GE Profile Countertop Microwave Oven

PEB9159SJSS 22″ Microwave Oven with 1.5 cu. ft. Capacity in Stainless Steel

PROS: Stainless steel interior, simple to use, low 13 in. profile that fits under upper cabinets. Love the Convection Roast feature that alternates microwave and convection heating to cook and crisp quickly and efficiently. It also multi-tasks by allowing the timer to run e.g, steeping tea for 3 min., while microwaving oatmeal for 1 min. 30 sec.
CONS: Cafe model with Auto Roast and Auto Bake features are better than that. (Source Amazon)

Works well than other known brands. Easy to use and easy to clean up with a microfiber towel. The display had a plastic coating to peel off. One of the top rated Microwave based on the price, dimensions, power, and quality brand name. It works like a dream, is reasonably large, and does not make much noise at all. It is everything you could want in a cheap microwave.(Source Amazon)
