General Electric JVM1850 1000 Watts Microwave Oven

Pros: easy to operate, heats well, allows to adjust time during cooking
Cons: vent doesn't really do anything, black shows fingerprints and smudges

With my new house in New Hampshire, the one thing I’d done in New York that I wanted to carry through to the new home was putting the microwave over my stove. I liked it right from the moment we started doing this as I liked having the extra counter ...

Pros: none
Cons: technicians can't repair it, turns on automatically, works very intermittently

Do not buy this microwave. We have had a Maytag repair guy out 6 times in the past 2 years to service it. They have basically swapped out all button panels, boards, and internal parts leaving only the shell. Yet still the microwave operates randomly ...

Pros: Powerful, Easy to use
Cons: Un-reliable.

This equipment came standard with my new house. I have very limited requirement for my microwave, so I didn't really look into it that much. It did it's job fine for about 18 month. It was powerful, the basic function where handy. I usually got the ...

Pros: it's black
Cons: repairmen lie to you, it's a lemon

In March, 2005, we purchased a GE over-the-stove microwave from the store. We had it professionally installed by the store. We purchased an extended warranty contract directly with GE, not a third party. This microwave acted up from the beginning; when ...

Pros: Great features. Second model I have had in the Spacemaker XL group.
Cons: Not reliable if it fails in only 2-1/2 years. Software glitch?

It worked fine until it quit. Twice now in the past few months it stopped warming food. A power cycle solved the problem the first time. It doesn't seem to solve the problem now. GE-How about a five year warranty to prove your quality!!!

This is what discourages folks from American Corporate products. Look what's happening to Ford & GM.

Pros: Its junk
Cons: X

In the past 3 yrs I have had two GE spacemaker microwaves burn out on me in two different houses(not an electrical issue in my house). I have friends who have had the same problems.

Pros: It will be fun to sledgehammer in the middle of the street
Cons: I lose vacation each time a repairman comes out due to GE.

Got this microwave with my new home on 12/17/2007 and the first one didn't work. It was replaced by the builder with a swap out - no details on the problem.

Random events of the blower starting and stopping "due to heat up from the stove" says the repair man. I say screwed up electrical boards.

On 3/22/2008 unit stops heating food. Repairman arrives on 3/28/2008 and says its the magnatron and it is on back order with additional 455 other folks. Luckily I still have the panasonic counter model that has never failed and just works.

Thanks Jack Welch where's your stock now. American back stabbing sob.

Pros: None.
Cons: do not even think of buying this microwave.

Our's also was a builder installed microwave. After 14 mos. it didn't work right. Asked for a new one because my neighbor had her's replaced under the warranty. But GE tech said he fixed every part that could go wrong. 5 mos. later everything is working except it doesn't microwave. Warranty expired 2 weeks before so GE said too bad. Goodbye GE.
