Perfect Fit for Whirlpool 1.6 Cu built in
Overall, the microwave works quite well. Food doesn’t come out scorching hot as our last one did which is nice. It’s powerful but not overkill. Popcorn using the built in sensor alway comes out perfect and not burnt. The only two caveats are the door won’t open unless you hit the cancel or pause button which takes some getting used to. I’m detracting one star for that funky user experience. May be safer for children but we never had an issue with raising 4 kids. Secondly, this is more of a preference, but the light green readout is a bit dim and contrasts with the other appliances that have a blue tone. Great microwave! Just be prepared to hit an additional button before pushing the door open button!
