Overview
The GE JES1460DSWW is a 1.4 cubic foot countertop microwave with sensor cooking, ten power levels, weight and time defrost, and a turntable, aimed at replacing a larger, older countertop unit.
- 1.4 cubic foot capacity with a turntable
- Sensor cook buttons plus 10 power levels
- Weight and time defrost modes
- Control lockout for accidental-use prevention
Who it's for
Suited to anyone replacing an older, larger countertop microwave who wants similar capacity and a familiar brand. Worth a second look if door latch failures over a few years of use would be a dealbreaker.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Owners who replaced an older, larger GE microwave with this one often say it matches or beats the capacity and power of their previous unit, and several call it quiet in operation. The recurring complaint is the door latch, with one owner citing three replacements in six years for the same failure, and a separate report of a unit that would not heat at all straight out of the box.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- 1.4 cubic foot capacity, larger than many countertop microwaves
- Sensor cooking and both weight and time defrost modes
- Quiet operation reported by owners
- Control lockout to prevent accidental use
- Door latch failures reported by multiple long-term owners
- One report of a unit not heating at all out of the box
- Finishes with several beeps at the end of a cycle
Performance notes
Sensor cook buttons and ten power levels handle day-to-day reheating, while the weight and time defrost modes calculate defrost timing automatically or let you set it manually. Owners describe the unit as quiet and more powerful than the 1100 watt models it commonly replaces, with a turntable that rotates food through the cycle.
