GE  24'' 1.0 cu. ft. Spacemaker II™ Microwave Oven

I was a little disappointed with the actual depth of the microwave as it indicated 12.3in. but there was a white piece that stuck out an inch that really made the microwaves depth at 13in. Nice looking and width is nice for wider plates. I placed it in on a built in shelf in the kitchen

This is a replacement for an old Spacemaker that died. Our only complaints have to do with the physical differences. The brackets from the old one do not work with the new one necessitating a complete new hanging installation. The bottom of the new one is all metal vs non slip feet on the old one. A countertop or shelf installation requires some material added to keep it from slipping. The last difference was the turntable, which is a positive change. From an operational standpoint, it's a great little microwave when space is an issue.

Easy to use. Seems to be built well. Turntable can be turned on and off which is a great feature for oversized dishes and for even heating. The delayed start feature is a great new feature so your dinner will be ready as you step in the door.

This unit replaced a 20 year old Spacemaker II that was done in by a power surge that took out several other applainces too. The old one was built like a brick. Fortunately, this new one is a lot lighter but still looks like it will last. They have added a turntable that can be turned off, a great feature. Delayed start is another new feature that we will definitely use. So far, it is easy to use and seems to work great.

This is a nice product. Works very well. The design is sleek and slim and is a good countertop design. I am happy with the purchase.

Had the previous generation that lasted over 10 years.

We purchased this GE microwave (from a competitor's online site) because of it's size, and the magnetron failed just over 1 year. Fortunately we had read reviews and had purchased the extended warranty. The warranty company which is contracted with this particular competitor required that we take the microwave 25 miles away to an appliance repair shop. With the price of gasoline, this is a frustration to say the least. If you DO purchase from Sears, ask where the item is to be taken for service and DO purchase the extended warranty because the microwave WILL fail just after 1 year.

We bought this microwave in January of 2011. It is now October, 2012 and the inside paint is blistering and peeling, making it unsafe to use. Very disappointed.

I purchased this oven to replace my original SpaceMaker II purchased in 1986 (it was still working, just time to update). The new Spacemaker has more wattage plus a turntable and cooks plenty fast. The digital controls are straight forward and intuitive, the express cook buttons are handy for quick re-heats. Overall this oven is much lighter built than the '86 model, lots of plastic (including the door catches. The door seems quite flimsy but so far no problems. It will be interesting where this oven is 26 years. I also had planned to use the under counter mounting kit from the 86 model (it didn't fit). The 2012 mounting kit is also light weight, obviously to match the light weight microwave. The installation process with the new kit is ridiculous. The brackets are screwed directly to the oven requiring it to be perfectly supported and aligned with your cabinet mounting holes. With the 86 kit the brackets are installed then the oven is hung on the brackets and then the brackets tightened up and secured...... a much better engineered bracket. Now that the unit is mounted and in operation I am very pleased with the oven's performance.

Perfect! I had been looking for a microwave that was rather small! This has all the features of a larger one! I love it!
