General Electric JES1142SJ Stainless Steel Countertop Microwave

Better than the competition

Strengths: stylish, easy to use, well built

Weakness: LED is a little hard to read

This model stands out when you go to the store and other microwaves in this price range are plastic and smaller and look cheap. It\\\\\\\'s a reliable brand and soundly beats one of its own models that for $10 less is plastic and nasty. I got mine from Best Buy in town for $95 with tax. Who needs to pay shipping

Review for GE JES1142SJ Countertop Microwave

Strengths: powerful, sleek design, good price.

Weakness: None yet.

We bought this microwave after our old one (from Sharp) stopped working. We usually heat small bowls and regular size dishes, so in terms of size it’s pretty compact. Considering the price, quality and look/design this one seemed to the best for us. We read reviews from other people about the microwave and they were mostly positive, so we decided to get it for ourselves. Now that we have it, I...

GE Countertop Microwave

Strengths: stylish design, sleek looks.

Weakness: hard to read buttons

Overall this microwave is pretty good. I bought this microwave about two months ago when it was on sale. Its 1.1 cu. ft. so its reasonably spacious. It has good amount of auto heat timer buttons. I like the child lock out button since I use it to prevent my kids from accidentally starting the oven. The only drawback i can think of is that the writing on top of the buttons can be hard to read...

great Microwave

Strengths: powerful

Weakness: none

I ordered the microwave oven for moving new home.although I just use few of function but it work so well as I expected. just size is a little big for me

Great microwave at a great price

Strengths: Good size Nice looking Easy to use Spacious internal room

Weakness: Have not fund yet

My four-year old Sunbeam microwave finally broken down. I researched a lot and I bought it from worstbuy. I would recommend this product because it has a very spacious internal space (the old one did not fit several glass plates) although it does not take much space over my counter. Another thing I liked is the fact that it is extremely easy to program, set up and clean. Since it has 1100 Watts...

GE JES1142SJ Countertop Microwave

Strengths: Powerful 1100 watts for fast heating. Enough room inside for big frozen dinners and big dinner plates. Can not beat Stainless at way less than $100. Controls are easy to use plus the one touch button.

Weakness: Stainless shows finger prints, but that is stainless. Its a little taller and wider than other 1.1 cu ft microwaves.

Consumer reports had GE brands as the more reliable models. The other discounted brands I considered had more reliability problems. Powerful 1100 watts for fast heating. Enough room inside for frozen dinners and big dinner plates. Can not beat Stainless at less than $100. Controls are easy to use plus the one touch button is very convenient. There is a newer model coming out with Sensor cook,...

Don't let the small size fool you, this is a...

Strengths: Sleek design, easy to use controls, and tons of power packed in a small package

Weakness: Not a lot of advanced features and pre-sets, but who needs them

I recently had to replace my 8 year old oven as it took 3+ minutes to warm a cup of coffee. I discovered that I didn't have a ton of options, due to the relatively small size of my existing microwave shelf. Initially I was concerned that I wasn't going to be able to find anything with the enough wattage to get the job done. GE to the rescue. This compact microwave has tons of power and a sleek...

Just what we wanted

Strengths: Nice steel look, powerful

Weakness: none

This is exactly what we were looking for. I especially like the locking mechanism, so my 2 and 5 year-olds don't mess with it. I would definitely recomend this to families with small children

GE JES1142SJ Stainless Steel Microwave Oven

Strengths: Beautiful stainless steel. Simple one touch control.

Weakness: Can leave fingerprints on the stainless steel.

This microwave is very easy to use. I especially like the one touch buttons. I can just press start button once and it automatically heats 30 seconds. Press start button twice and it will microwave 1 minute. The inside is very spacious. The only problem I see is that it is very easy to leave fingerprints on the microwave.

GE JES1142SJ 1.1 Cu. Ft Countertop Microwave Oven

Strengths: Beautiful Design, Outstanding Features, and is very Powerful

Weakness: None

Very impressed with this countertop microwave oven. I have found that it heats items much faster than my other microwave that had more watts. This oven even being only 1.1 cu. ft. has plenty of room to cook or reheat any item. I just love all the one-touch items available in this oven. Thank you GE for designing this microwave, beautiful design, plenty of power and a great addition to my kitchen.
