Second time around
We replaced our 15 year old GE Profile Spacemaker with a new updated GEProfile Spacemaker Microwave Oven. It is basically the same one with big subtle improvements. I am probably the only one who used the old microwave with all of
its bells and whistles. I am amazed at how updated these items are today.
Forinstance to cook fresh vegetables just load them in and push the veggie button.
Somehow it senses when they are cooked to perfection and not rubber. I cooked a
perfect scrambeled egg in one minute, stirring once.
We oredered the undermount hardware just because. Guess what? Since we replaced
the identical microwave the old mount fit perfectly. Oh well.
I really would have loved it in stainless steel but didn't see it offered.
I do hope this gives us another 15 years but at that price I am not too worried
about the track record. The first GE over the stove microwave I bought 30 years
ago was $600!
Best Value for its Size, But It Can Die
This GE model gave us the most cooking power, ease of operation and reliability for its size and price. When we were remodeling our kitchen, choosing this model gave us enough extra space to have our carpenter create a storage niche for baking trays. Amazon got it to us in a couple of days when, amazingly, no local dealer had it in stock.
TWO YEARS UPDATE, 11/11/10: Heating one cup of tea too many, it made a sickening stink because it was burning internally. We had to take it outside right away because of the smell. But it's such a good machine, and it fits our space that was customized for it, we ordered another one from Amazon.
Don't buy GE microwaves
When the magnetron goes (common problem for GE microwaves) they won't send a replacement even though it comes with a 10 year warranty - they will send a tech out and charge you about $175 to install the free part - which may last the 13 months that ours did.
