GE 0.7 cu. ft. Microwave - JES 0736 SMSS
I bought this GE 0.7 cu ft microwave because I needed a small one to fit the specifications for my college dorm. This was actually the smallest one I could find, although I admit the most appliance-centric store I shopped at was Home Depot, which was where I bought it.
It's not ugly, but it feels pretty cheap - the door is light and feels a little rickety, and the microwave itself lacks some function. For example, it has a turntable, which is nice, but some things I put in the microwave are too long to turn properly, and I can't turn the turntable off, so I get my dishes crashed up against the walls of the microwave.
It has done a pretty good job of cooking whatever I put in there, and even has some preset cooking time buttons (although the only one I use is the "add 30 seconds" function), so it's not way underpowered. I actually have noticed very little difference (other than size) from my parents' large, fancy microwave.
So, if you don't mind having to give up some cooking space, it's a pretty nice little microwave, and really quite cheap. I'd give it a 7 out of 10, points only deducted for lack of a few features and super-small size.
