Improvements from the older model
I bought my first Spacesaver microwave when I was remodeling my kitchen and wanted something usable but unobtrusive. Alas, after 12 years, the microwave bit the dust. I wanted to get something that would fit where the old one was, and it turns out that GE has a lock on that market - could not find any other microwave that would fit into a 24 inch wide, 13 inch high cubby.
GE makes two versions of the Spacemaker microwave. The JEM25 line (this one) is the more basic model. It offers a fair amount of features, including several that were lacking in my original, such as a turntable. Wattage is 800. Love the one-touch buttons and the add 30 second button - those were my favorite features on the old one, and I'm glad they were retained. Also nice to be able to turn the turntable off when you have big, rectangular dishes. This model comes in black or white.
The PEM31 line is a step up. In addition to black and white, it comes in stainless. It is the same size as the...
Great microwave. Perfect fit.
I searched all over for a microwave to go on a shelf that was made specifically to hold a microwave over my stove. The shelf is only cabinet size deep. I didn't realize how hard that is to find! I didn't want to spend a fortune on removing the shelving and oven hood that goes w/ my cabinetry to purchase a built in microwave. This works perfectly! Looks great and is the perfect depth. Very happy.-*****after a year and 2 months of owning this microwave it has now stopped working. Made horribly. Looks good, but not worth the price to last a year!
DO NOT BUY THIS MICROWAVE!!!
This is my 2nd GE microwave to catch fire and my third to die in a short period of time. I went to Consumer Product Safety Council website and apparently this has been happening to dozens of people for years with no recall of what seems to be a faulty component in a number of their microwaves. Stay away - this could have burned down my house I'm lucky that I was home, was able to put out the fire and that my kids weren't hurt. Unfortunately, I remodeled my kitchen with a custom cabinet that fits only this microwave. They offered to replace it with the same product - why would I want a 4th faulty microwave from them?! I'm screwed but save yourself the danger and the headache!
Just found out there is a class action suit against GE for continuing to market faulty microwaves even though they know there is a fire risk with their components.
