Overview
GE's 0.7 cu ft, 700-watt compact countertop microwave with 6 auto cooking settings and two-step child lock, built for tight kitchens, dorms and apartments where a full-size microwave won't fit.
More than one buyer also reports the back panel or a top corner running warm even with proper clearance.
- 0.7 cu ft interior, 700 watts
- 6 auto cooking settings
- Two-step child lock
- 39-inch power cord
Who it's for
Fits someone with a genuinely small kitchen who needs specific depth dimensions and basic reheating power. Not the pick for anyone wanting fuss-free electronics, given the repeated 'FOOD' error reports, or for heavier daily cooking that needs more than 700 watts.
Pros and cons
- Fits tight cabinet depths under about 13 inches
- Six auto cook presets for common foods
- Mandatory child lock, deactivatable if not needed
- Multiple reports of a 'FOOD' error requiring a reset
- 700 watts is lower power than full-size microwaves
- Some units run warm on the back panel
