Review: GE JES1142SJ Stainless Steel 1100 Watts Microwave Oven


A great basic need is met in my kitchen -

This microwave has been the perfect solution for our needs! We remodeled and included a built in microwave shelf...

Pros: Cooks things fast and hot, stylish appearance

Cons: Cooking power fades with any splatter inside

The Bottom Line: With its easy-to-use controls and great heating ability, this is a durable microwave for daily use.

Review: I'll admit, I usually stick to entertainment reviews because there's so much I can say about such things. After all, with a movie, you have the writing, direction, acting, plot, character development and special effects all to take into account...

Pros: Nice looking, affordable, good basic controls

Cons: Extremely loud humming sound, and large vibration. I returned it because of the noise.

The Bottom Line:

Looks great, and probably works well, but sounds extremely loud and annoying. Very disappointed. I returned it.

Review: My 20 year old Sharp Carousel II microwave oven died recently. I thought it would be easy to find a replacement, but no -- seems like every microwave oven made today is a piece of junk that only last a few years.

I hadn't done any research...

Pros: Stylish, simple layout, plenty of features, lots of power

Cons: A little bit more vibration than I would like

The Bottom Line: Good choice, powerful and attractive Microwave oven

Review: My wife and I finally replaced our slowing dying seven year old microwave and after alot of research decided on the JES1142SJ ge microwave. I really didn't think I would notice much of a difference between our old microwave and our new one, but wow...

Pros: Looks nice, good price

Cons: Sensors depend on exact sizes of product -- NOT CONVENIENT.

The Bottom Line: Stay away from this poorly designed product

Review: I bought this as a replacement for an existing microwave whose turntable had broken. The cost to replace the turntable was about half the cost of a decent new microwave, so I figured I'd go for it.

The GE JES1142SJ is easily the worst...

Pros: Decent Microwave for the price.

Cons: Does not appear to last over 1 year.

The Bottom Line: Great product for the price and nice looking, however durability of the product is not that great.

Review: This is the second GE Stainless Microwave I have owned in less than a year. They did replace the first one with no problem. So far, I have had no problems with the replacement. It is a neat microwave because of the looks and the features. Unlike the...

Pros: Light touch keypad.

Cons: Uneven cooking, especially with meats.

Review: Bought this after my full size Panasonic bit the dust. Although it is mid-size and has few features of higher priced microwaves it works well for small meals. I was looking for a keypad requiring a very light touch and this GE is perfect. The...

Pros: Chrome, small (more counter space), disposable (ha).

Cons: Died one month out of warrantee, tiny, triple beep that can't be turned off.

The Bottom Line: If you like a loud triple beep that can't be turned off, and if you like products that die one month out of warrantee, you will love this GE Microwave.

Review: This was an attractive purchase at Lowes, $89.98. It is chrome finished but really small inside. I figured, great, more counter space and if it only lasts a couple years that's $45 per year. Well they have this timed to perfection. It stopped...

Pros: Powerful, stainless modern look, Working great after 3 years.

Cons: Somewhat noisy.

Review: Despite some negative reviews, I have not had a problem with this microwave. It is powerful at 1100 watts. Yes the stainless exterior has to be wiped often of dust and fingerprints, but that's the price we pay for stainless. The control panel/clock...

Pros: Its E-Z to look at.

Cons: Broke in 9 months 12 days!!

Review: Didnt last a year! Hit the key pad and the timer counts down but thats it! GE cant find the parts for an 04 only the 03....So send me a new one! nope cant do that. Well im off to buy a new one and guess what kind I wont buy!!! Gee NO GE. Such Junk...
