nice but not perfect
Reviewed by researcher (Casual Cook) from Columbus, OH on Jan 25, 2012
Verified Buyer
BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
Abt is excellent: fast service and well packed Now for the microwave. Its dimensions are 1/2" deeper than GE states, so it sticks out further than I had hoped. Its template is not to scale so it is useless; you must measure twice before drilling holes. Cannot turn off its cycle finish warning. It is loud enough for me to know when it stops I don't need a beep. Door must be closed very tight for it to work or turn off; you can close the door part way and it latches but still isn't closed all the way. Finally: it is the best designed microwave to fit under a cabinet so I am glad that GE makes this model.

GE Profile Spacemaker II
Reviewed by Rowing referee (Gourmet Cook) from Washington DC on Aug 26, 2011
Verified Buyer
This microwave has a very small interior compared to its predecessor which was as wide but much deeper. The trim kit that I bought from you just barely fits the microwave..many of the screw holes were just a "little" off, making it difficult to install. The engineer who designed it and the manufacturer who made it must have been laughing all the way to the loading dock. Not so much here.
Best Uses: Defrosting, Reheat
Cons: Doesn't fit trim kit well
Pros: Fits the smallspace I had

Sleek and efficient
Reviewed by Judyt (Gourmet Cook) from Washington, DC on Jun 08, 2011
Verified Buyer
BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
This microwave fits nneatly under a 24" wide cabinet, saving counter space. It is sleek and surprisingly pwerful for its size, and controls are easy to read and use. Installation is tricky, especially given the confusing instructions which left my handyman scratching his head. But once it is in, it works reliably and well to reheat leftovers, defrost small dinners or frozen foods. Cooks evenly and quickly. Replaces my 25 year old Spacemaker, which still works perfectly but is going to the country kitchen. GE reliability is unmatched.

Reviewed by Happy Abt Customer (Avid Cook) from San Diego, CA on Feb 09, 2011
Verified Reviewer
BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
This microwave replaces a GE PEM31 from 1997. The keypad and front surface is flat now, which makes for easier cleaning, and it's so much quieter! The kitchen cabinets were custom built to hold the microwave, and the new one fit perfectly in place without having to modify anything. The unit gets daily use several times daily, and I assume this will hold up as well as the original. It is gentle enough to soften butter and powerful enough to defrost flank steak or cook fish/multiple baked potatoes. It is a microwave that balances understated size/clean design with utility.

After 30 years of reliability, our first GE microwave died. We decided to buy this product as it was the closest in size and functions. It is far less noisy than "old faithful" and has more features for easier use. Only one bit of advice to the manufacturer and buyers: there should be a bigger warning to avoid the mistake of heating the oven with nothing in it as it can harm or permanently damage the oven. Other than that, we love it!

Had to step back to the basic JEM model after two of these PEM models failed to operate. First one would never shut off. GE Tech service attempted to reset computer, but that didn't work. Took it back and got another one. Second one worked for a couple of times and then quit entirely. Would not reset or show life of any kind.

BOTTOM LINE No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Within 1 week of owning this microwave, the door started jamming the power, or when you shut the door the thing would auto start without pressing any buttons. Because of our space constraints, it seemed to be the only model that would fit and we owned an older version (which we liked) so we stuck with the brand. We had it exchanged for a new one right away.

We bought this unit to replace a 10-year old built-in model that is no longer made. It fit perfectly and used the same mounting screw holes, a real plus. Works great and is quieter than the old unit. Only complaint is that the end of cycle and reminder beeps cannot be turned off, as they could with the older unit.

A nice unit

Verified Buyer
BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
This is a nice microwave for the space requirements in our remodeled kitchen, and the stainless steel finish is a good match for our other appliances. It is easy to use even before reading the manual and works very well. The under cabinet mounting kit was a waste of money as it contains parts for a variety of GE microwaves and only the 4 screws were useful(although I did use the template to mark the location for the holes). I still had to fabricate spacers to hang the unit properly and I expected them to be in the kit. So buy the microwave but not the overpriced and useless mounting kit.

this installed easily at our vacation house, and looks nice, but we had some comments from friends that the internal fan stayed on all the time, even when the microwave was not in use.

This item was purchased to replace an older "under the cabinet" microwave oven. The large capacity is suprising when you consider the sleek appearance of the exterior. One draw-back for me was the "under-the cabinet" mounting kit. The directions were not clear enough, but I'm not a mechanical type guy, however, I knew someone who was smater than I and it was installed without much problem. This product has done everything I asked it to do and I am completely satisfied with this purchase. I would even recommend this microwave to my ex- mother-in-law!!!!

I wanted to save counter space and this unit makes it possible. It may require a little ingenuity to install,depending on the situation. Thus far,we are pleased with the choice,possibly the only one on the market.

I live in a very small apartment without an oven, so I rely on my microwave to accomplish 75-80% of my cooking. This product does what I want, with minimum fuss. My only concern is that for anything more complicated than an express-cook setting I have to go and put on my reading glasses. I am sure I will eventually learn the touch pad by heart, but until then, it's a little extra step I have to take. Otherwise, A+.

The GE Profile Spacesaver solved my microwave problem. The cabinets in our house will not accomodate a microwave/hood combination over the stove, but I was tired of having a huge, old microwave taking up counter space. This microwave was easy to mount under a cabinet -- if you take your time and read the instructions thoroughly -- and it has freed up an amazing amount of counter space. It is smaller than my old microwave but more powerful, and it looks just great. I would agree with other reviewers that the start and cancel buttons could be more prominent, but maybe I'm just not used to them after only a couple of weeks. Great product, highly recommended.

Verified Buyer
BOTTOM LINE No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
I bought this Spacemaker II to replace the same model I have been using since 1991. I figured it was getting old, even though it still worked perfectly. The big difference between the old and new models is that they've replaced the glass plate with a turntable. They've also changed the arrangement of the keypads and increased the wattage from 650 to 800 and the interior from .8 cu. ft. to 1. The old model was far superior to the new. All of the new keypad buttons look alike, with the start button looking like any other. It cooks frozen food, boils water, and warms leftovers just fine as long as the turntable is on. If the turntable is off, the energy is concentrated in one place and burns the food. The standard popcorn bag is too long to fit on the turntable; the bag stops because the corners hit the door. If you try to pop with the turntable off, the corn burns without popping. I finally solved that problem by cutting off the corners from the bag first. I sent an e-mail to GE asking if the unit needed service because of the above issues. They replied for me to run a test heating 1 qt. of water in a 2-qt bowl for 2 1/2 minutes. The temperature increased by 42 degrees (a little over their standard of 28-40). According to GE, the unit is working as expected and does not require service. Their only suggestion was to try a different brand of popcorn. I loved my old unit, and am disappointed in this new model.

Our original GE Spacemaker II was 13 years old and on its last legs, in particular the inside of door was getting rusty. Then it stopped working entirely, so I ordered this as a replacement, whereupon my old one came to life again (after I unplugged it and plugged it in again!!). But we decided to keep the new one, which fits perfectly into the same space, and I didn't even have to order the installation screws just used the ones from the old GE microwave. The holes matched up perfectly. I took the plastic hole plugs from the new one and they fit right in the screw holes on the top of the old one, which we then donated to the local Boys & Girls Club. New one has a few nicer features including the turntable and reminder options. So far so good!

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
We had a late 1980s version of the GE Spacemaker microwave (1400 Watts) with minimal functions and no turntable. This unit cooks more quickly and evenly. The display panel is pretty intuitive for me, and it tells you in what order to push buttons for particular features. The sensor feature works great -- I just pop in leftovers, hit the Reheat button and everything is warmed perfectly. Delay Start and the Alarm are handy too. I haven't yet tried all the buttons designed for specific types of food. My only complaint is that the hole pattern for undercabinet mounting was different than the old model we had, but given that the old one lasted 20 years, I'm not really surprised. I've ordered the new mounting kit, which is readily available.

I just recently renovate my small kitchen so using an under cabinets hanging will help a lot. However, I was kind of nervous with the idea but after reading many good feedbacks about this microwave I decided to purchase one.. and I love it .. it's very easy to hang with the hanging kit (also purchased from ABT) .. one thing to be aware of though if you hang under a cabinet that got sided by the other two cabinets on each side you might want to hang it a little more to the right because you'll have trouble open the microwave door. I wished they put this in the instruction but they didn't so we hang it using their template and couldn't open the door .. it stuck with the cabinet doors on the left so lesson learned :-) Other than that I am very happy with it [...] I am not even talking about the good prices that you can't find anywhere else.

I bought this product in order to have a microwave over the counter (in my case on a specially built shelf) as I hated our several tries with over the stove microwaves (where for example, grease vapor would interfere with the controls, handles would break, the vent fans are not great and replacing an over the range model is an expensive endeavor) but at the same time I did not want to lose counterspace. This microwave is very space efficient in its design and looks great. For example, the door was built so that the glass tray can extend slightly into the space that the glass of the door would otherwise occupy, meaning that the unit sticks out that much less. I have been using it about a week. The controls are great but the one improvement I would make is that the display would show the power level.

We searched everywhere to find a microwave to fit where our old one did. We wasted a lot of gas. This is the newer version of our old oven, and it even fits the old brackets. I was leary of buying online, but I was thrilled with the service and prompt delivery. The only problem we've had with the oven is the popcorn setting. My daughter burned her popcorn. But we'll figure out how to time it. LOL. It does a better job of heating than the old one ever did, and the turntable makes it heat a lot more evenly. I like using the sensor because I don't have to guess about how long to heat stuff.

Reviews I read rated this as one of the better microwaves. It works well with reheating leftovers or defrosting frozen goods. Only drawbacks I have encountered: Excessive beeping with every function cannot be disabled, so no way to use it without making a racket. Part of the trim started coming undone even as I unpacked it from its well padded carton-- not enough to bother returning, but no wear should occur just taking it out of the box

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
I use it daily to defrost meats, heat dinner, cook vegetables, like squashes, bake potatoes and sweet potatoes. I make tea and coffee with it. Motivated to try steaming vegetables, and even cooking more complicated things... Fun to use. Great - 1. The timing for hot beverages, defrosting, reheating - I don't have to figure out how long to put it in for, with the specific buttons. 2. The text messages, like when defrosting "enter lbs" and "turn it over" when half-way through! It talks to you! 3. Ability to turn off the turn-table for larger dishes. 3. Baked potatoes are very evenly baked! 4. Clean look Not so great - 1. Start and Stop and Time buttons should be more prominent, maybe colored green, red, blue. Hard to locate in a hurry. 2. To enter timed-cook time - having to put in two zeros after minutes - old GE microwave had a "minute" button, could press "1" & "minute" - was faster, more convenient.

A real space saver!
Reviewed by Val & Paul (Casual Cook) from Southeast Alabama on Jan 03, 2008
Verified Buyer
BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
We bought this model to conserve our limited counter space. We easily installed it ourselves under a cabinet with the optional installation kit. It looks nice, is easily accessible, and, so far, has met all of our microwave cooking and reheating needs. The controls and cooking options seem too many and varied for our personal preference, though we are working though the learning curve. We noticed steam/water vapor emitting from the side vent and collecting on the wall when cooking a large sweet potato. While this appears to be normal, we hope it does not present a corrosion problem with long term use. This unit costs about $100 more than equivalent-power counter top models. Clearly, some of that additional cost results from beefing up the frame to hang from a cabinet, but the [$] premium seems a little high. This microwave oven does meet our space and cooking needs, and we are happy and satisfied with our purchase. Oh yes, the Abt ordering, packing, and shipping process was easy, speedy, and top notch!
