General Electric JVM1850

Pros: easy to operate, heats well, allows to adjust time during cooking

Cons: vent doesn't really do anything, black shows fingerprints and smudges

The Bottom Line: If you want a microwave for over your range, this is a nice choice. It looks great in my kitchen and is easy for the entire family to operate.

Review: With my new house in New Hampshire, the one thing I’d done in New York that I wanted to carry through to the new home was putting the microwave over my stove. I liked it right from the moment we started doing this as I liked having the extra counter ...

Pros: Powerful, Easy to use

Cons: Un-reliable.

The Bottom Line: Unless you plan to change your microwave on a yearly basis, avoid it.

Review: This equipment came standard with my new house. I have very limited requirement for my microwave, so I didn't really look into it that much. It did it's job fine for about 18 month. It was powerful, the basic function where handy. I usually got the ...

Pros: none

Cons: technicians can't repair it, turns on automatically, works very intermittently

The Bottom Line: do not buy this unit, breaks down too easily. technicians can't seem to repair it either.

Pros: it's black

Cons: repairmen lie to you, it's a lemon

The Bottom Line: I will never purchase anything from GE again.

Pros: Great features. Second model I have had in the Spacemaker XL group.

Cons: Not reliable if it fails in only 2-1/2 years. Software glitch?

Review: It worked fine until it quit. Twice now in the past few months it stopped warming food. A power cycle solved the problem the first time. It doesn't seem to solve the problem now. GE-How about a five year warranty to prove your quality!!! This is what ...

Pros: Its junk

Cons: X

Review: In the past 3 yrs I have had two GE spacemaker microwaves burn out on me in two different houses(not an electrical issue in my house). I have friends who have had the same ...

Pros: It will be fun to sledgehammer in the middle of the street

Cons: I lose vacation each time a repairman comes out due to GE.

Review: Got this microwave with my new home on 12/17/2007 and the first one didn't work. It was replaced by the builder with a swap out - no details on the problem. Random events of the blower starting and stopping "due to heat up from the stove" says the ...
