    GE Profile PEM31SFSS Countertop Microwave

    • The first ones either stopped running or lost their control panel, the last one we kept way too long as we ignored paint flaked off throughout it, falling on food and likely unsafe
    • For details on the class action suit, which explains the problem, see Seeger Weiss, the law firm investigating the class action: "GE Microwave Units' Interior Paint Peeling Poses Health Concerns" at [...
    • I (along with many other irate owners) have found that after about 2 years, the white interior paint on the ceiling of these GE microwaves starts peeling off....and falling into the family food
    • Pretty disappointed, never figured that paint would be the issue on a microwave.
    • Their website claims the paint is non-toxic, and therefore "ingestion of small amounts of the peeling coating [i.e. paint] does not create a health risk
    • Spent the extra $200 for the space save model and ignored bad reviews regarding paint peeling, etc
    • The first one lasted about two years--the interior paint flaked off and the interior rusted.
    • This paint then flakes off and into food or onto food covers!!!
    • This is to replace an older under cabinet GE microwave that had interior failing paint
    • Works as it should, if hang under cabinet just buy 4 screws from hardware store.
    • Works as it ought to.
    • n’t clean well for some reason
