and hardly takes up any space. I kept my larger microwave/convection oven because not everything fits into this small one.

                              Great for small RVs
                              The ONLY compact microwave that you can mount inside an RV with an undercabinet mounting kit. THE ONLY ONE.

                                Nice and small
                                Just what we needed, something small that would fit under our spice cabinet. Great for heating up products, although it does have a few less watts then a standard size microwave.

                                  Hangable Microwave
                                  The main feature of this microwave is that it can hung beneath a cabinet to save counter space. Based on my kitchen layout it is the only microwave that works for me. The previous one lasted 8 years. If you are not going hang the microwave GE has a countertop model that is much cheaper. I would look at 900-watt microwave instead of this unit. My full-size dinner plates do not fit.

                                    It saves counter space!
                                    This is the second time I am buying this product. It is the perfect size for my needs and it can be mounted to suspend under the cupboards. Since my counter space is very limited this feature is very important to me. I like that I can silence all bells and alerts. It is very easy to operate. I like the 30 seconds more feature. All in all I am very satisfied with this product.

                                      Seems to work very good. We haven’t had it long enough to be able to give a very complete review.

                                        Nice under the counter microwave, not super powerful, but it does warm products up.

                                          Only Choice in Segment
                                          Looking for a small under-counter mountable microwave yields very few results. After looking at all the options, this unit came out on top of our list. It has a decent feature list, is sold by a major brand, and overall a decent looking microwave. We microwaved popcorn in it (probably the top item for this segment) and it cooked well. However, even though the unit has a turntable, the popcorn bag was too big and stopped spinning due to the small size of the inside of this microwave. I'm not sure if this could be improved, due to the small form-factor. Overall, the best option for the size and category, but it could be improved.

                                            High quality and perfect dimensions made the purchase a “no - brainer”.

                                                Works fine, like that you can turn off the sound, don't like the location to open up the door. It should be more to the right. The control buttons could be easier to read, also. We are seniors.

                                                So much more user friendly than my former microwave. Nice compact size. I'm glad I made this choice.
