GE Microwave - Profile JVM1790 Reviews

We got this microwave as a replacement for a brand new model by Jen-Air that never worked and had parts on "permanent backorder".

In re-modeling our very small kitchen we needed a multi-taker, combination Micro hood with convection oven.    This unit fit the bill nicely, and has impressed us ever since.

The fan has 3 speeds and can really move the air to the outside vent.  No more setting off the smoke detectors while sautéing onions!!!  It is not nearly as loud as other fans, but it is not whisper quite either.

The surface light is nice and bright in "High", you can actually see with...

MY GE MICROWAVE HAS GOT TO BE THE EASIEST TO OPERATE. THE KIDS CAN DO IT BECAUSE IT IS EASY TO READ AND UNDERSTAND. IT IS SAFE. AND VERY INEXPENSIVE. I HAVE HAD MINE FOR OVER 6 YEARS AND IT IS STILL LIKE NEW.  I COOK, BAKE, REHEAT, MAKE POPCORN WHICH THE SETTING IS PERFECT FOR. NOT HARDLY ANY SEEDS IN THE BAG BECAUSE IT POPS SO WELL.  IT'S A GOOD STARTER  AND DOESN'T TAKE UP A LOT OF SPACE.

I've had to replace this machine twice through the manufacturer's warranty and GE still gave me a very hard time about swapping out for new! The Profile spent more time not working than working. It was noisy and downright scary! The biggest problem wasn't so much the Profile but GE and their unwillingness to provide customer service. Please don't waste your time on this appliance. Your family will thank you!

I have a kitchen full of 6-year-old appliances, all Jenn-Air, Maytag and Whirlpool.  Only two have functioned well, and the GE Profile Microwave is one of them!  It's great. Two tiny complaints, as with all stainless steel it's difficult to keep smudge free and seems to be a bit scratched.  Also, was difficult to find replacement light bulbs at first.  Not carried in stores, but got a special order at an appliance parts distributor.  First one cost $35!!  On subsequent visits, they charged me a more normal $4 to $6.
