Awkward to use
Would Not RecommendI was looking for a replacement microwave from my g e profile. this fit the space perfectly. I wanted something without handles for a sleek look. the problem is, the door is huge swings back and can hit you in the head. The microwaving area is much smaller than my original profile. Controls are very awkward as well. they need to go back to the original design! i would definitely not recommend buying this. They should put the controls back where they were originally instead of leaving a big...
Phenomenal
You can always put a small item in a 2.1 ft.³ microwave, but you certainly can't put a large item in a small microwave. This is my second of the exact same model.

Product quality
Would Not RecommendWe replaced a unit which was about 7 years old that was identica inl make and model to the one we just purchased. The previous unit was of a better quality. This unit is cheaply made and we were diappointed. Interior ceiling is now made differently and will not accommodate a magnet plastic food cover we use. Now it must be laid on the carousel and be removed when it is not needed.

Lasted only 5 yrs
Magnetron only lasted 5 yrs... just after the warranty ran out. I'm going to try another of the same model. See how does it do.

Love it!
Would RecommendI bought this same microwave for our home in Minnesota and LOVE IT! - no complaints!!! So, when we decided to remodel the kitchen at our Florida home, it was a no brainer. No shopping around needed. No comparing products needed. I simply searched for PVM9005SJSS to find the best price :-)

New model same number is not the same
Would RecommendWe purchased a new microwave with the same model number ( my previous one was not 8 yrs old and the sensor in the door was blowing out our circuit breaker) we decided to replace it. The new one with the same model number is wider and shorter than the one I’m replacing AND the mounting is totally different. WHY WOULD GE KEEP THE SAME MODEL NIMBER BUT CHANGE THE SIZE AND MOUNTING !!!

Poor Handling
Would Not RecommendArrived after an interminable delay with no explanation. Box was evidently left standing in a lot of water and was soaked. Delivery took a photo of the top, which conveniently hid the soaked bottom of the package. The delivery guy politely asked for a good review and not to punish them, they are "just" the delivery guys, which was fine, until they left and the heretofore damage was revealed.

Great Microwave
Would RecommendLooks and works great

Versatile applications
The GE microwave has all the features that I want and its ease of use is very helpful. The ventilation is excellent and its capacity is great for multipurpose uses

Wonky Display
Would Not RecommendUnfortunately, there appears to be something wrong with the display. Almost on a daily basis, I have to reset the clock. The display seems to reset itself at first use. It also looks like there's a sensor that fails to recognize that there's food in the microwave. I have to open and close the door before it allows me to set the cooking time.
From geappliances.com
We recommend checking to see if the Display was inadvertently turned off. Press Settings and press 3 and then press 1 to turn on the display. This inf...
Control panel
Would RecommendControl panel requires a little more pressure pushing numbers on digital panel. Otherwise, all is good!

Nice microwave
I literally just installed the microwave. The glass door to see in to the microwave while items are being heated or cooked would be helpful. Talk to your design people. When you open the microwave for the first time there is a lot of “empty” space on the right. Since all of the control buttons are on the bottom, it takes you a second to get used to the unused space.

Had to print owner manual, not included in box
Would Not RecommendNot what I expected but acceptable, like the size and location of clock
From geappliances.com
We are happy that you are enjoying the size of this microwave and the location of the clock. We are confident that this microwave will serve you well ...
Great features!
Would RecommendOverall so far I am generally pleased with my purchase. It has many features my old microwave did not have that I like: option to turn off turntable, levels for light and fan are 2 I find particularly helpful. I am not happy with the view into the microwave however. The window is too small and too high for me to see in when using it. Also, and it is far too soon to tell, but the push buttons feel like they are going to wear down quickly. Time will tell if this will prove true or not.
