Fair price for fair quality oven

By Bruce

from Massachusetts on 12/2/2008

Pros:

Attractive Design, Simple Controls, Simple Display

Cons:

Door is overly flimsy

Best Uses:

Frozen Food, Heating Liquids, Leftovers, Quick Meals

Describe Yourself:

Gourmet Cook

Primary use:

Personal

Bottom Line:

Comments about GE GE Countertop Black Microwave Oven:

Typical GE, fair price for mid range quality.

Door design/quality leave substantial room for improvement, it frequently fails to open unless the button is pressed quite smartly, the twist in the door prevents the door from fully closing unless closed from the top corner.

It does seem to be the only currently available compact oven that can hang from a cabinet.

Service & Delivery comments:

Smooth smooth transaction at an absolutely good price and delivery.

Would certainly buy from Abt again!

Mounts under the cabinet, Price, Simple Display

Bottom Line:

Comments about GE GE Countertop Black Microwave Oven:

Just the right size, it fits one dinner plate. Easy to use. It mounts under the cabinets. Good price.
It wasn't the easiest to mount, though, even with the specified mounting bracket.

Overall, happy with the purchase!

By Natalie

Pros:

Attractive Design, Easy To Clean, Heats Evenly

Cons:

Noisy

Leftovers, Quick Meals

Bottom Line:

Comments about GE GE Countertop Black Microwave Oven:

I used to have a 1.3 Cubic feet Sharp microwave oven before I bought this one. So far, the only adjustment I have had to make is the cooking time. Since this one is smaller, it takes double the time to heat the leftover food. Other than that, it's a good product and fits nicely under my kitchen cabinet.

Service & Delivery comments:

Incredibly quick delivery. I'd buy at abt again.

Featherweight Champ

By Doc

from Missoula, Montana on 1/30/2008

Pros:

Heats Evenly, Quiet, Stable Tray

Cons:

Confusing Display

Best Uses:

Frozen Food, Leftovers, Quick Meals

Describe Yourself:

Gourmet Cook

Primary use:

Personal

Bottom Line:

Comments about GE GE Countertop Black Microwave Oven:

One of the very few models small enough to fit inside a kitchen cabinet. Microwaves wonderfully.
Only criticisms: The display numbers are not bright enough. Also, I find the options displayed such as "potato", "vegetable", "pizza", "pop corn" and "beverage" a waste of space.

Comments about GE GE Countertop Black Microwave Oven:

WE REALLY LIKE THIS MICROWAVE. WE DOWNSIZED TO THIS SMALLER MODEL AND ARE ALL HAPPY WITH IT. TAKES UP LESS SPACE THAN OUR OLD ONE AND HEATS JUST AS WELL!

great little microwave

By Island Mom from Nantucket, MA on 4/23/2007

Describe Yourself:

Busy Mom, Casual Cook, Health Conscious

Pros:

Powerful, Simple Display

Cons:

a little noisey

Best Uses:

Leftovers

Bottom Line:

Comments about GE GE Countertop Black Microwave Oven:

After much research we found this to be the smallest microwave available. It heats most things as well as our former much larger GE Spacemaker micro. It has only been a little slower to cook large bowls of frozen veggies (as large as would fit!)

Great Compact Microwave BUT Noisy

By Sugie

from Massachusetts on 11/13/2006

Pros:

Compact, Easy To Clean, Simple Display, Versatile

Best Uses:

Frozen Food, Leftovers, Meats, Vegetables

Comments about GE GE Countertop Black Microwave Oven:

Great compact Microwave that does the job intended. BUT clicks like a loud clock with each rotation of turntable. Very bothersome noise, but I bought to fit a particular space, so will have to put up with it. Price reasonable. [...]
