What we love about the GE Profile PEM31SFSS

Built-in capable design

Despite being a countertop microwave, the GE Countertop Microwave has a compact and sleek appearance that easily fits any kitchen space. Moreover, this product can be customized to fit into your cabinet with a sleek matching trim kit, which would save you a lot of space and make room for other kitchen appliances. You can find more ways to tailor the appearance of this product with the GE PEM31SFSS installation manual included in every GE product.

Luxurious and classy appearance

The GE Profile Countertop Microwave comes in gray and black - two colors that can add so much splendor to a kitchen space. Gray is a neutral color, so it doesn’t clash with other kitchen decor but neutralizes the nuance of the whole space, lending a sense of luxury to your cooking room. Moreover, the microwave’s finish is made of stainless steel that is resistant to scratch and abrasion.

Automatic defrost

An innovative feature of the GE Profile PEM31SFSS is its auto-defrost button. When you wish to defrost any food, whether it’s an icy piece of meat or a whole turkey, just enter the weight of food into the oven. After that, the oven will automatically adjust its power level and time for optimal defrosting performance. This feature shows how GE pays undivided attention to small details, and that’s why we very much appreciate this product in particular and the GE brand in general.

GE Profile™ 1.1 Cu. Ft. Countertop Microwave Oven PEM31SFSS Review by TopFreeReviews

Control lockout

Sometimes, you can accidentally bump into the START button and activate a microwave with nothing in it, which can negatively affect the microwave’s magnetron in the long term. And this is when the Control lockout button of this GE 1.1 cu ft Microwave comes into use. The Control Lock, as its name suggests, will lock the microwave when it’s not in use to prevent accidental activation, thus helping prolong the longevity and durability of the microwave.

Sensor cooking controls

The world has shifted towards automation, and electronic devices have followed the same path. A microwave now can do a lot of things automatically, and sensor cooking control is one of them. With a sensor cooking function, the GE Profile Countertop Microwave can detect the humidity level of the food and adjust its time and power setting for a deliciously cooked meal. This is a ground-breaking function that can only be seen in some advanced microwave models.

Cooking performance

When it comes to cooking power, a good microwave oven needs to generate even heat to produce evenly cooked food. We tested the heat evenness of the GE Profile PEM31SFSS by reheating a bowl of mashed potato into the oven. The dish came out evenly reheated and the turntable circles well during the process.

What the GE Profile Countertop Microwave can improve

Despite being excellent in many ways, the GE microwave oven is not without its flaws. The most obvious downside is its humble capacity. 1.1 cu. ft. is not too small of a microwave capacity, but it cannot accommodate too big bowls or plates. This is a small minus point for those who have big families and use kitchen utensils of large size. So yes, it’s a point you should notice if you want to get yourself a GE Profile Countertop Microwave.

Our final verdict

According to our GE Countertop Microwave reviews, this countertop microwave oven is not perfect, but it outperforms other products in various dimensions. Our staff was generally satisfied with its performance in heating, defrosting, warming up the foods, and its luxurious design is a real stunner to us.
