Inner coating chips away!
- February 11, 2025[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this microwave because it worked out perfect for my limited space above my stove. Microwave works great! However, after less than a yr the coating inside started to chip away. Never have used any harsh chemicals to clean inside; only a mild soap and water. I have emailed the company about this issue and noone responds. I have bought cheap countertop microwaves that never looked like this one inside, YEARS AFTER PURCHASE! This purchase to me was semi major being the cost. With installation, I paid almost $1,000.00 Its extremely embarassing to open, especially when company needs to use it. Highly unsatisfied. Think twice before purchasing.

Latest, Greatest, Best Ever!!
- June 9, 2023[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was tired of the big bulky looking microwaves above my stove! I am 65 and have had many! This one is sleek and looks amazing. It works and cooks better than any I have had! I like the buttons are inside behind the door! Quick guide on inside of door! Clock show and cook minutes in white! Fan has 2 speeds which are perfect! The light is awesome. It can be hooked to outside vent or recirculating. This microwave was worth spending the extra $ on! You get what you pay! Don’t hesitate it’s a great product .

Modern look
- March 6, 2025[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a unit that makes your kitchen look like it is from the future With the motorized door opener , the suction is great at more than 24” away, the external light is halogen and weak, the grease filters are inadequate, since the filtering material will let most of the grease go through

Small height is good, quiet
- June 1, 2025[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The door hangs down, it’s not straight, but is loose enough that I can manually push it up.The left side panel is not flush like it should be, wider on top than on the bottom and very apparent. I have pictures of this if you can direct me how to send them, it is not allowing me to do it below

Creating counter space
- March 29, 2023[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a little over a month ago and I am so happy I did, I have reclaimed counter space, 3 stage stovetop lighting & a 3 stage powerful hood fan. I love the hidden menu & keypad panel. It is a touch pad so fingerprints will show. Careful wiping/cleaning it though as with a touch pad, the door will open, the light will turn on & the fan will blast at high speed, but the look of it & all the pros outweigh all that. Sorry, digital numbers have never showed up correctly in photos.

Give it a try
- February 15, 2021[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Compact, sleek design. Quite pricy but it does provide a lot of extra space between bottom of microwave and stove. Where it saves space on the bottom, it makes up for it in width. I wasn’t expecting it to stick out past my cabinets but now that I’ve gotten accustom to it, I actually like it. It complements my range nicely, and I like how the light provides added coverage to top of stove.

Fist Time Whirlpool
- October 15, 2024[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this last month and so far very happy. We use the open button open the door hopefully the mechanism will last. This is my first Whirlpool appliance I ever purchased so I’m hoping I have it for a long time. My last microwave was a Shark and it lasted me 36 years.

Great innovative design!
- August 23, 2025[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love my microwave as it has a push button to open which is a nice feature plus all the numbers and controls are on the inside so it’s a learning curve to punch in the timings then close. The fan and light controls are on the left side so set off by themselves. I’ve only had it a week but it’s quiet and at just the right level since it’s so compact. Yesterday I used it for popcorn using the popcorn button and it came out perfect. This replaced a relic counter microwave that was here when I bought my condo and I couldn’t be more happy with this purchase!
