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!

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.

            This unit was hard to find & Tim S helped BIG TIME.
            Problem with first unit shipped to me; He coordinated exchange. The unit itself is all that is 'promised'. It does not include power adjustments or sensor cooking, both of which we did not need. Like the unit and its bisque color very much.

            I owned the last generation of this model and the enamel on the inside started peeling off. Replaced it with this one because it had to fit in the space. The materials on this newer model do not seem high quality. Some of the stainless trim is popping off already and i've only had it a few weeks. It does what it needs to do though and i like the quick controls.

                  I bought this as I had the identical product that was built in, and I needed the same product. The "old" identical microwave lasted 2 1/2 years. That seems a pretty short life span to me. I'm very happy with the way it works. I just hope it keeps working longer then the last one did.
