Review on GE Profile PEM31SFSS Countertop Microwave: Stylish and Efficient Kitchen Appliance by Richard Alemayehu

Perfect size, under the counter what I wanted. And I'm amazed at how large a plate or bowl can be placed in this oven. You have the option to disable the turntable so you can use a larger rectangular pan. So many places. Also, the microwave is very quiet, much better than my previous GE microwave. I found the over to be quite powerful. I was concerned as it was only 800 watts. But it cooks a lot faster than the 1000-watt microwave it replaced (also GE, but the Monogram version). Now the BAD: The quality of this device is really, really cheap. Very cheap plastic and accessories. When you open or close it, it looks like it's about to break. What was GE thinking when they designed the door of this unit? Feels and sounds like a toy! You also have to press the buttons VERY hard for them to work. Again, more of a cheap toy than a good device. Finally, when the cooking is complete, the beep is VERY loud. This really surprises you considering how quiet the oven itself is. So get ready to hear this thing beeping anywhere in your house. It's loud enough to wake my wife up.
