Love it
Date: 2008-06-08 | Rating: 5
WE've had this oven/microwave for 4 months now and absolutely love it. We got it so that we could have a second oven without doing a major renovation. So far it's worked well as a microwave and great as an oven. I'll assess them seperatly. --AS a microwave, it's a little slower cooking than others we have had, but heats evenly, has a turntable, and rack. We really love the dial control...kind of like an ipod, simple and efficient. --As an 2nd oven it is perfect for us and we actually use it frequently as the primary oven because 1) It heats up faster and cooks faster 2) It is more energy efficient with a smaller space to heat adn 3) it vents outside so it doesn't heat up the house in the summer at all. As for the price, it is expensive, but was a much cheaper way to get a second oven for us and we are very happy with it.

Great Second Oven

We bought this w/ other GE Profile products (Dishwasher & Refrigerator) from PC Richards and I'm very glad we did. We just did a full renovation and my contrator said this installed very easily and the venting was a breeze; straight up and then over 8 Ft. It's constantly in use w/ two kids around. The dial knob makes it very easy to pick a cook time and temperature. Just turn and press. Convection bake works great for the hamburgers and meatloafs we usually have and it beats heating up the kitchen w/ the stove. The micro-express button works in 30 second increments and if you need more time you just keep pressing it or spin the dial. The popcorn preset button is a little short to pop them all but definitely not a deal breaker. I would certainly recommend this product.

Probably Not Worth The Money

I have owned two of these. The first one, worked fine. The microwave was good and I really loved the convection oven for small item cooking. The inside light did burn out and I think you have to take it to a repair shop to get it replaced, I'm not sure, I never got it fixed because I could never locate it. I moved and bought another one and within 2 months the main board went completely bad. It is a $200 repair and as I read reviews on the internet, this is not that uncommon. For the price, I would look for a different brand with better reviews and price.

We bought this convection microvave aproximately 18 months ago,electrical is poor on it , within 6months of purchase replaced lite above stove,after 18 months the interior light went out,$85.00 for bulb and over $200.00 service call. The oven has to be removed from the wall according to teir web site.I'd say that's a bit expensive minimum $285.00 to but a light bulb in. The Microwave cost us $600.00.We bought this one because we have always bought GE Profile Kitchen appliances.This definitely determine future appliance purchases.Model # JVM1790 Convection /Microwave.

Terrible design, not able to change the lightbulb inside

Overall, the microwave works fine like any micro should, no real complaints there. However, we have had this micro for a little over a year. The inside light burned out as well as the task light that lights up the stovetop below. I searched for the replacement lightbulbs locally at home depot, and several other stores, no luck. I searched online, found the correct lightbulbs. Ordered 4 lights, 2 spare for when they burn out again. I went to install them. The bottom task light was a breeze, done in a few minutes. I opened the inside of the micro and could not find anywhere to access the light, nor could I see where it was even at? Now reading the reviews here, that you need to remove the entire micro from the wall, have a technician install a lightbulb? to the tune of $200? That is insane! What an incredibly terrible design!! Geez, the inside light is not that big of a deal, I for sure am not going through the work of taking it down and paying a technician to install a freaking lightbulb. What was GE thinking when they came up with this LAME design? I have to give this 1 star.

Don't waste your money & time
Date: 2008-04-18 | Rating: 1
We purchased a GE Profile Microwave oven on 3/22/2008 from a local store and the microwave oven died within one week of the installation. We were not allowed to return the microwave to the store due to GE's Warranty Policy which mandates that a GE repair technician must determine if the microwave is repairable. If it is repairable, then they will force you to fix it. So after waiting for 1 week for a GE service technician to show up at our home, he determined that the "magnetron," the heart of the microwave, was dead and that he ordered another one and we need to wait for it to arrive and then reschedule a visit for him to repair it. We called GE to get their authority to allow us to return the microwave back to the store to either get our money back or return it for a new unit and they refused as per their policy. They obviously do not care about the consumer who obviously bought a lemon that died within 1 week's time. They make no exceptions. And we will make no exception in the future. We will NEVER buy any GE product again. This is the third GE product that we have purchased that has failed within a year's time. They may talk about quality but they lack integrity and clearly show that they do not care about the consumer. They respect only their own policies and processes. And so we purchased a new GE microwave less than 1 month ago, to replace an Amana that lasted over 5 years, and we are still left with no microwave and at least 2 more weeks and pray that it doesn't fail again. And if you take the time to Google: GE "microwave oven" customer complaint...you will be flooded with bad reviews!

Great countertop microwave
Date: 2008-05-18 | Rating: 5
Pros: Large Fast and Even Heating Great Defrost Not too loud Cons: Sensor reheat is only good for soups and other substance that it is okay to heat to boiling (don't trust it with Pizza, or other foods like that). Bottom Line: This is an excellent large microwave for countertop use. The inverter defrost works almost perfectly every time, never cooking my food more than it should, but the reheat is a gimmick. This is a large countertop microwave, at about 2.2 cubic foot. Coming from an over-the-range microwave this is a huge improvement in size. The microwave heats uniformly and fast (it is 1200 watts). The sensor reheat should only be used on foods it is safe to boil, otherwise it overcooks about everything else. It also works best when you lightly cover the food, as sometimes uncovered food triggers it to turn off too early. Lightly covered is critical, as the sensor works off water vapor temperature being released from the product. If the water vapor cant leave the container it could become superheated. Sensor cook should also only be used under supervision (you should be in the same room). I have had the microwave for about 6 months now with no issue. It is no louder than other microwaves I have used, and the controls are intuitive and easy to use. You do not have to press a cook button or anything to start your timed cooking. My favorite feature is the inverter defrost. Remember you enter the weight in pounds, so for an 8 oz pack of bacon you would enter "5" and "start" for 1/2 of a pound. If you had a 1.5 pound package of meat, you would enter "15" and "start" for 1.5 pounds. The display shows the weight correctly. Not much else to say about the product, it is a microwave after all. Update: To improve "sensor reheat" performance, use a lid over the food with a vent hole. I use a paper plate with a small hole (finger tip size) punched in it. This will make sure the reheat stays running long enough, but still gets some water vapor to judge the food temperature by so it doesn't over cook.

Larger and More Powerful But Short Service Life
Date: 2008-05-23 | Rating: 4
E. J. Tastad's review of this product is accurate and appropriate, but I would like to add some additional information. I bought this GE Profile microwave oven in March of 2006 on the recommendation of Consumer Reports. In September 2009 I am sorry to report that I had to throw it out because it wasn't worth repairing. Consumer Reports gave this GE model their top rating for large microwave ovens. It replaced an old Amana RadarRange that I had used for about 25 years before it burst into flames. The Amana had also received Consumer Reports top rating back then. If I recall, my Amana sold for about twice as much money (in 1981 dollars) as this GE costs in 2006 dollars. Since this microwave oven is more powerful, faster and consumes more electricity than small models, you may need to have a dedicated 20 ampere outlet available for its use. Compared with my old Amana, the GE has a much more uniform distribution of heat when cooking or reheating, probably because the food is rotated on a turntable. As E. J. Tastad found, the defrost cycle is easy to use, gives good distribution of heat and the front panel controls are fairly intuitive. The stainless steel cabinet is attractive and easy to clean. Unlike my old Amana, this oven cannot multi-task. For example, if you're running the built-in clock timer, you cannot cook or reheat something on a different schedule using different functions. You must stop the clock timer to begin a cook cycle and vice versa. You also cannot program several sequences of automatic operations as my old Amana could accommodate, nor can you program it to start at a later time. This microwave oven was not as reliable and did not last nearly as long as my old Amana did. The magnetron tube in my GE Profile microwave oven failed after two years of use. It's replacement was covered by the five-year GE warranty on the tube, but the warranty didn't cover the $85 in labor charges, which would have been even more if I had received the service on-site instead of taking the appliance to the appliance repair depot. After 3 1/2 years of use, (September 2009) the main circuit board self-destructed. It cost me $44 at the nearest GE repair facility to learn that it would cost me more than another $200 to replace the microwave oven's circuit board. Since other brands of similar-sized and power microwave ovens cost less than the repairs, I have discarded this microwave oven after 3 1/2 years and after spending $129 in diagnostic and repair charges in addition to the purchase price. Given this experience, I now be hard-pressed to recommend this appliance considering its cost-of-ownership and short life. This appliance should have lasted much longer. It did not get heavy use and was never misused or abused.

Good microwave but GE must think it's a disposable.

We bought this microwave (JES2251SJ02) in Jan. of '07. It works pretty well. I like the "Inverter" defrost capabilities. Recently (Dec. '09) the oven bulb (part# WB36X10302) burnt out. Not a critical problem but a definite pain in the a**. So far my choices in fixing it are: 1) Open it up and poke around trying to fix it myself. Carefully! There's reported to be high voltage capacitors in there that can permanently ruin your day and all your days to come. There is apparently no manual available that will tell you how do do this or what to watch out for. 2) pay for a GE technician to come to the house ($69) and replace the bulb ($12-$20 I think, the GE appointment scheduler doesn't know but I found it online for $11.75) PLUS LABOR. How much do GE techs charge per hour? GE maint. doesn't know or won't say. How long will it take to complete the job? GE maint. doesn't know or won't say. Let's estimate that the labor involved takes half an hour to pull the cover off and dismantle the thing enough to get to the bulb and replace it. If the tech charges only $50/hr (probably considerably more) that's a total of $106 (house call + parts + labor). I paid $233 for the thing new. I need to pay almost half the purchase price to fix a burned out bulb 2 yrs later? Time to think about not buying anymore GE appliances.

Poor Product; Worse Customer "Service"
Date: 2008-07-21 | Rating: 2
I should have listened to my wife. I'm about to arrange to take my third Monday afternoon in a row off from work so I can be here for GE's service technician. He's repairing my microwave, which is less than 6 weeks old. Here's what happened. Week 1, I call the service center, describe the problem I'm having (power cuts off after a few seconds) and the rep says "it's probably an inverter board," and schedules a repair call. Week 2, The technician arrives, diagnoses the problem and says it's an inverter board. He orders the part. Week 3,The part has arrived, the repair guy comes to install it, but it's the wrong part. He has to order the right part, I have to take a third day off from work to be available, and we have to go another week without a microwave. Wouldn't the RIGHT thing for GE to have done is replace the microwave? Just ship us a new one, and have us ship the old one back? Or have the repair guy make the swap? That would be showing GE cares about their customer's time, they're concerned if they waste time because of their error, and keeping customers satisfied is its top priority. Instead, GE parrots back the warranty (we only have to repair the appliance, not replace it) and disregards what this experience has meant to its customer and his perception of their company.

Poor reliability
Date: 2008-05-27 | Rating: 1
I am very disappointed at the poor reliability of this unit. Ours is less than a year old and has failed--now, when attempting to cook, the unit shuts off before the end of the programmed time. Even though the light comes on and the turntable turns, the unit does not heat food. Like others, I purchased this unit based on the recommendation in Consumer Reports; this recommendation didn't pan out. I tried to schedule warranty service and GE is making us wait a week to schedule and their frustrating telephone system does not provide information on where I can take it for service for faster turnaround (and didn't put me in touch with a live representative). When the microwave oven worked, it worked fine. We replaced a Sharp unit with this one; though this unit has the advantage of a larger capacity, its controls are less intuitive. Based on poor reliability and poor service, we're certainly not going to buy another GE microwave. We've had good success with GE refrigerators in the past; this is very disappointing. A quick search on the web now reveals that GE microwave ovens are not reliable--many others appear to have similar problems with the magnetrons. Perhaps this is one reason why GE is looking to sell its appliance business...
