Review 2 for GE 2.2 Cu. Ft. Full-Size Microwave - Stainless-Steel
This machine is just what I expected...great!
Customer Rating
5.0
What's great about it: Sensor cooking. Easy to view food cooking. Evenly cooked foods. Large cooking space/turntable. Quiet.
What's not so great: No issues to date.
I bought this machine 2+ months ago, and I'm very pleased with it's performance. I had a microwave w/sensor in the past by another manufacturer, and was extremely pleased with it. I purchased this one because of the good price and the upgraded features. And in reading the reviews, I took into account the area where purchased, the date it was purchased, and problems. I did purchase the warranty, but I really don't expect to use it based upon the good performance so far. The sensor works great for quick, even cooking. It's perfect for corn on the cob, for one example. No calculating time or adding amount--one-touch cooking! And I do like the inverter defrost--it really does defrost more evenly! I do recommend this machine!

This microwave would run for about 3 seconds and then stop. Even though it is the top rated microwave by consumer reports, have a look at their user reviews. Many of them had the same experience and gave it a 2 out of 5 stars. Do not buy this microwave. It is a piece of junk.

What's great about it: great price...great performance
What's not so great: no negatives so far!
This microwave oven is a perfect size. It is big enough to accomodate a 9x13 glass bakeware. It has a moisture sensor as well as timer that really helps not over cook food. The design of the oven is very attractive and the controls are very easy to use. The price was very good at Best Buy.

What's great about it: Easy to use buttons
What's not so great: Didn't last any longer than any other brand I've tried thus far, so not anything special.
Purchased it in March, 2008. Stopped working correctly Sept, 2011. That's 3 and 1/2 years it lasted. Took great care of it, and didn't experience any trouble till turntable stopped revolving, and it's too expensive to repair. My Sharp before this one lasted about the same length of time, as did my Panasonic before that. I haven't had any last all that long a time. We do use the microwave daily and take good care of it. Would say that this one is just average.

If I had to do it over, I would not buy this microwave. I miss my buttons on my old microwave that all you did was press 1 through 6 and it cooked for 1 to 6 minutes. This microwave interupts your wifi connection. Once the microwave is finished cooking or reheating, your wifi comes back. I had a tech come out to see if we had radiation leakage which we do not. By the time I figured out what was interfering with the internet, my 30 days to return it had expired. Using a router booster did not help either. That was another $80 down the drain.

What's great about it: Power cooks quickly and sensor cooking works great
What's not so great: only thing that was not so great was the price
This microwave does everything, I had a Sharp Microwave before this oneand it lasted just over 10 years, I was going to get another Sharp but they only had the smaller ones in stock....So I went with this one and I have to say the features are much better,,,,The reheat works perfectly.....press reheat and it sensors the food and everytime so far has come out great....The price was a little high even with 10% off but I'm glad I bought it.....I just hope it last as long as my Sharp....I do use it a number times a day

What's not so great: 4 to 6 mo. shelf life for us
We now own our 2nd GE profile. The first one lasted 6 mo. and the keypad screwed up and finally did not work at all. We bought an exact replacement because it fit the built in spot perfectly and matched the other stainless appliances. It conked out just like the first one in only four months.

What's not so great: Did not work for very long.
I would give their products a ZERO. In July of 2006 we purchased a GE Profile Spacemaker 2.0. After less than four years, the key pad on the control panel began to act up, and has now (July 2010) completely gone out. It will cost $300 to have the control panel replaced, which is more than we payed for the microwave to begin with.
Consumers should not have to replace their major kitchen appliances every three or four years. Our first microwave lasted for 12 years before the magnatron gave out.

What's great about it: Consumer Report rated it best buy and I belive them
What's not so great: Haven't found anything I didn't like.
This is my second GE Profile microwave. The first I had for eight (8) years and hated to part with it but in the long run it was cheaper to purchase a new one. So far I am very happy with the new one and hope it will last as long or longer than the old one. Looks great, works great and the huge turn table is wonderful.

What's great about it: Easy to use control buttons
What's not so great: Door opener tends to stick
I have read the other reviews with major problems, however my unit has worked very well since purchased 14 months ago. I agree that the popcorn feature leaves a lot to be desired with only three weight settings to choose from - none of which match my popcorn. I have never had the time reset as one review states. Overall I'd buy it again, but I recommend the 4 year ($20) service plan because my last two microwaves quit working after 3 1/2 years. Different brands but made by the same manufacturer.

What's great about it: looks good
What's not so great: it cannot cook microwave popcorn
I could not wait to receive this microwave as I had read reviews and looked forward to all of the different features. However, it cannot perform the most basic function - making popcorn, which my husband eats several times a week.
Selecting the "popcorn" key on the microwave results in 1/2 cooked popcorn and we've tried every brand out there. If you add time so that the kernels are popped, the popcorn comes out burnt every time! Even though there are features which I do like about this microwave, I wish that I had never purchased this model because of this issue.
