This was a good investment. At an excellent price [$], we got a highly-reviewed (ConsRep) and truly high-quality microwave. It's large and powerful, has dozens of applications (described in detail in the manual), and is relatively quiet (for the power). We had to get used to the power, because our previous one was quite weak -- so go easy on the minutes! The machine is also good looking (it's big, yes, but it doesn't feel massive). The stainless steel surfaces stain easily (fingerprints), but cleaning is easy too -- just a little water (light surface clearner for tougher stains) and a clean, soft cloth to polish. I hope this great impression holds for longer than the first month.

I just received this microwave oven (JES2251SS)and am in the process of learning how to use it. First, some comments on the finish. The front face is the only surface that has stainless steel as PART of the finish. The top and sides are what looks to be a dull finish blued steel. I would have preferred stainless all around. One big PROBLEM I noticed: the display. If you look at the digital display from head-on, all is well...the numerals are clear with a black background. But if you are looking at it from an overhead angle, such as when you are standing in front of it, the numerals get washed out from a kind of background glow that gets worse the higher up you go. Also, you can't see the top of the numerals...is it a 7 or a 1? Now, I am 6'5", so when I am standing in front the the unit trying to enter a cook time, I have to bend to see the numerals because they are almost completely washed out. I have it sitting on a standard 36" kitchen counter, and it seems that anyone taller than about 5'7" is going to start experiencing this. For this reason, I may return this item. I have not actually used it to cook, so I can't comment on its performance.

      I work in an office with over 170 people. We recently decided to purchase a second microwave. We purchased the exact same model we already owned. Our first model has stood the test of time. We've had it for almost 5 years. The stainless steel exterior looks great and It works amazingly well. Especially with the constant use it endures on a daily basis. It made perfect sense to order the same model. Highly recommended!

      I use the microwave primarily for reheating or a quick boil. It works very well. I might have purchased a smaller unit if I'd seen it in person but that's my own fault. The dimensions are clearly stated. Love Abt and love their products!

      Comments about GE Profile Countertop Microwave Oven - Stainless Steel Finish:

      I have enjoyed this microwave for 4+ years. However, the microwave oven died on me today, not even 5 years after purchase date. This is extremely disappointed given that it is a GE Profile appliance and I used to associated quality with GE. My husband was not happy that we paid so much for the microwave (at least twice the cost as other microwaves) only to have it die not even 5 years later. While it is working though, the features are nice. I am a fan of the inverter defrost. However, paying almost $300 for a microwave that doesn't last 5 years is terrible.

        Died after only 2 months of home use....I was surprised to see this as a Consumer Reports top choice, after I bought it I read the reviews at [...] and it seems ALOT of people have the same problems with it...It just doesn't last more than a few months! It is a really nice microwave, just hate to spend $250.00 every two months to keep it!

          as with all microwaves (they cook differently) use the trial and error method for the results you want.
