padrone217 says "Design Flaw for Using Recirculating Fan" about GE Microwave - Spacemaker JVM1540

I am disappointed with this microwave. I guess I get what I paid for. I don't have a vent to the outside of my home for exhaust fan. Instead, I have the exhaust recirculate within my kitchen. In order to combat the smell, I bought one of the charcoal filters that GE recommends. However, it is totally useless because it does not totally cover up the exhaust port. It only sides in completely to cover up one half of the exhaust port whie the other half receives no treatment. So every time we use the fan, the grease doesn't get trapped because the force of the fan is so great, that the greasy air will bypass the charcoal filter and go out the other half of the exhaust port (which has no filtration whatsoever) where there is least resistance. I end up with a greasy mess on my cabinets and ceiling above the microwave every time my wife uses the fan when she fries things on our stove. I know I have the right charcoal filter too as I have verified that numerous times. What a...

I had no choice selecting the appliances brand name as GE was chosen by the builder. Now I wish I had a choice to pick a higher quality appliances. I have had issues also with my dishwasher. GE needs to regain leadership in quality, just like the old days...Hope those days are not gone forever...

This is a great microwave mounted above my stove. It holds large items and heats evenly. My favorite feature is the "Add 30 Seconds" button! It also has a great light underneath.

Our GE microwave model JVM1730DM1WW is built in above our GE range.. It has an exhaust fan and a stove top light. This microwave is one of the easiest to use. The controls are not confusing and it has a very useful display. We like the fact that the stove top light has a bright and dim setting. when the light is on it will actually keep food warm in the microwave while the rest of the meal is being prepared.

My old under cabinet microwave quit and I needed a replacement and the GE I purchase from Sears was a great value and exactly what I wanted. I have had approximately 2 months and the only problem I have had is the plastic has cracked on the area above the control panel. It was easy to install as it fit in exacly like my previous model.

The GE spacemaker over the oven microwave was to replace an existing microwave. It could not have been easier to install. I had to drill two hole to mount below the cabinet and mount the new rear braket.

LauraInChgo says "A workhorse with simple user controls, keeps the counter clear." about GE Microwave - Spacemaker JVM1540

This microwave is great! I defrost food, re-heat, make popcorn, make rice and cook entire meals using this appliance. I would definitely buy a GE microwave again.

The user interface is simple, intuitive and easy to use. The pre-programmed functions are helpful and give good results. I especially love the 1-5 minute one-touch buttons that cook at full power for 1-5 minutes. That covers 75% of the cooking I want to do. It's easy to set the clock and I use the kitchen timer for other cooking tasks.

Since the microwave is installed over the stove, kids tend to pull the door down as they open it. Over time the plastic door handle cracked (twice, I think). This might be the case for any make/model, though. GE's replacement part website is awesome - type in the appliance and model. It shows an exploded diagram and you click on the part you need and they send it out with instructions.

The exhaust screens get greasy over time. Cleaning in soapy water helps, but they need...

TammyCloud says "GE's SpacemakerJVM1540 Microwave does everything I need it to do" about GE Microwave - Spacemaker JVM1540

TammyCloud — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 01:13:39 GMT

I just replaced my previous microwave with GE's JVM1540 Spacemaker. My previous microwave had many more options (all of which tore up and were unfuctionable within no time at all). I love the fact that its incabinet spacemaker design takes up little room and leaves my counter space open for cooking and serving guest (buffet style). Its installation was so easy that my son and I installed it ourselves. So far I am pleased with my purchase and would recommend it to others....
