GE PVM9005SJSS Microwave Oven

GE Model we replaced cost lest and had more bells and whistles.Only 1 light underneath for stovetop. No light auto mode as nightlight inside dark color is gorgeous but interior is dim lighting due to dark interior walls. Cool no handle but temperamental on catching if not pushed from center no soften option. Love to go back. But very sharp looking

I love everything about this microwave. I love the fact there is no handle to be broken off but it does take a little getting use to having a longer door. I'm fairly short and sometimes I have nearly missed my noggin. If that's the only issue I'm good to go as I know I will get more use to the swing of the door. everything Id want in a microwave this does well.

The media could not be loaded. I would never order items like this microwave online again! Be warned that if you discover a defect immediately after installation, the seller may not exchange or fix the item, even if you have photos showing damage and are willing to submit to a local inspection! The only thing this microwave did for us was get us burned....The bottom of the unit does not appear to have any scratches in the paint, which would have been an indication if something was banged or dented. At first glance, we had no indication that the "rolling" in the metal was a defect. It was only after we completed installation that we found the fan filter on the right would not fit properly, as the other side did. Insertion of that piece is done, according to instructions, AFTER the unit is hanging!! That defect also brought to our attention a "sunken in corner and side piece". Further discovery found that the fan filter will actually shoot out quickly when the raised/rolled metal area is lightly touched, so if ever trying to wipe steam buildup on the underside, lookout while preparing food or the filter will end up in the pot! The imperfection also would make a nightmare of a cleaning job, since the gap would permit steam and cooking grease to get inside the bottom part of the unit!...After spending 4-days sending pictures over and over again to the seller, they did offer a little monetary compensation, which we declined, as is not worth having a brand new microwave that is defective and should be replaced. We haven't even used it yet, and will trash it, before we'd keep something in this condition. Even our oldest appliances are in better condition than this brand new.How disappointing this experience has been! Shame on the seller for promoting how they stand by their sales, and have easy return policies...that is definitely NOT TRUE!

I love the new look with the key pad on the bottom. It was not real easy to install but my adult son did it for me. It has a lot of functions on the key pad, so I am still getting used to where to point. There are a few issues: the defrost seems a little too hot. I recommend estimating poundage low to see how yours works. You have to push the buttons pretty hard to get them to work. The function key pad is not back-lit like it shows in one picture. I can't find one that is so I was disappointed when this was not. Other than those inconveniences I'm happy with this one after returning the Black and Decker.

My old Microwave. (same model) and 4 years old stopped working. I loved everything about it so I ordered a new one. I did this as it is not too complicated to use, cooks well, and cleans well! I am happy I did so. Unfortunately, the life span of so many electrics have gotten so much shorter, but I love the G.E. Profile Line so took that route again.

WILL BUY AGAIN

The best things about this microwave are that it puts out a lot of energy so things heat quickly, and the appearance of the full-width door is rather impressive. After that, I'm not impressed.The exhaust fan works pretty well, but nothing like a real range hood, even on the highest setting. Still, it works better than most and is relatively quiet for an exhaust fan. The over-stove light works very well in the high setting and has a low setting that might be a good night light. There is an "Add 30 Seconds" button but no +10/-10s buttons for quick addition/subtraction of time. There are 5 buttons that will start up 1 through 5 minute quick start cycles. Nice, but I rarely cook anything at 100% for more than 1 minute. Because of that, you cannot put in a time and just push start. Each time you must push the time button, enter the time (and optionally the power level), then push start. Minor, but I like simple.I think the oven is OK, but controls and software are not convenient and sometimes annoying. One annoyance is that it thinks it is smarter than the human operator. If you put something in the oven temporarily (to heat up later), when you come back, set the time, and push start it will give you a message that you need to put food in before it will start up. Really?!?! So you must dutifully obey the machine by opening and closing the door then start over. It also won't remember a setting if you put it in and walk away without starting it; you come back to a blank screen. With my old, less expensive microwave, I could set up a vegetable for cooking, put it in the microwave, set the timer and cycle percentage (power level), then ask someone to start it for me while I'm standing outside at the grill cooking the steaks.
