Anyone with a tight countertop budget or limited space should look at a smaller unit - at 21.87 inches wide, this is on the larger side for a countertop model. Those who want stainless steel will also need to look elsewhere.

Overview
At 1.4 cubic feet and 1,100W, the JES1460DSWW sits comfortably in the mid-size category where most family-use microwaves land. The 10 power levels give good control for defrosting, reheating, and light cooking. The white finish suits kitchens with white appliances, though it may show smudges more readily than stainless.
GE is a well-established appliance brand, and the $290 price reflects both the size and the brand recognition. The 21.87-inch exterior width is worth measuring against your available counter space before purchasing.
With 463 reviews and a 4.3-star rating, buyer feedback is consistent. That volume of reviews provides meaningful confidence that the unit performs as expected over time.

Performance notes
The 1,100W output puts this unit above entry-level 700-900W models in heating speed. With 10 power levels, you can step down for defrosting without the edge-cooking issues common at full power. The 1.4 cu ft cavity accommodates most dinner plates and standard-size casserole dishes. Dimensions of 16.37 x 21.87 x 12.5 inches place this in a larger footprint - verify your available counter depth before ordering.
What buyers say
A 4.3-star average from 463 reviews is a dependable rating for a mid-size GE microwave. Review volume at this level removes most statistical noise, and buyers at this price tier generally expect consistent heating and durability - the rating suggests this model delivers on both counts.
The JES1460DSWW operates at 1,100 watts. This is enough to heat most family-size portions efficiently and faster than entry-level 900W models, though it falls short of the 1,200W+ units at the higher end.
How large is this microwave?
The interior is 1.4 cubic feet, which fits most dinner plates and bowls comfortably. The exterior measures 16.37 x 21.87 x 12.5 inches, so confirm you have adequate counter width before purchasing.
Does the JES1460DSWW come in stainless steel?
This model is available in white only. If stainless steel is important for your kitchen aesthetic, you would need to look at a different GE model or a competitor that offers the same interior size in stainless.
