Solid Microwave for the price.

Posted by: from Michigan on 04/30/2012Overall, this is a great microwave for the price. It looks good and does a great job with the food. The only negative is that the exhaust fan is a little loud.

Good Microwave

Posted by: from Manchester, MI on 04/02/2012We bought this as a replacement of the same one as we had for 1 1/2 years. Something happened to it, which could have been caused by inlaws using the wrong items in it. We like it and it is easy to use even for our boys.

Good Value, but exhaust fan needs redesign
2
Posted by: from Fl. on 03/30/2012Was pleased with most aspects of this microwave except the exhaust fan. Repairman was unable to fix, he said that's the design. I have fan vented to room but it pulls very little steam from range. I believe this is a design flaw that should be redesigned

Posted by: from Palm Springs on 03/20/2012I love my Whirlpool Microwave, I was fortunate to purchase it during Presidents Day weekend and I got a great price at $192.00 This microwave looks great ( I really like the vents on top and out of sight) it allows for a cleaner look. It performs beyound my expectations. Great Microwave.

Posted by: from Columbia, IL on 03/14/2012Both arrived damage. One I picked up at the store and had to take back. the second, shipped to my home, so I have to assume this is handing issues with Best Buy. I'm waiting to see how Best buy will handle this one

Damaged - horrible service
1
Posted by: from Boca Raton, FL on 03/04/2012I can't tell you if the microwave works. We got it home and it was damaged. When we called to see if there were more in stock, we spoke to 3 different people before we found out that the damaged one we received was the last one. Go figure. When we tried to return it, we were told they couldn't process the credit since we bought it yesterday and it takes 24 hours to process. Really?? In this instant digital age. Epic fail. And to think up until today I bought all appliances, televisions, phones, etc. from Best Buy. No more.

Great Value

Posted by: from Orlando, FL on 03/01/2012Nice stainless steel microwave for the price. All the features you need. Only potential drawback is a smaller turn-plate (standard). Not a problem in most cases.

I really like my new microwave!

Posted by: from sandwich,il on 01/17/2012The touch of the "add 30 sec" button is getting alot of use and how convienant. Oh the only thing Ive come across once so far is that when I was boiling water in a big pan it was throwing off alot of hot steam and the microwave fan automaticaly came on and was loud and wouldnt shut off untill it cooled down.

18 months of use

Posted by: from san diego on 01/08/2012This appears to be an epidemic with whirpool microwaves and bad magnetrons. Bought this microwave in March of 2010, stopped working in Dec of 2011. My last GE micrwave lasted 9 years, the magnetron went bad, and GE sent me a new one at no charge. Whirlpool does not appear to have this gaurantee. I called Whirpool, they did not even offer to help with anything.

Best Microwave we have ever owned
5
Posted by: from Florida on 01/07/2012This is the third microwave we have owned and the first over the range version. The installation process did not take as long as I expected and for the most part was simple, but I am handy. So far we are extremely happy with the space savings and performance of this microwave.

Average for price

Posted by: from Sioux Falls, SD on 12/03/2011Hope it lasts longer than the Whirlpool OTR it replaced. This one is nearly the same model as its predecessor. But, I don't think it heats as well. Aesthetically it looks better though.

Love my new microwave!
5
Posted by: from Port Hueneme, CA on 12/02/2011The design is sleek and the finish beautiful. I've had it only a month and so far cooks evenly and is easy to operate. Great value for the price! The only thing that is a slight nuisance is that is shows fingerprints easily...but then again all these new types of finishes do.

User friendly stove top microwave
5
Posted by: from Phoenix, AZ on 10/26/2011I enjoy all the features available on this microwave oven. I have yet to find anything about it I don't like. Food heats evenly and there are many built in options for reheating or cooking food.

Runs quiet and looks good
5
Posted by: from Maine on 08/10/2011We've been using this microwave for a couple of weeks and so far it has met all of my expectations. It is quiet while running, I love the light with the nightlight. The fan is also fairly quiet. I looked around for an above the range microwave that had the interior space of a regular size countertop and this one does. I have had three GE microwaves over the last 10 years one was a counter top and then we bought the same type for over the range. We moved and left it behind. I then bought another counter top GE model. So when I started looking for an over the range model because of a kitchen remodel I really wanted the same type because I liked the one touch operation, each button 1-6 is that many minutes. I give up looking for the GE because they were all so small on the inside. So I decided to give this Whirlpool a try, the price was great due to a sale, The interior is larger than most in my price range, The turntable is the larger size, it looks good, the door is quieter than most microwaves when you close it and keying in the minutes isn't that bad after all....and if I take time to read the manual beyond general operation I may find that I am able to set it up that way. Will come back in a few months to let you know how it is holding up.
