GE JE 740

Reviewed by MW user (Avid Cook) from Niles, Il. on Jun 18, 2011

This was the only brand that would fit and would hang. I do not like the door, think handles are better. I do use it a lot. Last one had a piece of paint fall off, it was like a blister, that GE had no idea what happened (it was five years old), they did give me a rebate. Maybe would recommend this to someone else.

Cons:	Noisy
Pros:	Simple Display, Attractive Design, Easy To Clean, Simple Controls

This model along with many other of the same model and make are used in an assisted living complex. These microwaves are simple and easy for our elderly to use.

GE Microwave

Reviewed by Someone Who Knows (Casual Cook) from Garfield, NJ on Oct 15, 2010

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

I had the older version of this microwave for nearly fourteen years. The new one is better because it is more compact in size and the wattage is much higher, hence heats faster. This is an excellent GE product and ABT had it at my door before I even missed the old one. I was very smooth purchase.

Pros:	Attractive Design, Easy To Clean, Powerful, Simple Display, Easy To Install, Simple Controls
Best Uses:	Defrosting, Frozen Food, Popcorn, Leftovers

Small but excellent microwave

Reviewed by Happy home handyman (Casual Cook) from Gainesville FL on Jun 01, 2009

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Replaced an older version of same microwave, which had developed a leak after 17 years. Had to re-drill the under-cabinet mounting holes, but had no problem in installing the unit in the same position.[...]

Curved Compact

Reviewed by Jo (Avid Cook) from Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio on May 14, 2009

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Like the curved design. Also the simplicity of the modes are easy to read. This microwave is speedy and reliable. I've used it so far for cooking rice, and beans, coffee and teas. Pretty reliable compact microwave oven.

Pros:	Heats Evenly, Simple Controls, Easy To Clean, Easy To Install, Attractive Design, Simple Display, Powerful
Best Uses:	Quick Meals, Leftovers
Cons:	Small Capacity

Gets the job done.

Reviewed by Where's my Easy Button (Avid Cook) from Alexandria, VA on Mar 09, 2009

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

I prefer my old 735, where you only have to press one button for 30 sec, 1,2,3,4,5 min settings. Cooking can be uneven, such as poaching two eggs in a sidby-side poacher. Defroster is slow, but it'll get there eventually. Best feature: it's reliable and has a relatively small countertop footprint.

Pros:	Easy To Clean, Attractive Design, Easy To Install, Simple Controls
Cons:	Heats Unevenly
Best Uses:	Popcorn, Leftovers

Fair price for fair quality oven

Reviewed by Bruce (Gourmet Cook) from Massachusetts on Dec 02, 2008

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

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.

Cons:	Door is overly flimsy
Best Uses:	Leftovers, Heating Liquids, Frozen Food, Quick Meals
Pros:	Simple Controls, Simple Display, Attractive Design

Works fine; not as noisy as I thought

Reviewed by omaandopa (Casual Cook) from B'ville, NY on Jul 07, 2008

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

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.

Best Uses:	Popcorn, Leftovers, Quick Meals
Pros:	Price, Simple Display, Mounts under the cabinet

Overall, happy with the purchase!

Reviewed by Natalie (Casual Cook) from Baltimore, MD on Feb 27, 2008

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

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.

Pros:	Easy To Clean, Heats Evenly, Attractive Design
Cons:	Noisy
Best Uses:	Quick Meals, Leftovers

Featherweight Champ

Reviewed by Doc (Gourmet Cook) from Missoula, Montana on Jan 30, 2008

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

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.

Cons:	Confusing Display
Best Uses:	Leftovers, Quick Meals, Frozen Food
Pros:	Quiet, Stable Tray, Heats Evenly

great little microwave

Reviewed by Island Mom (Busy Mom, Casual Cook, Health Conscious) from Nantucket, MA on Apr 23, 2007

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

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!)

Cons:	a little noisey
Best Uses:	Leftovers
Pros:	Powerful, Simple Display

Great Compact Microwave BUT Noisy

Reviewed by Sugie (Casual Cook, Health Conscious) from Massachusetts on Nov 13, 2006

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. [...]
