Whirlpool microwave

Car48 3/8/2026

I like it. Don't like the cook, reheat, numbers and instructions how to cook, etc., inside the door. My old one had it all on the outside. the fan goes off after running awhile. I was surprised that I could get items in this one since my old one was so much bigger.

Just fine

Xhoc 1/29/2026

Overall works just fine. It defrosts and heats food as intended. Looks good and is easy to clean. The defrost button seems limited (although could be user error). Push it for a "1" and the minimum run time is 9 minutes. The start button 30 sec increments seems a little touchy and you have to press it just right when adding time.

Over range microwave inspires change

Lilscamper 11/2/2025

I am so happy I bought this. I had hated the vent-a-hood that was over my range for 18 years. This is so pretty and frees up counter space where my previous microwave sat. Because it™€™s black and my appliances are white it has spurred me to replace my countertop, which I have also hated, to tie in the black and white.

Long overdue replacement. Finally, I can vent air outside with a low-decibel fan. It is so quiet compared to any unit I've had in the past. Its low height means I can see the entire stove top!

I just bought this and I am happy I did! It is the perfect size and I love the streamline look. Functionally the fan and light work great! Finish is somewhat fingerprint resistant. Important controls are still on outside light, fan,30sec start and door open( also manually can open door! The other controls are on inside and take some getting used to but I still would recommend especially if used to replace hood vent above stove! I would recommend this product

TomS 9/18/2025

Blue protective shipping tape is way too hard to remove from the stove -- almost impossible. It shreds into small pieces rather come off in one strip. Took hours to remove. I will choose another manufacturer for the next appliance

DMC59 8/21/2025

I've had it installed 6wks now. I don't care for the key pad on the inside of the door. To much to punch in I like to just push my time and start. When it runs with turn table it sounds like corn popping. I've tried everything to stop it.

Exhaust issues

HVACtech 7/31/2025

It™€™s in a second home, haven™€™t used it too much. Microwave works well. One complaint is while it™€™s vented through the roof. When exhaust fan is operating, air blows out the front of the unit on the left side. All ducting changes have been made for roof venting.

kenb 7/24/2025

More Room . . . and a Learning Curve

Realone 5/3/2025

My new low-profile microwave gives me more room to use larger pots on my stove top burners. Sad to say, I'm still learning to use my new microwave - to add more time because it's lower in power, set the cook time before I close the door because the keypad is on the inside, and figure out a way to keep it "finger-print" free.

Fit, Form and Function very good

homecook 3/31/2025

Fit, form and function are very good. This microwave replaced a standard full size over the range microwave providing significantly more clearance above the cook top, a big convenience for cooking. This was the primary incentive for replacing the previous microwave with a low profile unit. For our use the control panel needs to be illuminated. A backlit control panel or an LED strip inside the side face of the door opening would be useful to surface illuminate the control panel.

Good size but lacks useful features.

JohnB 3/26/2025

I replaced a GE Profile full size over the range microwave. I wanted more room to cook. This product did that and is big enough for the two of us. I don't like the handleless door, the alarm is so quiet we cannot hear it when just outside the kitchen. Also am not happy there is no sensor cooking. I would not buy again. It has a premiere price but lacks useful features.

Positives and negatives.

Bakaszynski 3/14/2025

Positives are the small footprint gives me more room to cook around the range and because it protrudes further out than my old one hopefully the recirculated steam will blow away from my cabinet doors. Negatives are no door handle, very muted alarm makes the timer worthless since you can only hear it if you are in the kitchen, and no sensor cooking like my old GE Profile had. Also I thought Whirlpool products were made here in the USA not Canada, a country that hates America and our citizens.

Sleek upgrade and highly functional hood

TMAP 12/30/2024

We bought this in Lowes and were so grateful to stumble upon a 50% sale as these low profile microwaves are usually in the $500+ price range. This is sleek, beautiful and enhances the look of our kitchen. We don't mind its small size as it basically won't fit anything taller than a Venti Starbuck's cup, because we bought this without the intent to cook with it, just heat up drinks or leftovers. Microwave cooking is not considered healthy, so it's just a backup appliance but it's a beautiful one. And the lighting and the fan work so well. The manual opening and automatic opening are solid features. We use both. Highly recommend this microwave/hood.
