GE Countertop Microwave Oven, Compact 0.7 Cubic Ft., 700-watt Capacity, 6 Auto Cooking Settings, Kitchen Essentials for the Countertop, Dorm Room or Apartment, Stainless Steel

After many years of service, my GE SpaceMaker II microwave needed to be replaced. Unfortunately, the line has been discontinued by GE. They offer one model that's close to the dimensions, but the size would not work well for the space I have (built-in shelf). While there are lots of compact microwaves, the issue is the depth -- most are too deep to fit on a wall shelf. This has the proper depth for sitting on a shelf without issue provided that you use a flat pig-tail adapter so that the plug doesn't jut out and prevent the microwave from sitting close to the wall. The width is less than the nearly 24 inches of the SpaceMaker, but I filled the empty shelf space with a storage cannister that I found that matches the microwave. The microwave itself is a basic model that has few bells and whistles. I only use the microwave to reheat leftovers, and this does a fine job of that. Heating is even, and the 700W, while low powered compared with larger microwaves, gets the job done just fine. The controls are easy to use and are very similar to the SpaceMaker controls, which was a plus for me. The fit and finish are much better than other compact microwaves I looked at. It will fit a full-size dinner plate without issue. It's not a perfect replacement for the SpaceMaker, but it's a workable one. It provides good functionality as a basic compact microwave, looks much nicer than you would expect for the price point, and is easy to use. A very good value for the price, especially if you can catch it on a price dip. Five stars.

Small, fits easily, does the the Trick!!

I recently purchased the Countertop Microwave Oven, and overall, I think it's a decent appliance for those who have limited counter space. As someone who lives in a small apartment, I appreciate how compact it is, as it doesn't take up too much room on my countertop. Plus, it's great for reheating basic foods like leftovers, soups, and frozen dinners. However, I do have a few complaints about this microwave. Firstly, I don't think it has enough power. It takes longer to cook or reheat compared to other microwaves I have used in the past. I wish it had at least 1000-1200 watts of power to make the cooking process faster. But, I also understand that if it had more power, the physical size of the oven would be bigger. Despite this issue, the microwave functions like any other microwave oven. It has a built-in light, and a rotating, removable, washable glass turntable to keep your food evenly cooked or warmed. It's convenient to use, and I appreciate that it's easy to clean. Overall, I think this Countertop Microwave Oven is a good option for those who are looking for an appliance that won't take up too much counter space and is great for small reheats. However, if you're looking for a microwave that has more power and can cook or reheat food faster, you may want to consider something else.

Perfect for my use as a food warmer and occasional cooker of veggies. The interior is 11 1/2W 7H and 11 1/2D. However, the actual depth of the flat floor is 10D, front to back. I included the 1/2" indent in the door and about 1" plus slope in bottom rear. Essentially, my 10 1/2 diameter, 1"H large Fiesta plate fits perfectly. I was lucky. Warning: A flatter plate may not be high enough to clear the bottom slope and door indent enough to give you the full 11 1/2D. The revolving table is about 1/2" plus from floor but sits in an indented area. The whole thing is a bit tricky to figure out if a large dinner plate over 10" is involved.. The turntable itself is 10" so obviously that will work. The exterior dimensions are 17W 10H and 11 1/2D. Again, there is a 1 1/2 bump out in the rear which makes the depth 13D. I have it on a 13 1/2 deep shelf and it sits fine. The front feet are set back about 3". I am giving this detail because this is what I needed when I was looking. I hope this saves someone the time it takes. Just imagine what I would do if I got a refrigerator. The digital control is 1= one minute, 2 = two minutes, etc. there is also a cumulative 30 second button. Under 30 seconds I guess you just stand and wait. The high power is relative low and is also adjustable downward when used with the timer. Most important for me was the 'sound " on/off " button. No more beep, beep, beep for half and hour or when I open the door. I would have bought it for that alone and made it fit the cabinet. Aesthetically, it is clean and solid looking black glass and stainless steel front. The door closes solidly, and noisily unfortunately.

This is a piece of crap. Need burned my kitchen sparks coming out of it and there’s a hole in the side of the microwave. I bought it because of a space saving thing and it got good ratings, but it really is a piece of crap and the buttons are hard to operate. It lasted about a year and a half. I stopped using it several months ago.

I didn’t realize this was such a small size microwave. It is nice and works. But it’s very small and only 700 watts. This is probably best for a dorm or small apartment. My mistake in ordering this. I will have to get a full size for the kitchen at some point. Fast shipping and easy set up were positives.

This ia a small, compact microwave which is wonderful for a limited space. It fits nicely on a shelf in my kitchen above the counter top. I use it to warm a beverage,sandwich, or small dish. This unit is well constructed and attractive.

Broke after 18 months. The power is low, which didn’t bother me that much. The door is super loud to open and shut, which didn’t bother me since this was near a napping child’s room. I loved how small it was since I hid it in a small cabinet. But popcorn bags would get hung up on the side and ultimately that’s what caused this to stop working and send sparks flying.

Save time on cooking 🧑‍🍳 and eat more vegetables 🥕.

Approx. 2 months ago (LESS THAN 1 YEAR AFTER PURCHASE) the microwave started to develop a gash on the interior back wall. It progressively got worse with more use. It then started to emit a grey smokey substance which smells like the grinding of metal. It has rendered this unit un unusable. I am deeply saddened as GE products which I have bought & used in the past were among the best quality. I have had to purchase a new one. This unit at a cost of $240, did not last 1 year. The supplier refuses to refund my money because the 30 day return policy has expired and the 1 year warranty has also expired. This is unacceptable, as this product is truly dangerous!!!
