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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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

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!

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

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

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!

I didn't want a huge microwave to take up counter space so this compact microwave hood combination was a great idea! Easy to use, does its job, cute and affordable.

This is the best microwave I’ve ever owned. First the fan is wonderful. I forget to put it on and I will see so much steam and the fan takes it way so quickly. The microwave itself works wonderful always. The look is beautiful I get so many compliments. I renovated my kitchen and wanted a modern look. I’m going to do over another condo and will be buying this same microwave. It’s absolutely worth the money

Great over counter microwave! Easy to use, understanding the cook settings is a breeze! So far i love it!! Had a samsung that was a lemon. This one is pretty and easy to use all functions.

I am so happy I found this microwave. I needed to replace the hood in my small kitchen and I stumbled upon this. It solved 2 problems in one. I gained more counter space and it fit where my old hood was. I have been using it for about a month now and the only negative I can see is that the light isn’t as bright as my old hood. Fairly easy to install after watching a YouTube video. I love it so far!!
