from Washington, DC on 2/25/2010
Comments about GE GE 1.1 Cu. Ft. Countertop Microwave Oven - White Finish:
I use it everyday for reheating and frozen meals. So far so good. It fits perfectly into the restricted space I have. It replaces another GE model that worked perfectly for 10 years. I burned some instant popcorn and couldn't get the small out. This one feels a little less well constructed than the other one did but I'm hoping it lasts as long.
I was amazed at how quickly it was delivered! 2 days after I ordered it even though I asked for regular shipping. It was very well packed yet easy to unpack and plug in. Began using it that very same day!

from North Florida on 2/13/2010
Comments about GE GE 1.1 Cu. Ft. Countertop Microwave Oven - White Finish:
We use the microwave for reheating food, heating frozen meals, popcorn, limited cooking, and heating water for coffee/tea. It heats quickly and evenly and is pretty quiet (compared to previous oven). The only cons I have are (1) the buttons are not easy to push, (2) it has metal feet which slide on the counter top, and (3) it's feet are uneven, the oven wobbles. I took care of 2 and 3 with some cork pads I bought at [...]. One on each 3 of the feet and 2 on the front left foot. Now its even and doesn't slide

Comments about GE GE 1.1 Cu. Ft. Countertop Microwave Oven - White Finish:
The only negative comment is that you have to press the timed cook button before you enter the time. It does not default to letting you just enter a time to cook. Not a big deal, just one extra button to push.

from Central Ohio on 6/10/2009
Comments about GE GE 1.1 Cu. Ft. Countertop Microwave Oven - White Finish:
I use this microwave for basic cooking and it is great for that. Just a hair smaller than the mid-sized I was using but I have no problems with the size.
Where this oven excels is in price/performance. A very nice model that is about $20 less at ABT than at a local discount store. It does everything I expect at a price that made me happy.
Minor inconveniences include buttons that have to be pushed directly in the center or they will be somewhat hard to register, and the lettering is a gray color rather than black which is not quite as visible in dim lighting.
I have owned the oven for just 2 months and if it performs well over time it would earn my highest ranking.

from Elgin, IL on 2/17/2009
Comments about GE GE 1.1 Cu. Ft. Countertop Microwave Oven - White Finish:
This is a nice size Microwave. I use it for heating leftovers, TV dinners, steaming vegetables and a few other things. To this point I am very satisfied with the product. Heats evenly and isn't noisy. However, the one thing I don't like is that the buttons I use are not sensitive enough and it seems like your fingers have to be packed with power to push the buttons. Other than that, it's a satisfactory product.
Very prompt delivery. Product arrived in very good condition. The fellows who delivered it were very nice and also helpful.

from St Pete, FL on 12/17/2008
Comments about GE GE 1.1 Cu. Ft. Countertop Microwave Oven - White Finish:
once I received the turntable (a month later), the microwave worked great
Received promptly from Abt, but there was no turntable for the microwave in the box. Modern microwaves do not cook evenly without the turntable, so had to put up with this for a month before received turntable. Called Abt parts dept several times to complain and they were nice enough, stating they told GE of the missing parts and that was all they could do. Obviously GE is to blame, not Abt.

Comments about GE GE 1.1 Cu. Ft. Countertop Microwave Oven - White Finish:
I would not recommend this product
Although this microwave lasted less than 3 weeks, the service from ABT was wonderful. I am hesitant to buy on-line, as it is hard to ship something back, but ABT provided me with a packing slip for UPS. I was really pleased with the service, just not the product, but that does happen.

from St. Louis, Missouri on 4/18/2008
Comments about GE GE 1.1 Cu. Ft. Countertop Microwave Oven - White Finish:
In order to use the control panel buttons you have to use so much force to push the buttons that you end up moving the entire microwave. Maybe I'll get use to it but after 3 weeks it is still frustrating. It appears to work fine other than this problem but sometimes its the "small" things that can make one not recommend it.
from Tampa, FL on 4/9/2008
Comments about GE GE 1.1 Cu. Ft. Countertop Microwave Oven - White Finish:
Had same size GE micro for past four years. Works great. Just remodeled kitchen and got new GE micro to fit into bottom shelf of wall cabinet. This is the largest could find with the right dimensions. This one is less deep than others but still 1..1 cu ft. New micro is much lighter than my previous which also is better for cabinet shelf placement although I did add two extra wall screws into the back of the cabinet to support micro and I added extra 1/2" piece of plywood on bottom to handle the extra two inches stick out from cabinet front. (FYI: I installed an outlet on the wall behind cabinet when remodeled and then cut out small central square from cabinet back to expose outlet.)

from Long Island NY on 3/2/2008
Comments about GE GE 1.1 Cu. Ft. Countertop Microwave Oven - White Finish:
This is a great little microwave for the price. It cooks evenly and is easy to operate. The only flaw that I could find was the "automatic" controls are a bit confusing. Codes for foods just don't provide enough variability within each category. That said, this more than does the job. It just takes a little trial and error to find the exact times to reheat something. Once done, no issues.
This was my first purchase from Abt and it certainly won't be my last. The microwave arrived when promised and in perfect condition, carefully packed to protect it.
from Sanibel, FL on 2/28/2008
Comments about GE GE 1.1 Cu. Ft. Countertop Microwave Oven - White Finish:
The only con I've discovered in 3 weeks is that you have to push the buttons rather hard in order to set cooking times and activate. It cooks perfectly, is very quiet and is easy to clean.
Prompt shipment from ABT - just wish I had the option to request "no signature" delivery.

I bought this for my mom. She is still leary of it but says she loves it. Her old one died, and her new one doesn't take long to make items.

from Nashville, TN on 11/26/2007
Comments about GE GE 1.1 Cu. Ft. Countertop Microwave Oven - White Finish:
I use a microwave casually, mainly for heating leftovers or making popcorn. I've always had a 700 or 800 watt in the past. But I am so thrilled to have this 1100 watt. What a difference! 60-90 seconds and my leftovers are done; and for the first time, I punched the POPCORN button and every kernel popped. I'm really happy I got this microwave.
from Hartford on 11/12/2007
Comments about GE GE 1.1 Cu. Ft. Countertop Microwave Oven - White Finish:
This microwave is solidly built, and works very well and fairly quietly. I like the 1-6 min buttons, and the 30-sec addition button. My only complaint is the loudness of the beeps, which cannot be silenced. An on/off option for the beeps would have earned it 5 stars from me.
from metro Atlanta, GA on 9/26/2007
Comments about GE GE 1.1 Cu. Ft. Countertop Microwave Oven - White Finish:
It's of a perfect size to fit on the counter where I need it. Its performance is excellent, though the insulation is not as good as in the (more expensive) unit it replaced, and the buttons require a bit more pressure to use.
I would not hesitate to buy from Abt again. I was very pleased with how the order was processed, the excellent status reports, and the prompt delivery.

from Austin, TX on 7/28/2007
Comments about GE GE 1.1 Cu. Ft. Countertop Microwave Oven - White Finish:
This is a great size microwave for most people and has some nice features. I had never used auto-cook features where you select the type of food and portion size, but am impressed by it. With you use these settings, the heat cycles are customized and the food is more evenly heated. It works so well that I try to use the auto-cook feature whenever I can. Also, GE prints the auto cook selection guides on the inside of the door so you don't have to look it up in the manual. I will say that I don't see the need for both an auto cook and auto reheat settings for beverages. It seems redundant and I would rather GE had included an auto-cook setting specific for a baked potato. I do like the express cook keys and the +30 second key. For a 1100 watt microwave, the +30 second is going to be more useful than having to add a full minute. The turntable platter is a generous size and the timer can be used to delay cooking and to set a holding time after cooking. The key pad is a little stiffer than what I was used to, so I have to push a little harder, but this is not a significant drawback. The clock display is easy ro read from any location in the room. I'm pretty happy with this microwave.

from Alabama on 5/29/2007
Comments about GE GE 1.1 Cu. Ft. Countertop Microwave Oven - White Finish:
You rarely have to push the Start button. It has 1 touch for adding 30 seconds, 1 minute through 6 minutes. Even on reheat once you enter the code is starts automatically.

This microwave totally fits my needs...compact and quiet. Love the add 30 seconds feature and the beverage heating feature. Works well in a small apartment.
from Atlanta, GA on 2/5/2007
Comments about GE GE 1.1 Cu. Ft. Countertop Microwave Oven - White Finish:
It does what is it supposed to do for my purpose, which is basic cooking and reheating. Has several "nice to have" options. A bit of uneven heating if large amount of food are prepared. And, the panel wants to "know" size/amount of food before it selects a heat setting and length of heating. In my opinion, could have eliminated that option entirely (since I am not always sure of what to input there and it's an extra step) and let customer choose his/her own cooking settings... Otherwise, it is a nice size, looks good and works well.
