Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Small but Mighty

11/8/2018

I purchased this microwave to replace the same model I had purchased fifteen years ago. It is shallow in depth and so sits nicely on a shelf below a wall cabinet. It is powerful enough to do what I need it to do -- cook a frozen item reheat leftovers or warm up my coffee.

Sleek compact large capacity

10/27/2018

This is my fourth of this model over 22 years. I designed a kitchen cabinet around it - chose it because of its narrow depth so it fits in sleekly with my contemporary kitchen. I did give up power for that - at only 800 watts you need to cook most things just a bit longer. I love the unit but am just a bit gun-shy as the paint in the top interior of my last one bubbled and began to peel exposing metal. I was told it wasnt covered under the extended warranty because it didnt affect the functionality of the oven. I wasnt comfortable exposing my family to peeling paint and whatever rays were bombarding around so I tossed it. Just hoping this one does better. Its pretty pricey for a unit that you can expect to get four years out of but Im stuck with the size needed and it does look great and cook great for awhile.

Change in profile series

10/12/2018

I am replacing previous GE profile which only lasted 3 years with this newer model. Noisy when operated compared with previous model and not as sleek looking. Much boxier while previous model had curved lines. Needed to purchase this model due to space. They also changed position of under cabinet bolts so had to redrill new holes. Also pricey compared to units of this size.

Fits my space perfectly

9/29/2018

We purchased this particular microwave because it fits my shelf space exactly as it needed it to. It replaces another GE Profile Microwave. Overall it is an excellent good quality product. We like that it doesnt sound tinny or feel flimsy. It would get 5 stars but we find the numbers and words on the buttons difficult to read. It would be better if they lit up or something. I also wish it had been available in at least 1000 watts but the 900 gets the job done.

Nothing remarkable

9/16/2018

This GE Profile microwave replaces a similar unit that is 10 years old. Same cooking watts 800 but a little larger vertically inside 1cf -- 1.1cf which means the exterior dimensions are a little higher. I have a very shallow shelf 13 this unit must sit in so I was quite limited in the microwave units available. My biggest disappointment is the control pad: My old unit had white lettering on all the buttons which means they could be seen in a dark room. This new unit has VERY dark-colored lettering on the buttons which makes it VERY difficult to see the buttons without a lot of light in the room.

This is a nice compact microwave and is so quiet Im not sure its running at times. It has plenty of features to make it a good microwave. On the negative side the door open/close feature works poorly. It takes two hands to open the microwave one to push the button and the other to pull the door open.

Perfect for the right space

9/13/2018

If youre looking for a low profile microwave to fit into a tight space this might be the ticket for you. Understand ahead of time that this has less voltage than some of the bigger microwaves which is the trade off with a small profile machine like this but if the space is your main concern then its OK. The food will still get warm just not as fast as it would with a bigger machine. Just focus on all that space you saved. Ive been very pleased.

Compact Microwave Oven

9/7/2018

Nice compact microwave. But this is my third one in 11 years. The first two lasted about five years each and then in both of them the interior paint flaked off some of it ending up in the food. I expect that the same will happen with this one but GE is the only company that makes this size so Im stuck with it.

Clumsy door with bad placement of keypad buttons

9/5/2018

The overall look is fine. The bottom to open the door is harder to engage compared to the Spacemaker II model. Its just that much bigger so now I cant open the microwave door all the way because it hits the abutting cabinet. My option to or even this was to have it jut out more which is not acceptable Im not sure who thought that INCREASING the size of a microwave thats basically made to be built in was a good idea. I also wonder who thought that putting the cook time button amongst the other buttons was a good idea. Its the primary button that people will use yet its not in a logical or natural place on the keypad. The writing ON the keypad buttons is too faint. I hate this thing already and Ive had it for 10 minutes. Its too bad that I dont have another option from GE or another manufacturer because Im not looking forward to having to use this microwave for the next several years.

The GE Space Saver is the only microwave that has a good cabinet width and does not stick out beyond the cabinets when mounted under a cabinet. Perfect to mount above our coffee station when we remodelled our kitchen. We no longer wanted a big microwave above our stove. This allowed us to open the area above the stove for better ventilation and updated look. Microwave works great and can turn table can be turned off with large items.

Worst Microwave Ever

8/30/2018

We bought this microwave to replace a previous GE Profile unit that had served us well for almost 10 years. From the very start this one was incinsistent in the way it cooked - undercooking one time and then burning the food the next. It also has an issue with condensation inside the unit that is so bad we had to move the microwave out from the wood cabinet that housed the older unit and on to the counter because it constantly drips water on to the surface when you open the unit door. You have to mop up the water from the floor of the microwave every time you cook something. This unit is absolutely a piece of junk and I would never buy another GE unit again.
