Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is perfect for those that have a range hood, but would rather have an over the range microwave. The cabinet above my range was 18” tall which did not allow for an OTR microwave because the bottom would be too close to the cooktop. This OTR microwave was perfect because it’s only 10-1/4” tall. So after the install, I have 19-1/8” to the bottom of the microwave which is plenty of space. The install was easy. The mounting bracket also doubles as a template for the holes that need to be drilled into the cabinet. This is much easier and faster than trying to deal with paper templates that come with other OTR microwaves. The hardest part was adding an outlet for the microwave to plug into.....and that’s not really hard at all! The microwave is very quiet, but yet powerful. The 3 speed fan is also quiet and powerful. There is also an LED light that shines on the cooktop. This microwave is sleek in design, but very roomy on the inside. I can put a 6” tall bowl in it with no trouble. It has a feature that lets one turn off the turntable that will let one put a 13x9 dish in it with ease. I can not speak for it’s longevity as I have only had it for a few days. I am very happy I made this purchase.

I replaced a standard over-the-range microwave with this low-profile Whirlpool model, and I love the difference. It gives the kitchen a much cleaner, more elevated look while still providing plenty of space for everything we normally heat or cook. Because the previous microwave was larger, I needed additional backsplash tile installed, so I had this professionally installed. The extra work was worth it. We are not cooking anything oversized in a microwave, so the smaller interior has not been a problem at all. It looks great, works well, and is exactly what we needed

Overall decent buying experience with best buy. However you could do without the mask police at the front door. The low profile whirlpool microwave we purchased works well for the space. Looks sleek a little pricey for a microwave but that seems to be the way with low profile. Has some cool features like the touch screen is like your phone you don't have to use pressure. To open you lightly touch and " bink" it pops open ...kinda cool ..heats food good and easy to dyi install!

I love how small and stylish this microwave is. I just re-modeled my kitchen with new cabinets, tile, quartz, and other appliances. I did not intend on buying a microwave because I do not use them, but my husband insisted. I also did not want to spend a lot on the "other brand" microwave and found this one. It is very spacious with more than enough room to cook or re-heat anything. The under-microwave lights are a nice addition to illuminate your cooktop, and the fans seem to be fine and not too loud. It looks as good or better than the competition but at a much lower price. I would definitely purchase this again.

Space saver! Works great, doesn't take up as much room as I thought it would, which is great. Looks nice, clean look with buttons under the door, but takes some getting used to. I'm glad the 30 second/start button is on the outside. Wish it had the quick minute buttons, for one minute or two minutes, I do miss that. I like the music it plays when it's done, that's nice. It also plays as a reminder if you forget your coffee or whatever in there.

This microwave is sleek, small on the outside, but with plenty of space inside. It opens up a lot of space above my stove and has handled everything I’ve thrown at it — thawing, cooking frozen microwave dinners and even popping full sized popcorn. Highly recommended!

Microwave fit well in my small space. Very powerful and I love the design with buttons on the inside of the door. Pardon the construction in the photo.

This is the greatest microwave that I’ve owned in a very long time. My cabinet sit low because of a vent that runs above the cabinets. A regular sized microwave would sit lower then the cabinets making it much closer to the stove. When I did some research I came across this microwave. I was a little nervous about getting it because of the height limiting the amount of things you can put into it. I’ve had it now for almost two weeks and I have to say it is the best decision I made when it came to buying a microwave. Just renovated my kitchen and it looks great being one of the eye catching pieces. I’ve used it almost every day and it’s fast and easy to use. The fan has three settings hi, med, low. The light has two setting hi and low. It has a button to open it and when it’s done heating something up it has a nice chime that rings instead of the usual loud noises that microwaves make. The price is definitely on the higher end but at the end of the day it’s definitely worth it. Coincidentally I bought a stove from the same brand and it looks like I purposely got a package brand set. I love the brand whirlpool.

Sleek modern design — it gives the kitchen a premium and clean look. * Space-saving profile — it doesn’t stick out as much as traditional over-the-range microwaves.

This low profile whirlpool microwave is a must have for every kitchen. The sleek and modern low profile design, is the perfect appliance for any kitchen . It doesn’t take up a lot of space, is as powerful as a full sized microwave and allows enough clearance above the range so you can cook with ease, even when using taller pots on your stove . If your into minimalism, then this is the microwave for you . I selected the white low profile microwave, because I’m into the retro / classic kitchen design. I find that white appliances give a kitchen a clean, neat and welcoming kitchen vibe. The kitchen is said to be the heart of the home. So, it’s imperative that you select appliances that will enhance your cooking experience, while making lasting memories preparing meals for family and friends . #whirlpool low profile microwave- great buy with great features.

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.

Sleek looking microwave that could have used better instructions. The instructions sufficed however, they made a lot of assumptions about the cabinet above not having any trim and at times I wish were slightly more detailed. The microwave also is very quiet and easy to use. I like the low profile appearance a lot

This is great redesign on the normal over the range microwave. It is easy to install and is so sleek and minimalist looking I love it in my kitchen. It frees up some space over the range and is almost like tearing down a wall in the kitchen to open up space!

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.

We absolutely LOVE our microwave!!! It fit well, was relatively easy to put up, nothing some time and prayer won’t fix, and it works very well!! It sings to you when it’s done lol and I would highly suggest it!!

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

The model is modern and stylish; it's compact but still very roomy! Easy to install with wall plate.

This is a beautiful 1.1 cu ft microwave. It was relatively easy to install and looks rich and clean. Works great. The bell at the conclusion of the cycle is quite inaudible. 4 1/2 stars

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.

Very unique product, as far as I know Whirlpool is the only manufacturer making the Low Profile over the range Microwaves. So much better having that distance between the stove top and the microwave! Better exhaust and easier to see what you are cooking. The old low hanging unit was covered in grease! I vented the unit directly out the back to the outside and the air flow is unbelievable! Very good removal of fumes and smoke from cooking! Very impressive looking unit too! The metal mounting bracket doubles as a template for all the holes making installation a breeze. Simply hold the bracket up against the bottom of the upper cabinet and mark the three holes for the two bolts and cord. Had the wife help me to hold it while getting the bolts started. Only confusing thing was finding the start button. It is labeled with an arrow and +30 seconds. Surprising all the manufacturers are not making these low profile units. This is a bit pricey but worth every penny, get it on sale as it goes often. Two LED lights (one inside and one lights your stove top) are bright, use very little power and should last forever. Great product!
