Replacement microwave oven

By madrap from South Lake Tahoe, CA on 02/1/2010.

Describe Yourself:	Avid Cook
Best Uses:	Defrosting, Popcorn, Leftovers, Frozen Food
Primary use:	Personal
Pros:	Simple Controls, Easy To Clean, Heats Evenly, Simple Display, Easy To Install, Powerful, Attractive Design

I replaced an older version of this GE microwave that had died last year. It needed to fit into the same space and it does, perfectly. All we had to do was slide it into place and plug it in. The new model has more features, in particular, a rotating glass base, that the old one didn't have.

Perfect size

I bought this to replace a very similar 10-year-old GE model.

Good Microwave

By Grayma from Falls Church, VA on 01/19/2010.

Describe Yourself:	Avid Cook
Primary use:	Personal

I use a microwave primarily to defrost or occasionally to reheat or to partially precook. Because it sits on a shelf, I need something with narrow depth but reasonable capacity. This one replaces essentially the same model that began to have button trouble after, about, six years. It has a variety of quick-to-set options. It's decent looking. It does what I need it to do.

We need to fit our microwave into a small cabinet and this fits perfectly and works very well.

Hanging screw holes changed position

By Jim from Berkeley, CA on 12/27/2009.

Describe Yourself:	Casual Cook
Primary use:	Personal

Seems as good as lots of other microwaves on the market. We bought this to replace a 20 year old failed GE Spacemaker II because we had it hanging under cabinets in the kitchen and wanted to use the existing kit and holes. The bolt holes at the top of microwave take the same diameter bolts but they are spaced further apart in width (not depth) than in the original. Fortunately we could use the holes at one end as is and had enough access to redrill 1 of the other pair of holes. The replacement is exactly the same depth as the original, otherwise we would have had to send it back.

A very good small microwave oven.

By BillH from De Forest, WI on 12/22/2009.

Describe Yourself:	Casual Cook
Pros:	Easy To Install, Attractive Design, Heats Evenly, Easy To Clean
Primary use:	Personal
Cons:	Poorly designed controls
Best Uses:	Quick Meals, Frozen Food, Leftovers, Defrosting

Pros: Heats evenly and reasonably quickly. Equivalent to about 700 W. Very even defrosting. Turntable works fine. Clear, obvious display. Attractive front panel design. Relatively quiet opration. Cons: Poorly laid out function buttons; some button labels hard to read. Door latch and door closing noisy; sounds cheap. Does not have rear recess to hide excess line cord. Does not appear easy to change cavity light bulb; not mentioned in instructions. Overall: We're happy with this microwave oven; it's a better unit than the one we replaced.

I would recommend this product

By Curvette from Chatsworth, CA on 12/11/2009.

Describe Yourself:	Avid Cook
Pros:	Perfect size, Easy To Clean, Simple Display, Easy To Install, Simple Controls, Heats Evenly, Attractive Design, Powerful
Primary use:	Personal
Best Uses:	Quick Meals, Frozen Food, Popcorn, Leftovers, Defrosting

Purchased a similar model in 1985 & it still works. I can't think of a better recommendation. The size is perfect for our narrow counter AND it will hold a 9 X 13 pan (when the turntable is turned off). The increased wattage (800)is the right amount for us; any more & we would have had to learn to microwave all over again. If you want a super hot,super fast machine get something else. If you want easy to use & spacesaver design, this is the machine to buy. Hope this one lasts 24 years.

Compact but with all the features I need

I really like the practical size; it does what I need from a full size microwave without wiping out counter space depth. It is only a little over 12" deep.

GE Black Spacemaker II microwave oven

Describe Yourself:	Casual Cook
Primary use:	Personal
Pros:	Powerful, Simple Controls, Easy To Clean, Simple Display, Heats Evenly, Easy To Install, Attractive Design
Best Uses:	Quick Meals
Cons:	Small Capacity

We had a GE Spacemaker oven that we had used for years and was satisfied with it. However it didnt have digital controls. The bottom of the old one had started to crack inside, so we thought it was time to get a new one. The amazing thing was that the new one fit perfectly in the space where the old one was. I have it hanging beneath the cabinets in the kitchen and I only had to drill two small holes to hang the new one. The Hardware that I needed came from the old Microwave unit and everything lined up perfectly

Describe Yourself:	Avid Cook
Pros:	Easy To Clean, Attractive Design, Easy To Install, Heats Evenly

Best Uses:	Quick Meals, Popcorn, Leftovers

Fits perfectly in a 12 inch deep cabinet. GE mounting kit is easy to install. I only use it to heat snacks/leftovers and have had no problems. Adjust popcorn setting if you use minibags...blackened my first bag. Helps to review the manual.

Great GE Spacemaker

By Texas Cook from McLean, Virginia on 08/31/2009.

Describe Yourself:	Gourmet Cook
Pros:	Heats Evenly, Easy To Install, Attractive Design, Easy To Clean, Instant minutes
Best Uses:	Leftovers, Boneless chicken breasts, Quick Meals, Popcorn, Defrosting, Frozen Food, Scratch cheesecake 10 min, Fresh veggies and quiche
Primary use:	Personal

My husband and I especially like the fact that you can just push 1 or 2 or 5 and the minutes come on instantly. On our old GE, you had to push "Time Cook" and then 1-0-0 and then Start. So you push once instead of five times. The Spacemaker fits perfectly in the space we had available, and the color and design are clean and neat looking.

Perfect Fit!

Pros:	Simple Display, Easy To Clean, Attractive Design, Simple Controls, Heats Evenly, Powerful

I purchased this oven to replace a previous GE microwave oven (same size) that had been in service for 20 years. Since my kitchen cabinets have a space for this smaller sized microwave oven, my options were limited to GE. The new one has run perfectly so far, has more features than the old one (turntable, one touch controls, etc.) and the black color matches my other appliances very nicely. I will be thrilled if this microwave lasts as long as the old one!

Great microwave and quiet too!

By A reviewer of this microwave from Lake County Illinois on 07/23/2009.

Describe Yourself:	Avid Cook
Best Uses:	Leftovers, Quick Meals, Defrosting
Primary use:	Personal
Pros:	Powerful, Easy To Install, Simple Display, Simple Controls, Easy To Clean, Attractive Design, Heats Evenly

Purchased this unit after my existing GE Profile failed. In the old unit it was the simple little moisture sensor for checking popcorn and other sensing duties that was defective. It would have cost $103 to replace!!! That's if you could find it, along with the special $7 fuse that blew because if it's failure. Talk about planned obsolescence! GE obviously doesn't want these to be repaired. That's why I chose this particular unit. It does almost everything the other one does, costs $15 less than the exact replacement would have cost, and DOES NOT have the moisture sensor, which I didn't use anyway. It performs slightly better than the old one regarding cooking time, and is much quieter. It also has a couple of nice new features like an instant 30 second add and separate time defrost buttons. Together with the fact that it used the same under counter installation kit, it's exactly what I needed!

Great product, does the job!

I have had the previous Spacemaker II for 10 years before replacing it with this model. They are both great microwaves and the new one is more powerful and has the advantage of a turntable for even heating. Small, easy to use, and a great price. GE is the clear winner for this size unit.

The home we moved from had a 10 yr. old built in Spacesaver II & we wanted a microwave that matched it for our new home, but we could not find a similar one in the stores around us. We also wanted a microwave where we could turn off the turntable. So we got online & found what we were looking for at Abt. We like the new microwave.

Primary use:	Personal
Pros:	Stable Tray, Simple Display, Easy To Clean, Powerful, Heats Evenly, Attractive Design, Quiet

Only reason we bought a new microwave was because our old one (also a GE) is 21 years old. Though it still works fine, it has no turntable, has an unattractive imitation wood finish, and we were afraid it might finally wear out. So when we remodeled our kitchen we opted for a new one. Very glad we did - sleek new styling, lighter weight, much more interior room, more power, a turntable, and an optional hanging kit so we could install it under a cabinet and leave the counter free. We love it! Watch out for even the minutest dirt or crumbs between the turntable wheels and the ring - they can cause jerking and grinding when turning. Once you are aware of this - no problem. Just routinely wash the turntable ring even though you can't see any dirt there.

This microwave is the unit for us.

We purchased this because our 14 year old previous version that had served us so well finally shorted out. We were pleasantly surprised that the outer appearance has been updated and it has a nice look. We are locked into this size and it is the only one on the market with these dimensions, so the fact that it is good-looking and good quality are big pluses! We so far are very pleased with the quality and if we get another 14 years out of this one - wow!

Easy to install. Is a great upgrade from my last under-cabinet microwave. Defrost setting works like a charm. It does seem that there is a little less power when using the timed cook function vs the auto timer, but it isn't significant enough to really be problematic.

Primary use:	Personal
Pros:	Powerful
Best Uses:	Snacks, Quick Meals, Frozen Food

I read a review that knocked the spacemaker II as short on longegivity. I got almost 2 decades out of mine and like the Duracel drummerboy, it was still running. The only problem was that I could no longer read the time window. I also lucked out in that the "under the counter" bolt holes were identical on both units so I returned the mounting kit for refund. By the way, with a little ingenuity you could make your own template with a sheet of paper, drill the holes and get 4 bolts from the hardware store and save [$] on a mounting kit.The new spacemaker II works fine. It has a few more features than the old model and appears to be more powerful. If I get half the service life that I did from my old unit, I'll be a happy camper.

I would order this again

This microwave was smaller than I thought from the dimensions listed. I cook more than many people so I only use it to reheat things. It works great.

Primary use:	Personal
Pros:	Powerful, Simple Display

I had an earlier spacemaker II model since 1986 and it stopped working. The controls to set/start would not work. I think the control logic went out. I wanted the same model so it would fit in the same space and did not want to buy a new front (It sits in a shelf with a frame. It went in with no problem and looks good. The old model did not have a rotating cirle, This one seems to cook faster. [...].

BREAK ROOM WONDER

By Edgardo from Edison, NJ on 04/11/2007.

Pros:	Easy To Clean, Compact
Describe Yourself:	Employees on Break
Best Uses:	Leftovers, Frozen Food, Vegetables

This unit was installed in the breakroom on several locations of a pharmaceutical company in New Jersey. It was was selected because it is compact, yet not too small, providing a bracket to hang it under the counter. It's also a durable unit and can take some abuse. It's used several times during morning and afternoon breaks, and lunch time.

Just what we wanted!

We looked forever to find a replacement for our under cabinet microwave which was over 10 years old. This model is an updated version of the one we had. It's the perfect size, very quiet, and more than powerful enough. We thought it came with the kit to mount it, but it didn't, so be sure to order it at the same time. It was, however, another $[...]!

We have three of these units at our office for 55 employees to heat and reheat lunches. I'm replacing one that lasted 15 years. The other two were replaced within the last 2-4 years. It is a great little unit. GE - don't stop making it!

Ideal for Depth-Challenged installations

By JimTheRunner from Philadelphia, PA on 02/9/2007.

Best Uses:	Everyday Use
Pros:	Powerful, Only 12" Deep, Compact

One of the few with depth less than 15"-16". The power unit is on the side rather than the back. This makes the unit wider than usual but, that's exactly what I wanted.

Just Right

By CK from Bolton, MA on 02/1/2007.

Cons:	Beep is a little loud
Pros:	Easy To Clean, Simple Display, Versatile
Best Uses:	Vegetables, Frozen Food, Leftovers

It's just about right. Not too big, not too small. The display can't get any better. Simple, easy, but no limitations. The turntable is optional, which makes it so great. I use it "off" for heating a big casserole dish, but leave it "on" for round dishes. Opting it off or on is super easy. Easy to clean. The power is a bit on the lower side, but it works for me, because with my previous ones that were more powerful, I alsmost always lowered the power for gentler heating. The beep is a bit loud, but I expect I will get used to it soon.

It's a spacesaver!

By Popcorn Burner from Jacksonville, FL on 12/27/2006.

Pros:

Powerful, Versatile

This microwave is very powerful. I burned 2 bags of popcorn using the Popcorn button - be careful! I wanted to mount the microwave under my cabinet and found I couldn't because it was bigger than the recessed part under my cabinet. Be sure to measure first before purchasing! Also, this microwave is heavy. Your cabinet might not hold it's weight.

Great, especially for its size.

By Barefoot Jeri from Houston, TX on 12/22/2006.

Pros:	Easy To Clean, Powerful, Versatile, Compact, Simple Display
Best Uses:	Versatile for all foods

I do a lot of real cooking as well as reheating with a microwave. I also have a very small kitchen. This is a good counter top choice for me. I like that an 11" x 9" dish will fit in this oven and I can stop the turntable when I choose.

I would buy this product again.
