It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis.

A bit of a disappointment

7/26/2018

Just bought online to replace a previous GE microwave in which the interior paint peeled and dropped chips on food. Have high hopes GE has figured out the paint problem in this new one. Disappointment: except for clock/timer the control panel is not backlit and buttons are very difficult to see.

Large microwave in small space

6/30/2018

Excellent for heating up and cooking - utilizes sensing so that there is no overcooking. Love how this is small and fits in built in upper cupboard NOT over my range. People can use the microwave without interfering with the cook. :D Because this isnt over the range we got to use a decorative tile above the range/below the range hood. Easy to figure out controls too Love this microwave

New PEM31SFSS

5/8/2018

I had to purchase another microwave because my previous GE microwave 5 years old started chipping inside GE no longer makes the same size model I had purchased for a BUILT IN so I was forced to buy the updated version. With the previous model the trim kit fit perfectly snug around the microwave this one has space on all sides and quite frankly looks horrible. The trim kit does not look good It seems oversized and bulky around the microwave.This microwave may work for those who just need a stand alone microwave but if your replacing an older built in version it will not be the same look. The keypad is so dark I need several kitchen lights on to read it Not happy with the purchase.

Replacement

I got this microwave to replace my old ge. The only reason I got this microwave was it was the exact replacement of my old one. It was the only one with the same dimensions and can be attached under the cabinet. However I think the power is insufficient compared to old one. I had to elevate the pop corn bag with a plate to make it pop. It also takes slightly longer to warm up things. First I thought the microwave was defected. I replaced it but same thing was happening.

The perfect small built in microwave

4/8/2018

I bought this 2 months ago and it works well for everything i use a microwave for. Mostly Reheating leftovers baked potatoes fresh vegetables and Defrosting. It was the only one made that fit into the space where we had a 20 plus year old same model microwave that was still working. This one is a perfect upgrade. It works great and looks great in our updated kitchen. Matches the other stainless steel appliances.

Door Sticks and Buttons do not always work

3/31/2018

The button that opens the door sticks and so I often have to push it a couple of times to open the door. I sometimes push one of the fast cook buttons and it wants to know what type of food I want. I have it built into an upper cabinet so there are not other choices to fit in that cabinet.

Somewhat disappointed

3/28/2018

Bought this model to replace the previous model to hang under the upper cabinets. Its larger - not by much but enough that it barely fit. I also like the key layout on the previous model JEM31SF and most importantly the display was better. You didnt have to look up various codes to cook items - eg vegetables had two options fresh and frozen and thats what the display said. Now its a 1 for fresh 2 for frozen and 3 for canned. Canned in only boiling liquid to heat. Anyone can do that. It looks much nicer but the GE logo is right up front.

Replacement microwave

3/14/2018

I bought this a month or so ago as a replacement for a similar Hotpoint microwave. We liked the other one very much and wanted a replacement that mounted under a cabinet like the last one did. Thats why this one. So far were happy with it. However because the buttons are so different its taking a while to get used to it. Otherwise its works well for our needs. It is however over priced. Most microwaves of equal size an wattage are half the cost.

good but pricey

3/4/2018

We did a minor remodel in the kitchen and I removed our existing GE Profile microwave from over our range / stove. It is a thousand Watts and about 3in taller then the replacement. I put the new microwave this one in an our pantry. I selected this one because it is significantly shorter which allowed me to do the install without having to do any shelving adjustments which would have required more than just unscrewing some fasteners i e would have required carpentry work. The good news is the new microwave fits perfectly but the bad news is its smaller and less powerful. And for a microwave it was expensive. However I knew all of this going in and decided it was the best option for my situation. And I had good luck with my original GE Profile microwave.

I only use the microwave for 2 things. Heat up my coffee that gets cold before I get it drank and popcorn. This microwave does not make the microwave bag popcorn.

Good size for countertop microwave

3/2/2018

Compact but still has almost the same interior and features as my old built in microwave. The only downside is it only has 800 watts so extra time must be given for cooking. But an extra minute or 2 is not a deal breaker. Still has the same quick cook buttons as my old larger m/w. And it looks nice in my counter

Great fit for our kitchen

We purchased this microwave because it was a perfect fit for the microwave alcove in our new kitchen. Everything works very well. The only downside is the lower power as compared to our previous unit. A cup of soup that used to take 1 minute now takes 2. In general it takes about 2x the time of the old unit.

Not quite as good as the Spacesaver it replaced

2/19/2018

I was forced to buy this when our SpaceSaver died around Christmas. I miss several of the features the previous model had such as sensor reheat larger cavity and higher power. The buttons on this one dont feel as solid as the old. But it fits in the hole in my cabinets cooks well and is very quiet compare to the older one. The sensor reheat I mentioned above refers to the fact that I could put in a dish hit the Reheat button and the oven detect when the dish was hot. I did not have to take the extra step of identifying what type of food I was reheating.
