Good while it lasted 6.5 years

This appliance worked well while it lasted, around 6.5 years for me, but mine has stopped heating. Repair is impractical: A GE-authorized repair tech visit would be $100 regardless of repairability, plus parts & labor, so the numbers say to just replace the unit. Repair shops no longer exist. I expected a much longer working life and am disappointed.

We bought this to replace its predecessor that was 10 years old. The size works well for our space. After install I noticed where the door hits the inside of the unit the paint is chipped. When I called to have service come out the technician said it's just cosmetic and there's nothing they would do. I'm worried that in a few years the whole front panel will be chipped away. This was the reason we got rid of the old one. Although it worked fine the whole ceiling of the microwave was peeling paint.

Had to replace our 10yo unit due to the clock/timer display becoming too dim to read and peeling of the inside coating. So far the new unit seems to work well and we are happy with the unit.

GE Spacemaker Built-in Microwave Oven
Chef Superstar 80
4/1/2021
The install to replace the older similar model was easy and we were able to use the old microwave's hanging kit by drilling new holes into the top of our cabinet. No need to buy a new hanging kit.
This will be our 3rd GE Spacemaker replacement microwave. The inside paint coating has delaminates and peeled off on all three after only about two years' use. This microwave is double the price of most other similar brands but unfortunately we're stuck buying it because it's the only model that'll fit the built in cabinet opening we have.
All GE would have to do to make this customer happy isn't to offer it with a stainless steel interior option, once and for all. It's ashamed to throw away expensive microwaves just because the paint inside peels off.

the microwave is fine, but your optional trim kit is not well designed. there is to large a gap around the oven. i had to return it and order a custom trim kit which looks and fits much better. it was made by a company called microtrim

even though we've had the same kind of over and over the years I replaced three of them in the last 12 years. Most were solid sounding. This one feels cheap and flimsy. They have all been the 1.1 ft.³ microwave which Has to fit in a certain area. It fit perfectly but Justin feel the same as the previous models or versions of the same microwave.

Having had this for almost two months, I am thus far pleased with this microwave. It fits our cabinet space which will only accommodate smaller ovens. the interior is a bit cramped but with the ability to turn off the turntable is workable. It's wattage was initially a concern since we previously had an 1100 watt unit but thus far have not noticed a huge difference in cooking times. YMMV. The GE Spacesaver model we had a couple of ovens ago lasted 35 years. Let's hope this one lasts a long time.

We had the old space saver oven which we really liked but had to replace it. We were disappointed that GE increased the sized of the microwave which made it extremely challenging to fit it in the old space, and at the same they reduced the power from 1100 to 800 watts.

The microwave works fine, but I think the prior GE Profile model was built better. This model only beeps once when the timer or cooking is finished. The prior model beeped repeatedly until turned off, a good feature. Bought this model as it was the only one that would fit the cabinet opening. Wish they still made the old model and size.

I have been buying the GE PEM31 series microwaves for 21 years as it is the only unit that fits my built in cabinet. They have always looked great with the GE metal trim kit. Naturally, when my previous 8-year old unit died I immediately bought this unit. To my surprise, it is a quarter inch taller and doesn't fit. Customer support said to buy the new trim kit. The new trim kit is plastic and requires a different size cabinet opening. Over a $1000 of cabinet work later I now have it installed.
As for the unit itself, the turntable is smaller than the old model and the door open button is very stiff. It is obvious that GE is trying to save cost on this model.
Before I bought my previous unit I read a review that said it was small and under powered, but it made up for it by being overpriced. That review is accurate for this model too.

I am on my second GE microwave in 4 weeks. The first one lasted 2 weeks because twice it wouldn't start on Express start 3. Canceling made it worse because then NOTHING started. After I cooked my dinner at a neighbor's and tried later in the evening it worked again. So far my second one (same model) has had the identical problem once. Holding my breath! If there is a "next time" I am switching stores and the GE brand. I am still waiting for my new GE range following an electrical fire. Hopefully the range will work better than the microwave!

This microwave replaced a bigger GE microwave. Unfortunately, power levels on this one are lower. This makes reheating items to take longer. Of course this is not a product flaw but simply a by-product of downsizing.

Our last microwave lasted almost 20 years and we were able to find the latest version - just in stainless. It's much quieter and has the rotating plate. It's a great improvement over the old one. This is just the right size for our kitchen and we were hard pressed to find anything else that fits our tiny space. Great value and quality in this product.

I was replacing a 20-year-old built-in microwave which was the same brand. The cabinet it is in is not huge, so not many would fit - but this one does! This is the newer model. The old one lasted a long time. I hope the same will be said for this one. It does potatoes beautifully and so far, we're loving it.
