What Customers Are Saying

The microwave is generally well-received, with many praising its great features, compact size, and quick heating. Customers describe it as a good space-saver that fits well under cabinets and appreciate the sleek design and quiet operation. However, some have experienced issues like a noisy door, loud turntable, and difficult-to-read control panel. A few felt it was underpowered or not as sturdy as previous models, and a small number reported premature breakdowns. Overall, the consensus is that this is a good quality, compact microwave that meets the needs of many customers, especially those with limited kitchen space, though a minority have encountered problems.

The new Profile microwave - PCHK11S1WSS is the comparable replacement. We're confident it will work well for you.

It’s the only one that fits!!!

Would Recommend

The capacity is adequate. The microwave fits perfectly in a cabinet opening that was made for this model. This is the 4th one we have owned in 18yrs. The 800 watts is low powered but adequate. The controls are not lighted and hard to read. Very quiet microwave. They seldom last past 6yrs. Would not be my choice, however it’s the only microwave on the market that will fit my cabinet opening. Features are very adequate also.

Microwave oven. Poor quality

Would Not Recommend

The panel on the right side doesn’t light up and is difficult to see when selecting options. It also doesn’t respond right away when pushing specific choices. For the price of this microwave, I am very dissatisfied.

It’s Okay

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Controls should be intuitive and are until the word “food,” comes up on the display for no obvious reason. What else would I have in the microwave besides food? The machine operates quieter than most others. The display randomly loses some of its number lines on the clock making it difficult to use.

Good simple GE unit for what my needs were

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The microwave is sufficient for my needs and is a no frills unit with one year warranty. I find it operating well now. Surprised that GE can only warrant their product will last a year. The unit required a new trim kit and carpentry work as my former 3 year old GE Microwave Cafe series failed after the warranty date whose the dimensions were larger.

5 months in and the door already got jammed. It’s a weak and expensive microwave. Unfortunately, this is the only microwave that could fit under my cabinet.

Very Good Microwave

Would Recommend

This is a very good microwave, only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because you have to push the buttons very hard on the key pad, just afraid I'm going to damage it. Other than that it is very good overall.

Unreliable

Would Not Recommend

This is my second GE microwave in less than three years. Unfortunately I had to get the same microwave because this was the only size that would fit in the space of the cabinet. I’m hopeful that it will last longer than my previous microwave.

GE Countertop Microwave

Would Recommend

The microwave appears to work okay, but it is much smaller than anticipated and not as powerful as the prior GE microwave I had owned. Also, it would be beneficial to make these appliances with backlit control features to more easily see and read the controls. Sometimes I need to use a flashlight to see the correct control button to use.
