The kitchen is one of the most crowded places in the home since there are usually a lot of appliances and items being placed in cabinets, counters, and the like. Heck, some would even place appliances on top of other appliances like stoves and ovens. Microwaves are especially space-consuming since they are normally large in size and would have to take up a major part of the kitchen countertop so that it’ll be easier to take out the food being heated up. GE or General Electric, a world renowned company that produces electrical appliances and other household items, was able to address this issue in the kitchen with a product known as the Spacemaker Microwave. This microwave, apart from functioning like the typical microwave, helps people in saving a lot of counter space since it is compact in size and can be placed on top of other surfaces.
To give a brief overview of the specifications, the Spacemaker Microwave’s dimensions are 11 3/16 X 12 9/32 X 23 25/32 in inches (HDW), powered at 800 watts, and can heat and cook up food and beverages instantly in 1-6 minutes. It also has other interesting features such as automated defrosting, add 30 seconds, and easy-to-use button controls. The microwave is also very affordable as some new homeowners would find a Spacemaker Microwave already placed and set up on their kitchen countertop. But above all, the best feature that makes this product so attractive is its compact size and the fact that it’s easy to place the microwave in different areas of the kitchen to save space.
The only problem with GE’s Spacemaker Microwave Oven is that it’s prone to breaking down and malfunctioning after being used for just a short period of time. There have been a series of customer complaints about the paint coming off during cleaning and the microwave shutting down all of the sudden while heating up food and beverages. If this occurs, you might have to contact customer service for assistance so that they will be able to replace the microwave or send over a technician to fix the product. Sadly, this is going to be a big stain on GE’s reputation as an appliance manufacturer and would have to do something about it if they want to attract more customers to buy their products.
The best thing to do if you do want to try the Spacemaker Microwave is to check first if the product comes with a 1 year warranty and if it is functioning before making your purchase. You should also save the hotline number of the company’s customer service and support in case the microwave malfunctions and you don’t know how to fix it.
