THE SHORT ANSWER

Our take

GE Profile PEB7226EHES combines a 2.2-cu.-ft. countertop cavity with 1,100-W microwave output, sensor cooking and a 16-in. turntable. GE's quick specs document 120 V / 60 Hz and separate 1,650-W electrical input, while the exact product page marks the model no longer manufactured. Optional slate trim kits create a separate installation path, but package inclusion and current Amazon mapping remain unverified.

Consider it for

Consider PEB7226EHES when a 2.2-cu.-ft. slate countertop microwave with sensor programs and a separate trim option fits the kitchen plan; verify cabinet opening and electrical needs..

Look elsewhere if

Choose another model if the trim kit must be included, you require a current confirmed Amazon offer, or your dishes need a turntable larger than 16 inches or a larger cavity.

Pros & cons

What could work for you, and what to consider before buying.

What works in its favor

  • GE documents a 2.2-cu.-ft. countertop cavity and a 16-in. turntable.
  • Sensor cooking, weight/time defrost and ten power levels are listed in the manufacturer specs.
  • Slate trim kits and 120-V / 60-Hz supply are documented for this exact family.

What to weigh up

  • GE marks the exact model no longer manufactured.
  • The 1,650-W input rating should be checked separately from 1,100-W output.
  • The trim kit is optional and the historical Amazon ASIN is not current mapping proof.

What the features mean for you

Match the exact PEB7226EHES code

GE's product page names PEB7226EHES and describes a 2.2-cu.-ft. countertop microwave. The quick-spec sheet distinguishes the slate EHES variant from the stainless PEB7226SFSS, so a seller's broad PEB7226 label is not enough to settle the finish or accessory pairing. GE marks this model no longer manufactured, a lifecycle fact rather than a statement about present secondhand stock. Check the entire suffix on a unit and confirm that a listing's package and condition match what you intend to buy.

Plan around the 2.2-cu.-ft. cavity and 16-inch tray

The manufacturer sheet lists a 2.2-cu.-ft. cavity and a 16-in. turntable, giving shoppers more nominal space than the 1.3- to 1.9-cu.-ft. models in the catalog. The measurements are useful for comparing scale, but they do not guarantee a specific dish fits with clearance while rotating. Check the base and handles of cookware you use often, and measure the appliance body and door swing against the counter. A larger volume rating helps with broad comparison; it cannot substitute for a physical fit check.

Keep microwave output separate from electrical input

GE's quick specs list 1,100 W of microwave output and 1,650 W of electrical input. The first value is used for the finder’s stated-output comparison; the second is the appliance's consumption figure and belongs in electrical planning. The sheet also identifies 120 V / 60 Hz supply. Confirm the rating label, grounded receptacle and circuit requirements for the actual unit before installation. Neither power number is an independent cooking test or a guarantee that a particular meal will heat in a set time.

Use sensor guidance without treating it as a result guarantee

The manufacturer specs describe sensor-cooking controls, weight and time defrost, one-touch instant operation and ten power levels. These controls make PEB7226EHES a different match from a basic timed compact oven: a shopper who values named automatic guidance can put it into a large-sensor path. The source documents available functions, not the result for every container or portion. Follow the operating guide and check food as needed. The model remains a conventional countertop microwave in the reviewed materials; no convection or grill mode is added to this profile.

Treat the slate trim kits as separate accessories

GE lists optional JX7230EHES and JX7227EFES kits for a built-in appearance with this slate model. The countertop microwave remains the appliance, while the trim frame and cabinet opening form a separate installation choice. Confirm the exact kit instructions, opening dimensions and whether the seller includes the accessory; do not infer inclusion from a product photo. The sheet also gives conditions for wall-oven installation, so check those restrictions if the microwave will be placed over another appliance. If using it on a counter, follow the regular clearance instructions instead.

Check supply and kitchen duty separately

The specification sheet confirms 120 V / 60 Hz and lists input wattage separately from output. That supports the finder’s exact supply filter, but it does not confirm the condition or amperage of a particular circuit. The reviewed GE materials identify a household Profile countertop model and do not provide a foodservice classification, so commercial duty stays unknown. For shared or regulated kitchen use, ask for the appropriate manufacturer classification and check the exact nameplate. Do not treat the word Profile or a retailer category as proof of restaurant-duty suitability.

Use an exact search because the old ASIN is unverified

The frozen Amazon page did not establish a current exact-model destination for ASIN B00NN14UFY. The shopping link therefore searches GE PEB7226EHES and includes buyershortlists-20. Compare the complete code, slate finish, accessory kit, condition and seller return terms on any result. GE's discontinued notice does not prove that no used unit is available, but it does mean the page should not imply current manufacture or guaranteed retail support. No current price, inventory or review-summary claim is made here.

What else to compare

Compare other 2.2-cu.-ft. sensor models if a current manufacturer-supported offer is important. If your cabinet plan depends on trim, choose only a model with the exact kit code and opening dimensions documented for its finish.
