    Customers are mixed about the fit of the microwave oven. Some mention that it fits perfectly in the space and the measurements were exact to the advertised size. However, others say that the measurements have changed just enough that it won't fit no matter what they do. The unit is slightly larger than the old Spacesaver, making it too big to hang from a cabinet.

    "...This one was reasonably priced and fits, but has a turntable inside that the old one did not...." Read more

    "We got this due to the form factor (fairly large inside, but not too deep or tall, this was important for us)...." Read more

    "...larger in all dimensions-- width, depth and height-- making for a very tight fit in my existing built-to-measure cabinet...." Read more

    Customers are mixed about the ease of use of the microwave oven. Some mention that it's easy to install, the controls are easy to use, and the turntable is a nice new feature. However, others say that there is no user manual, mounting instructions, and that it is not intuitive.

    "...It's much easier to lift into place, and if you accidentally lose control of it or drop it, you likely won't damage it...." Read more

    "...instructions handy, since the functionality, beyond the basics, is not intuitive...." Read more

    "...This has some newer things on it which I'm using a lot - saves a lot of time. Yup, they've improved on something that was already good." Read more

    "Works like the old one. A hassle to install, because the bolt holes didn't line up with the original microwave hanger holes...." Read more

    20 customers mention9 positive11 negative

    Customers are mixed about the noise of the microwave oven. Some mention it's super quiet, while others say it makes quite loud beeps during keypad, and a horrible loud tinny bang when latches shut. The door is much louder, and customers keep hearing food "pop". There is no way to silence the infernal and quite loud squealing, and the timer also only beepers once.

    "...My biggest complaint, is the door is extremely loud and noisy it's made of metal and hollow and makes a horrible loud tinny bang when latches shut...." Read more

    "...It’s super quiet and at 800 W I was worried it wouldn’t be strong enough but it is also powerful enough to heat tea in two minutes...." Read more

    "...I think it runs really hot and I keep hearing food “pop”. But I had to put a microwave in the same spot and it does the job...." Read more

    "...It fits nicely. It’s very quiet too...." Read more

    Customers find the readability of the microwave oven to be difficult. They mention that the buttons are hard to see, press, and feel. Some say that the numbers on the panel are impossible to read. Overall, some customers are disappointed with the read ability of the product.

    "..." and feels much less sturdy than the older model, the keypad is a little difficult to read in the dark, and the clock no longer displays AM or PM...." Read more

    "The keypad was not working properly. Sometimes the express buttons would not work but time cook would with other variations...." Read more

    "...I will agree with those who said it's difficult to read the control panel...." Read more

    Fits perfectly
    So happy with this purchase. It arrived faster than expected in great condition and delivered right to the front door. It’s super quiet and at 800 W I was worried it wouldn’t be strong enough but it is also powerful enough to heat tea in two minutes. It’s about the only microwave on the market that would fit the depth of a regular upper cabinet. Very very happy.

    3.0 out of 5 stars like many who have reviewed it here
    Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2018
    You can probably make this work...

    I purchased this microwave because, like many who have reviewed it here, we have it located below a cabinet with cabinets on either side, and the previous Spacesaver II finally quit working after nearly 10 years. Because this new GE device is slightly larger than the previous one, I agonized over fixing the old one or purchasing this new one--the price was about the same.

    I decided to purchase this new one. It is about the same quality as the earlier 1.0 cubic feet microwave (I paid about $100 for that, so we know that mostly I was concerned about size and not trying to impress the neighbors, even though the appliances in our kitchen are top end KitchenAid, with a refrigerator that is finished like the cabinets, a built in double oven and a range top on granite). All appliances, including this new microwave, are ALL BLACK.

    While this unit is slightly larger in all dimensions, it was easily accommodated in the space used by the previous device. The bulges in the aluminum shield on the back required me to carve out more sheet rock behind the unit, and while it is ever so bigger vertically, it was not a problem on the sides where it abutted the cabinets. I used the same mounting kit that held the previous unit in place, noting that I'd had to drill it out somewhat to make both of them (this unit as well as the previous one) install properly. For this new unit I had to cut about an inch off the front end of one of the metal strips to make it fit. I could just as easily used machine screws and oversized washers in place of the mounting kit.

    While installation is possible by a single individual, this would have gone a bit more quickly with an extra set of hands. Put the box that GE ships the unit in underneath the device while you install it. It's much easier to lift into place, and if you accidentally lose control of it or drop it, you likely won't damage it.

    My closing comment is to be sure you check out the ratings of the shipper. This unit arrived in a very large cardboard box that was difficult to handle by a single individual. It was banged up on two corners, very dirty and scuffed. When I picked it up, the microwave inside rapidly began to move and I nearly lost control of the entire package and actually hurt my back in my endeavor to keep from dropping it. When I opened the very large cardboard box (well over double the volume of the packaged microwave), there was a single piece of brown wrapping paper that was thrown in for good measure by some uncaring employee to keep the much smaller box inside from moving. No foam, cardboard or wadded up newspaper. If you peruse these reviews you'll find that mine is not an isolated instance of this. As the unit seemed to work fine during testing, I elected to install it but only time will tell. These are relatively sensitive units and the magnetrons especially are not shock resistant. My unit was shipped by Dynamic deals. They get good reviews. Hopefully this was a one time screw up by them and they'll not repeat the mistake. Believe me, if this stops working anytime soon I will return it and purchase it from another vendor.
