GE JES0736 Microwave - small wonder
[[ASIN:B002X7669C GE JES0736SPSS Stainless Steel Countertop Microwave Oven]
Quick review: Totally satisfied after 8 months of moderate use. Excellent value.
My wife and I looked at every small (-1 cubic ft) microwave at all prices before choosing this one. We have a very small kitchen in our condo and counter space is at a premium. We've had this unit for 8 months and it has performed flawlessly with daily moderate use. We use it mostly for baked potatoes, leftovers, popcorn, defrosting, etc, so we haven't subjected it to heavy use.

They gave all the usual excuses, sorry-sorry-sorry, please arrange for us to service it or repack it and drive it back to the store. Nice job GE -- an American name product and customer service at its finest, and you wonder why people buy alternative Asian name products. Best Buy should stop stocking GE products if this is GE's idea of "quality control". Don't they check that products work when switched on before final packaging? I should not have to drive all the way back to the...
Piece of Junk -- Do Not Buy One
I bought this microwave less than two months ago. It seemed to be working fine, and was a nice small size.
So I threw away the box. Big mistake. Now I can't return it and it is totally broken. It operates completely at random, with no connection at all to what I enter on the key pad.
