Perfect microwave
We have used five of these in our office building and they work great. And being able to hang them under the cabinet saves so much space.

    It's cute, white, and light-weight
    I have a very small space a micro and this little gem fit the bill perfectly, It's compact, precise, and light-weight which really helps as I'm a bit elderly.

        GREAT
        So far, so good on my new GE microwave. It was a replacement for my old one that was 37 years old. I had to have a microwave that had an attachment, so it would fit under my kitchen cupboards. This model had it!

          Great features and stainless steel
          My previous GE Spacesaver microwave oven lasted 15 years and is black. The new GE Spacesaver installed well in the under cabinet location and is stainless steel. Now it matches all of my stainless steel kitchen appliances. It's a win win situation for me

            Fits our needs wonderfully!
            This little machine works great for us! I love that I could hang it from my cabinet to keep my countertop available for other things (had to purchase kit separately).

                    Worst microwave ever !
                    Paint started peeling first on outside bottom its in first pic , then it spread to under turntable, the microwave safe plates get hot, yes im still using because i couldn't afford to get new one . This microwave has only been used about 6 months it was new out of box. I kept trying to get orange to wipe off then realized its Rust,! Ive never seen this happen.

                    Hi there, Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. So sorry to hear about the issues that you've had here with the inside of your microwave. Know that one of our agents will be reaching out via email soon to investigate further. Thanks for your patience in the meantime. Best wishes, Michael@GEA
                      Great Features!
                      Add 30 Seconds Feature is Great! The look of stainless steel fits in great with our other appliances. The window and interior lighting allow a good view of cooking. One touch feature (hit the 1 for a minute of microwaving, 2 for two minutes, 3 for three minutes...etc.) is a really easy way to keep working in the kitchen simple.

                            Perfect sized Microwave Oven for Small Spaces
                            Great sized and packs a good amount of power. Easy to install with brackets under the cabinets.

                              Compact and Reliable
                              I purchased this compact GE Microwave specifically to fit inside a built-in kitchen cupboard. The enclosed space is too small for most regular microwave ovens on the market. After much research I discovered this GE microwave, which had the exact dimensions required. There are a few other compact brands out there but we chose GE to complement our other GE appliances. We never cook meals in this microwave, as it's sole purpose is reheating leftovers and beverages. A standard size dinner plate fits nicely inside, but taller items might not fit (i.e., a Starbucks Grande cup fits -- without the stopper stick). It's perfect for us, in more ways than one. It's only rated at 700W so it is a bit underpowered compared to larger units that are typically 1000-1200W. Sometimes we wish it had more power, but it works beautifully for our needs. After two years in daily use it has been 100% trouble-free. Given that this microwave is inexpensive and built for light duty, I wouldn't suggest it for large/rowdy families or where it would see heavy-duty use. I deducted one star just for being underpowered, but otherwise it's highly recommended, and I wouldn't hesitate to buy this model again.

                                We love the look and design. Not having a handle looks sleek. Was reasonably priced. Works well in our small space.

                                  Junk
                                  I think it's fair to describe this unit as complete junk. Aside from being disappointingly underpowered (claims to be 700W), in about a year's time, the interior has begun to rust out, an experience I've never had before with any microwave.

                                    We bought this microwave to have it fit into a built-in nook under our kitchen counter. It matches all of our other stainless appliances and looks great. Heats food quickly and evenly and is very quiet when running.

                                      Same great GE quality in a small package
                                      This microwave takes up very little space when hung under a cabinet but still provides all the great GE functionality and quality. A tall coffee cup or a 10.125” dinner plate fit into it. If you use the GE trim kit with care, you’ll have a successful install.

                                          Just the right size
                                          We've owned and have been using the microwave for a few months now. I also purchased the mounting kit. I'm glad we bought it planning to mount it because it's a little light for counter use and slides back when pushing door open button. I felt the microwave was priced reasonably but the mount kit was a bit pricey for what you get. With that being said both work well and we appreciate the extra counter space we got having it mounted. For a microwave that may seem small we have found nothing we normally use a microwave for that wouldn't fit in it. We are very happy with our purchase.

                                              Great Microwave
                                              I've had this microwave for two months. We downsized our large microwave to this smaller one in order to make room on the kitchen counter. It's been working great with no issues. You can buy a kit to hang it from your cabinets. I opted to buy four screws and install myself.

                                                Inconvenient and shoddy controls
                                                The control panel is covered with a plastic overlay that is peeling off on the frequently used buttons. The door release is set up so it causes the door to pen right next to the finger that triggers it since it has to be pushed on the left side of the latch. The former models had an opening "button" that was pushed on its center or other location.
