After many years of service, my GE SpaceMaker II microwave needed to be replaced. Unfortunately, the line has been discontinued by GE. They offer one model that's close to the dimensions, but the size would not work well for the space I have (built-in shelf). While there are lots of compact microwaves, the issue is the depth -- most are too deep to fit on a wall shelf.
This has the proper depth for sitting on a shelf without issue provided that you use a flat pig-tail adapter so that the plug doesn't jut out and prevent the microwave from sitting close to the wall. The width is less than the nearly 24 inches of the SpaceMaker, but I filled the empty shelf space with a storage cannister that I found that matches the microwave.
The microwave itself is a basic model that has few bells and whistles. I only use the microwave to reheat leftovers, and this does a fine job of that. Heating is even, and the 700W, while low powered compared with larger microwaves, gets the job done just fine. The controls are easy to use and are very similar to the SpaceMaker controls, which was a plus for me. The fit and finish are much better than other compact microwaves I looked at. It will fit a full-size dinner plate without issue.
It's not a perfect replacement for the SpaceMaker, but it's a workable one. It provides good functionality as a basic compact microwave, looks much nicer than you would expect for the price point, and is easy to use. A very good value for the price, especially if you can catch it on a price dip. Five stars.

GREAT Little Microwave.. except ONE Issue!!!
Nice and compact... taking up very little counter space. - Cooks and heats up food quickly & evenly.Would like it even more... if it had a 24-hour clock display (my personal preference.__CONS:1- It produces a LOT of condensation (water). - Most microwaves do... but this one is excessive.So much so that I have to go over the entire interior of the microwave three or four times (after squeezing the water out of the sponge).. to clear up ALL the accumulated water.2- The BIGGER issue IS... the lining of the microwave is beginning to "bubble" & separate from the base of the microwave. - And, this is a brand new microwave (3-months old).SEE... the attached photos.

I needed a microwave but wanted to go for a reputable brand rather than cheaper alternatives. This was such a disappointing experience. When I opened the Amazon box and saw the microwave box itself, I immediately noticed that it looked hastily taped together. There was a lot obvious damage to the box which, to me, suggests carless storage and handling in a warehouse. Given the amount of other options available and taking into account the price of this machine, I would expect at least some sort of effort to retain brand recognition or loyalty but this product fails to do either.Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2021
Optimistically, I decided to open the box further and remove the blue film covering the door. The presence of this film would have alleviated my concerns that this was a defective item being resold, however, the film was completely scrunched up (potentially, reapplied?) and if anything, only convinced me further. The instructions were inside the microwave and creased/folded randomly/scrunched-up.
The "nail in the coffin" was the scratches all over the numerical pad. They are permeant and glaringly obvious from every angle.
I am willing to admit that I could be slightly presumptuous automatically assuming this is used - perhaps it is not. Nonetheless, the condition of this microwave makes it look like it fell off the back of a truck.
There are plenty of people who are happy to buy a microwave with aesthetic faults but I do not believe any of those individuals would pay full price - myself, included. The inside looked clean and the power outlet is neatly folded. I assume anyone who possibly had this before me, saw the condition it was in and returned it immediately. I will be doing the same.
Store your products with more care. List 'used' stock correctly.
It is just a microwave. It is not the end of the world but please have some basic respect for the people buying your products.
