we purchased this unit to replace our 22 year old GE Spacesaver Microwave. It has lived up to our expectations. The features are amazing and the quietness of the unit is great. It is only 800 watts but seems to be more efficient than the 1000 watt unit it replaced. My only dislike is that the door makes an incredible amount of noise when you close it. There doesn't seem to be anything you can do about it.

Control Panel Issue

The numbers and words on the control panel are not very bright and hard to read. They should be a brighter color or have illumination in the background.

I needed a microwave to fit a certain space and I had an older GE that I liked but was going bad. This one fit the bill but for 400.00 it is a disappointment! Seems much more cheaply built and everything is black so it is hard to see the controls. It runs quietly so I am pleased with that aspect of it.

My old microwave oven that we had for 8 years just quit working. It was too expensive to fix so we were happy that GE still made the undercabinet model identical to our old one.

Replacement Microwave
Funks Grove

I purchased this PEM31DF2BB model to replace my old GE under the cabinet microwave that was 10 years old. I was told the mounting holes would would line up with my existing holes They did not. The power cord was on the opposite side of the machine which caused some difficulty in installation as well. The most frustrating feature is that none of the display control buttons illuminate. They are almost impossible to read ! The clock numbers illuminate nicely. Even if the control buttons indications were in white paint it would help. You have to almost put your nose on the panel to see what each button's function is. Also, the timer only gives one beep signal when it is finished. If you are out of the room and don't hear it then you missed your only signal. My old GE microwave timer beeped until you turned it off, constantly reminding you that time was up! And my old GE Microwave had illuminated control buttons. Why would you change these features??? I am disappointed that installation was difficult and these features make the unit that much more difficult to use.

I was told when I ordered this replacement microwave oven, which needed to fit unusual size parameters, that I should expect to wait up to 4 to 5 months due to supply chain issues and the situation with container ships. Wasn't I surprised when I was notified after only 1 month that my item had arrived. It fits the space and works as expected.

I find The button to open the door is a bit stiff to push and the door feels very light, given the premium price I would've liked a more substantial feel. I haven't really used it much yet but the look is perfect, fit is perfect and the design is easy for everyone to use. I love the fact that you can turn the turntable off and I can't wait to see how the Sensor Cook feature works, hoping it makes up for the low 800 watts….and hoping it has a great useful life for the price…

This microwave was purchased to replace another GE Spacesaver microwave we purchased back in 1996. The old microwave was still working perfectly but the metal insides were starting to show signs of wear. Our new Spacesaver microwave worked perfectly right out of the box. It is very easy to use, and we love some of the features, such as being able to turn the turntable on and off and the 30 seconds of extra cook time button.

The bottom of the plastic film covering the controls has peeled loose slightly. A back light of the panel in low light would be handy. I do like the feature to turn off the turn table. From a general perspective, the model works well otherwise.

We are on our 3rd microwave of this model as the 1st one lasted about 8 yrs, the second one lasted 32 days. We gave GE a another try ... but if this one disappoints, it will be 3rd strike and we will have to look to change brands to be loyal to.

Looking for an 800 watt microwave oven
SheMar
10/12/2021
I was looking for an 800 watt microwave oven to go in my back hall. I had previously had a GE Profile and liked it. This one is similar, but MUCH quieter. It also seems a bit more efficient in heating the food. It looks nice! On the negative side, the door is a little bit hard to open--maybe a safety feature?--but can be annoying. This also applies to the buttons.

Not comparable to its predecessor!!
CDolan
9/11/2021
This microwave pretty much sucks compared to its predecessor (PEM31DM4BB)! The buttons are harder to push (you have to be very deliberate and directly over the center of pad), the door feels clunky, cheap and is VERY loud when it's shut. The button to open the door is flimsy. The logo is not centered on the door, instead it's centered on the microwave and is awkwardly noticeable. The glass tray in smaller - even though my larger one fits and rotates without any issues. The door has a piece of plastic that protrudes for some strange reason which I'm sure will break soon! Basically everything about this microwave looks and feels like a cheaper manufacturer. The buttons are also placed in an odd configuration compared to my previous microwave (not intuitive) - especially the 30 sec option.
It's seriously like they took a great microwave and made it really crappy.

The tray is very small, for the space that's in there. It does not balance well on the tray holder. It is only 800W and I told the dealer I wanted at least a 1000W microwave.
The buttons are hard to push and I have arthritis, especially in my hands and fingers.
Because I was told by the friends who sent me to this dealer, that he would come out and measure and bring me a brochure with what they had. He did not do this but gave the telephone to a lady at the store. This was the only one they had available!

Mainly for food heating use. So far no mechanical issues. Very clanky when opening and closing the door; actually, can't use it when family is asleep. But it is the only size that fits my cabinet. This unit was number 3. The first 2 arrived damaged one with dents the other had a door that did not close properly.

We replaced a 1997 GE microwave with this model and it is fine for what we use it for which is heating up coffee and leftovers and microwaving popcorn. I will say it is much stronger than our former microwave, so much so that I tried to dry basil the first day I had it and basically incinerated the basil!!! Still getting used to the more powerful machine after 15 years with an old machine. A word to everyone, be careful and proceed with caution..new appliances are much stronger than what you may be used to. Good product for the price and the compact size was exactly what we needed for the space. I do think the buttons are a bit hard to read...didn't have that problem on my old model. Also, the light inside could be a bit brighter...maybe two bulbs instead of one? We're satisfied with our purchase though and trust GE Profile products with past positive experiences.

The unit runs well and is very quiet. Door opening button is fairly hard to push; requires finger strength. Do not like the set up of the touch panel. The location of the cook button in the middle of the options display is awkward; Would be much easier to maneuver if it was placed at either the top or bottom of this column. Easy to confuse it with the Timer On/Off button directly above it. More thoughtful placement of the display buttons would make this unit more user friendly. Door close is very loud.

One month after 12 month warranty expired a microswitch failed rendering the product useless. The light and fan remain on when oven is off. After some research it became evident that repair will cost me the same or more than the $300 I paid for the oven originally. Instead I'll just add it to the waste stream and avoid GE in the future.

I am really happy with the GE Profile 1.1 cubic ft. countertop microwave I purchased a few weeks ago. I had the same GE Profile microwave for 14 years and it turned out to be a very reliable microwave. When I had to finally purchase a new one I looked at many brands and models but decided to go with GE Profile. It was a great decision. It is quiet (even more than my previous one) and so far looks to be a prudent purchase.

3/28/2021
If you want to replace your old built-in PEM31DMBB Profile oven, this countertop is as close you will get to the same dimensions, albeit about an inch taller. With all the same features and controls as the older built-in (that required a trim), this countertop should fit in the same built-in alcove as the old one. You may have to jury-rig your own trim to cover a larger space at the top...but there are many options to do this. Only complaint: the control panel is more difficult to read than the old Profile, which was very easy to read.

This was the only size that would fit the space. Sorry I didn't get the more expensive one with the stainless panels because the black really shows fingerprints, etc. The touch buttons require quite a hard press...too hard in my opinion. Inside space doesn't seem as big as previous GE Spacemaker because the handle of one cooking vessel I used all the time in the previous one is just a bit too long to fit in this one. Cooks fine but only so so in looks and inside size and button operation.

Our microwave oven was a replacement to an earlier model, same line, same size, same appearance. Was installed under a cabinet. We discovered only after this installation that the control buttons do not light up. Our previous GE unit included back-lit numbers and buttons, and now the new unit does not. We consider this a very poor choice, if only because we must turn on the kitchen ceiling light to read the numbers and buttons. Bad design in a newer mode.

Have just purchased our 4th GE microwave of this 'spacesaver' size, and are so upset that the controls are not lit and are impossible to read without shining a light on them. Also as others have mentioned the door is extremely loud. Both of these issues are readily obvious......shame on GE! An apology solves nothing.
