General Electric JES2251SJ Stainless Steel

Pros: Its all good.

Cons: Counter space required(if that is a con)....and pricey vs most others.

Review: We have had this model now for about 4 months. There are no faults that I can see except that it does take up a lot of counter space. It also has a LOT of interior room. It heats evenly and quickly ...

Pros: Inverter Technology, Cooking Sensors, Large Capacity

Cons: NONE

Review: I'm not sure why so many people have complained about this model. It's actually very durable, large, and cooks anything you throw at it! Maybe some of the complainers didn't take the time to read the user manual? For the size, wattage, and inverter ...

Pros: quiet, cooks quickly, all stainless design, large capacity

Cons: two button "add a minute" cooking, long-term reliability concerns

The Bottom Line: works well, looks good, roomy inside. arrived defective--will it be reliable over time...?

Review: i bought this microwave on ebay after reading it was top rated by consumer reports. the unit arrived and didn't work properly (smelled like burning plastic and shut itself off after 20 seconds), but a call to GE had a service tech out to the house in a ...

Pros: Looks, ease of use (very intuitive), Inverter Defrost feature, size of cavity, price

Cons: Burns popcorn.

Review: This microwave excels at everything except making popcorn. For some reason I've never been able to turn out a decent bag of popcorn. No matter how long I let it cook, it burns the popcorn in the bag from the inside out. It's outstanding at defrosting ...

Pros: Great controls & ease of use. At 2.2CI is one of the largest out there

Cons: Poor LATCHING SYSTEM and MICROSWITCH setup.

Review: We had a Panasonic Microwave that would last 11months and die. The problem appeared to be a poorly designed latch system. We got the GE to avoid the problem. imagine our surprise when the unit arrived and it appeared to have the same latching system. ...

Pros: big, looks nice (until it gets fingerprints all over)

Cons: sensor is useless; heating is not even; stainless steel will look dirty soon

The Bottom Line: Don't get it. Too expensive and it just doesn't live up to the hype.

Review: NOTE: I bought and tested the General Electric JES2251SJ in April 2005. ------- I decided to take a shot of healthy tomato juice today. Why tomato juice in particular? Because of its perfect viscosity for my purpose: testing the cooking ...

Pros: Beautiful design, generous interior

Cons: Sensor and fan did not seem to work, food not done properly.

The Bottom Line:

Wish I'd believed the bad reviews on this model, it truely doesn't work well at all. I cannot recommend it, despite our previous GE Microwaves being great.

Review: The first thing I tried was heating water for a cup of tea, which seemed a nice and easy way to begin, using the Lunch/Soup setting. We were amazed at the utter silence of the unit. More about that later. After too short a period of time, the unit shut ...

Pros: roomy inside. easy to clean.

Cons: stopped working after 17 months.

Review: I have the GE JES2251SJ02 in stainless steel. I have to agree with several of the other posters. My microwave only lasted for 17 months (Feb 7, 2007 to June 22, 2008). Now it doesn't work. No inside light, no display, no response to the keypad. ...

Pros: simple to use when it works

Cons: had two major repairs during the first nine months. Long holds on customer care line.

Review: Ditto on all the reviews here. I purchased this microwave nine months ago. It stopped working after one month requiring major repair. After repair, it worked another seven months and failed again. Another repair. Both repairs were covered by ...

Pros: Looks nice.

Cons: Cheap. Broke within a year. The door is flimsy. No one button cook.

Review: When I purchased this microwave in January 2007 I was looking for an affordable stainless steel microwave. When the microwave first arrived I noticed how "cheap" it felt. The door is flimsy and the whole unit just felt like it was poor quality. In August ...
