GE GCST09N1WSS Microwave Oven, 900-watt 7 Auto Cooking Settings, Child-Lock Technology, Kitchen Essentials for The Countertop, Dorm Room or Apartment, 0.9 Cu. Ft, Stainless Steel

I had the earlier version of this GE Microwave, yes earlier, how about 22 years? No kidding it lasted that long and when the opening button broke I thought I will never have one this good again. Then I found this one, almost identical but with a few modern style improvements but basically the same GE oven. It sits perfectly on my kitchen counter and doesn’t take up much room at all. It heats stuff fast! It’s a well made Microwave with clean lines that make it fit right into my somewhat small kitchen and I love it! The last one outlasted my kids growing up and I am sure I’ll get another 22 years on this new one probably longer! If you’re looking for a smaller well made oven for yourself this is the one! Don’t hesitate! I’m thrilled I found it!

Love the smaller size and has all the great features you will need

I like the look of this one & mainly picked it because it was had good ratings & was the right size in & out & was white. I HATE black appliances and when given a choice will opt for white. So I cook pasta in the FastaPasta (https://www.amazon.com/Microwave-Pasta-Cooker-Original-Sticking/dp/B000YT2XOI?th=) and it is a tight fit for a small microwave (9cu) so the inside has to be about 12" on all sides or it will get stuck on the walls & won't spin. This micro is 12x12x8 tall at the door opening BUT the walls are indented so it is a bit bigger inside. I have a cabinet I had built for the old microwave so it had to be the same size as the old one to fit in the cabinet. It does. The exterior size is 19 wide & 11-1/2 tall (incl feet) & 13-3/4 deep (incl plug clearance but not the 2x3) The plug is a flat plug (YAY!!!) BUT the old one had a guard tab on the back to keep you from pushing the plug back, mashing it against the wall & stressing it where it comes out of the microwave. I just popped a 8" piece of 2x3 behind it so that won't happen. It seems to work well but it is a bit noisier than my old one & the open door button feels kinda cheap & the door pops open vs my old one that was a bit smoother & not as aggressive. The plate is about 3/4" smaller than my old one & that is no big deal for me. i will update if it all goes south....

Direction were followed for delivery.

Ok

Its a good size, looks beautiful. It has very easy instructions and there is even a little cheat sheet inside the door if you need to figure out times for reheating meals and stuff.Its nice to finally use recommended times on packaging to get a perfectly microwaved dish as opposed to having to add extra time like on my old microwave.

Oddly this unit has no or inadequate venting. When you try to use it for larger cooks like bacon or jam, it steams up heavily. It won’t last long due to this shortcoming.

put a different set of feet on bottom made it a tad higher- fits perfect in our small camper

Overall good, panel has decent options. Starting to have some issues with the door opening, see how that plaays out.
