7 Best GE Countertop Microwave Features
Top GE Countertop Microwave Models
The microwave is one of the most common kitchen appliances in the United States. Families use these appliances to reheat leftovers, pop popcorn, and prepare a variety of foods. Despite its common nature, very few people actually know how microwaves work. The appliances emit electromagnetic waves (known as microwaves) that excite food particles like water, oil, and sugar. Because these waves aren’t very strong, there might be times when your food is hot on the outside and cold inside.
If you want to add a microwave to your house, you can’t go wrong with a model by GE. This company has more than a century of history and innovation to provide the best possible product for American consumers. The right GE countertop microwave can make meal preparation easier and more enjoyable.

You can see how advanced microwave technology is by exploring the various features that come with most new appliances. While every microwave is different, there are a few common tools that you can take advantage of when you buy a GE countertop microwave. Here are a few features to look out for.
- Turntables: most microwave oven models come with turntables that rotate their food while heating it. This provides a more even cooking experience as the microwaves bounce around the interior.
- One-touch operation: modern microwaves don’t require a lot of programming. You can start heating your meal with a single push of a button.
- Multiple power levels: if you decide to choose specific settings, there are plenty to work with. Some microwaves have 10 power levels or more to cook your food correctly.
- Child locks: keep your kids from microwaving things they shouldn’t – potentially burning themselves – with child locks on your microwave.
- Senor controls: modern microwaves will use cooking sensors to automatically adjust power and duration levels. This prevents you from checking on your food every 30 seconds or overcooking your meals.
- Air Fry: look for advanced features that crisp your food with air fry and broil technology.
- Warming oven systems: keep food warm without overcooking it with a warming feature.
You can also choose a countertop microwave that meets your specific size and storage needs. Your appliance doesn’t have to take up much space but it will still be able to heat up large dishes and casseroles.

GE produces a variety of microwaves to improve the lives of consumers. Several of these microwaves are highly rated by industry experts and receive positive reviews from customers. Get to know some of the top microwave models so you can choose the best one for your home.
What is the average life of a countertop microwave?
Most kitchen appliances last between 10 to 15 years. Their lifespan depends on how frequently they are used and the brands that produce the appliances. A microwave from a trusted brand that you use regularly might last closer to 15 years because of the quality materials used to assemble it.
What is the difference between a countertop microwave and a built-in microwave?
A countertop microwave rests on your counter space and plugs into an outlet in the wall. You can add a countertop microwave to any kitchen and place it anywhere that it will fit. This is the most flexible microwave option. Built-in models, on the other hand, are often installed within your existing cabinetry. These microwaves are often placed above stovetops or ranges and have filtration systems to prevent smoke and odors from spreading through your house.
