Needed a microwave that would allow more space above the stove, and this one delivered. It surprisingly spacious and have ran into anything I needed to heat up that couldn’t fit inside. It also has a clean stylish look.

I love it that it allows more space above the stove. It's also very nice looking and the smaller size hasn't been a problem. So glad we changed out the old bigger one to this one. I gave it only 4 stars bc the plastic covering the numbers started to wrinkle/come off a few weeks after we started using it. It's not a big deal bc the door covers the number pad so it still looks very nice.

I love this microwave. The low profile gives you lots of room over the stove and it is well thought out. The start button automatically gives you 30 seconds of time which is great for warming up most things. The light on the clock is not so bright that it lights up your kitchen like the Las Vegas strip which is a plus. The only minus I have is that there is no indicator light for the button to turn on the microwave lights over the stove so when the kitchen is dark in the morning I keep hitting the fan button by mistake
Oven was delivered without defect. It was installed a couple of months after purchase which did not result in any complications from our agreed installation from Best buy. The oven is a replacement for our original 1962 era oven and has a lot of features we needed to get used to. The modern bells and whistles are very nice to have and the oven is performing its cooking duties well. Currently we are using the self-clean feature. However we are having problems getting some caramelized deposits off of the glassdoor interior. I called Frigidaire for some help and the support people were courteous. As of yet I do not have the glass door clean, but with their help I hope to soon have that figured out. Best Buy had competitive pricing and their lead salesman was knowledgeable. Prior to finally settling on this model, I bought another model which did not suit us as well, but fortunately the return and credit process was easy via Best Buy. This microwave oven looks great and works great. I wish the numeric keypad was on the outside of the door instead of necessitating opening the door first. It's a little narrow from top to bottom but fits most items well. We bought this unit because it was narrow and allowed us maximum room between our stove top and range hood. The 'end of cooking' chime has a pleasant sound and it's not too quiet and not too loud, but I wish I had an option to make it louder when I know I will be across the house when it goes off. I do like the door "open" button on the unit's front that I can use when both my hands are full and yet I also need to get that door open to put two items in it. When I clean its glass exterior where the touch buttons are, whatever button I hit starts its function. For example if I'm cleaning the exterior where the fan button is, the fan goes off. I wish that didn't happen because as a result I avoid cleaning that area. I would recommend this unit as long as the issues I've mentioned aren't a deal breaker.

Installation was fairly easy. We were told it wouid not fit by Best Buy chat... it did fit. I like the 'low profile". It seems like it takes longer to cook items

Only had this a few days but love its modern look: slim, sleek, simple and shiny. Easy to use. Quick installation. Great in my small kitchen.

Had my unit’s fan vented to the outside. The directions are not accurate as one panel is unable to be reversed as the directions indicate because there is no hole for the screw. Had to put tape on the panel to prevent the fan from bringing the exhaust back into the house. The corner of the door is very sharp and it has gotten a family member in the neck. The microwave works well. It is small in height but very good for reheating food. There aren’t many choices for low profile microwaves but this one does the job and looks nice.

I really like this low profile microwave. Be aware that if you are replacing a regular size over-the-stove, you will have to cover holes because the low profile is a lot higher up the wall. Also, it sticks out a little further than the other one. I love it though and I have much more room over my stove. One thing I am concerned about is that the door opens with a button, no handle. Hopefully that will last for the life of the microwave.

I bought this as part of our kitchen renovation. I didn’t even know they made low profile microwave ovens, as I had never seen anyone with one in their home. We don’t cook whole meals in ours, so the extra space inside a standard microwave oven just isn’t really needed for us...and probably most people. Keep in mind while the unit is definitely shorter in height than a standard, it is also deeper, so it will protrude our more from your cabinets thanks a standard, especially if you have 12 inch deep wall cabinets like me. It isn’t a problem though and it looks awesome. The fan is also more powerful than the larger units...ironically. It looks and sounds premium.

Very happy with it. Has a subtle "ding" when it's done. Love the 3 fan speeds and 2 light settings. My only complaint is that you have to open it to use the timer. Sometimes I just want to time things outside the microwave. And I wish it were more flush with the cupboards. It actually sticks out a few inches. We were more worried about meeting the 18" safety height requirement above the stove when we were measuring.

The low profile of this microwave gave us so much more cook space. (See photo, you can see how low the old microwave was because we need to paint the wall there.) We have not run into the issue some reviewers mentioned with the turntable not staying on but did notice the model in store didn’t sit flat. Overall, I’d say it’s worth the price and has been a game changer for us in our kitchen.

Love this microwave. Very high tech and super sleek. The open button is freaking awesome! Buttons are a little smaller and on the inside so gotta get use to that setup. Leaves plenty of space over stove.

I like how this gives me more wall space. The design is sleek, even the inside with a stainless steel color and a fun Diamond texture on the back wall. I like that you don’t have to yank on a handle to open this, you just push a touch button and the door opens. The only thing I don’t like is that the vent fan is really noisy. It was also difficult to install as the holes on the top of the microwave did not line up with the holes in the top cabinet from our previous whirlpool microwave. It does stick out further than our last microwave, but isn’t an issue so far

It works good. The thing is you have to have the door open to access the key pad. The fan, light, start, stop and add 30 seconds on the door. Everything else you have to have the door open to use. It makes for a very clean look but, kind of a pain in the “you know what” to use.

So far it’s been great. Easy to install with basic instructions and template for mounting and locating holes for power. Long door takes a bit to get used to but other than that it’s great

Pretty easy install, but not sure the template is right on. Noticed once cooking is finished the door button stops the warning beep, but if you manually open the door it keeps beeping. The glass dish has a triangle wheel that can get out of line easy. Whirlpool has some pretty bad reviews. Seems good so far. Noticed a small dent on the metal door out the box, seems alittle cheap.

We bought this microwave to replace an old range hood that was beginning to fail. Given the size of our cabinets, this was the only microwave on the market that could fit our needs. Installation was fairly straight forward. I am going to deduct one star, because the nut that is welded on the inside of the microwave for the screw to go into, broke off inside the microwave. Now that we have it installed, there is no way for us to loosen the bolt if we need to remove it. (I have attached a picture showing my current situation with the broken nut) With that being said, overall, the performance of this microwave has been outstanding. The venting functionality is incredibly strong, the microwave itself is quiet when in operation, and heating performance is good. I really like the automatic opening of the door, which is handy if you are not able to pull the door open manually. I am also impressed with how well the popcorn button on the microwave works. Each bag of popcorn we make comes out almost perfect.

I am amazed at this microwave. Love the functionality. The illumination of the light is just right; not too bright. The fan has multiple levels. the first being very loud, but clearing a room quickly of obtrusive smells. Like that you don't have a noticeable amount of buttons; they're hidden within the door. Heats quickly and food heated thoroughly.

My fridge is right next to the range on the left side, this microwave fits perfect and allows the door to be open all the way (90 degrees), the fan does not turn automatically and is loud even on low, no wifi capability. I wish it would have wifi like the Samsung at the same price (which I tried but the door didn’t open because there is no clearance since the fridge is right next to the stove, so I had to return it). Got it for $399.

Very nice low profile microwave. Easy to mount with template all in one. Seems to warm food fast. The bottom lights could be brighter. Microwave had some dings on the side straight out of the box, but was mostly hidden when installed.
