General Electric JEM25

Pros: Great Efficient Long Lasting Dynamo

Cons: Brad Pitt is not using it nude in my kitchen

The Bottom Line: I think for a great little microwave, this model is outstanding

Review: To tell you the truth, I think I was prejudiced against General Electric products. For some reason, I always thought they were the low-end models to buy. I must admit at this point that I should be flogged, stoned and sent to microwave penitentiary...

Pros: Fits the space we wanted to use

Cons: Noisier than our previous one

Review: Our last GE Spacemaker II lasted 17 years and we wanted one just like it for space reasons. Were we ever delighted when we found the GE JEM25! The dimensions were just about the same. Just unpacked it from the box and slotted it in the old space. So...

Pros: its small

Cons: Guaranteed to break again and again !

Review: Add my name to the list of the duped. GE continues to manufacture an extremely unreliable microwave oven with the intention of drawing a neverending stream of repair and service call revenue to deal with their junky products. The spacemaker will...

Pros: Space saver design.

Cons: Noise and tinny construction.

Review: I purchased this microwave approximately 1 month ago. I would NOT recommend it. The back metal plate vibrates when the unit is turned on, and it is ridiculously noisy. Very aggravating! I owned an older model GE space saver prior to this and was...

Pros: Great features when they work.....

Cons: I'd rather have a bookshelf!

The Bottom Line: If you buy, be prepared to replace this model on a regular basis.

Review: Ten years ago we bought a GE Spacemaker MW for our new house. It died after 6 years. We thought this was a rather short life for a microwave but dismissed it as a fluke and bought another. To our surprise, we didn't have a lot of replacement...

Pros: size, easy to use controls

Cons: Noisy, poor quality, second identical model to stop working after a few months

Review: This microwave was a warranty replacement for the first one (reviewed, April '06). The first one lasted about 6 months, this one has lasted 10 months. It begins to to cycle on, then stops after 1 to 20 seconds producing either a blank display, error...

Pros: Great to hang under a counter

Cons: More expensive than similar ovens that do no hang under a counter

Review: This is a solidly made microwave, and it is explicitly made to hang under a counter or inside one. It is much less deep than most countertop models - under 13inches. So if you have a lot of clearance between your countertop and cabinets (the...

Pros: Installs up and off the counter

Cons: apparently unsafe operation

Review: I bought and installed my new JEM31 yesterday and installed it, and tonight cooked two small potatoes according to the instructions and using the "potato" button which has the sensor feature. In a few moments it started making an odd noise and when...
