I was hesitant to purchase a smaller microwave, but it fits perfect over the range and right under our cabinets. A traditional microwave would not have fit so we didn’t really have a choice, but don’t let the size scare you. Anything you need to microwave still fits. I love the touch screen on the outside as well and the multiple fan and light settings.

We wanted to get the microwave off the counter but because of a pot filler faucet mounted on the wall behind the cook top we would have had to either move the plumbing or raise the upper cabinet. Both would require a significant amount of work and cost. This product was not only an option, it was a GREAT option. Turns out to be just what we wanted without the pain of demolition. Glad we found it when we did.

We just moved into our new house and there was no over the range microwave due to the area being smaller than usual. I did some research and found this microwave and i LOVE IT! Can’t wait to change my stove to match this thing!

I love that the height gives me more access to my cooktop burners. There is plenty of space inside. The only negative for me is the control panel is on the inside of the door.

Love that I have more space between stove and microwave. So much easier to use & see cooktop/oven controls. Microwave inside is perfect size. Would totally recommend. Also easy to retrofit.

Love the microwave but it came dented. Thought if I put it up it would hide the dent but it didn’t and now I have to look at it in my kitchen with the dent in it every day. Such a disappointment

I pulled it out of the box and one of the sides is damaged. The mounting will cover most of it. I’m debating on whether or not to have it replaced. I’m knee deep in the install since I’ve removed the old microwave.
I will update after the install is completed

I've been waiting for this low profile Over the range microwave for a few years already. They used to make these more often but then every company went the bigger is better way and I was stock with an Whirlpool unit that hung only 15 inches above the stove. Not a good thing if you wanna keep your microwave free from grease and have proper venting while cooking. This 7011 unit is great, low profile that now sits whole 20 inches above the stove. Planty room to pull in the cooking steams and remain clean from oil and grease. The install was a little tricky for me as the cabinet mounting holes required a minimum 12 inches distance away from the back wall but my old cabinets are only 12 inches away so the drilled holes ended up being right next to the end rim of the cabinet and prevented me from easily using the provided washers. I ended up cutting into the cabinet rim to be able to slide the washer into it and aligning the whole with the mounting bolt. In the end its a very strong hold. Another problem with the install was that the none of the wall mounting holes aligned with the studs in the wall and I didnt wanna use the ankers if I didn't have to so I decided not to use any of the pre-drilled mounting holes and drilled 4 holes through the metal mounting bracket directly into the studs, two at the top of the bracket and two at the bottom. In the end much stronger install then using the wall ankers in my opinion. I love this microwave. It looks great giving an updated look to an outdated kitchen, lol, and prevented me from cutting down the cabinets to be able to fit regular size microwave. p.s. Just be ready to do something with the extra space on the back wall that is left under the microwave . Mine left a bare wall so before installing the new unit I had to place some stone tiles where the regular tiles were missing, just an extra time spent but make sure to plan for that when replacing a larger unit with this one. Good luck

Replaced my standard size over the oven microwave with the Whirlpool. Easy to install as the template for marking the holes is actually the mounting bracket itself which is metal. No measuring or working with a paper template. The micro wave is great, 4 fan speeds and the low one is not that loud. I typically do not used the fan as I have a built in in-line fan in my duct work. The oven controls are simple and when the timer goes off it is not that loud, but noticeable. You can set the level. The only consideration for not getting the micro wave is I have mine mounted to the cabinet which is high and at 5' 9" i can just see the food I put in the microwave to heat. Any higher or a shorter person would not see the food as it is heating. Contrarily to another reviewer, the light on the bottom of the microwave lights up my entire cook top, not the back wall as the reviewer describe with a picture. So this is a great microwave if you want a low profile one. No cons for me. I have used the microwave for about 2 months, so far so good. I like having the controls in the inside of the door where it is not noticeable.

Bought this to replace a much larger 20 year old GE Profile. The low profile is great. It frees up so much space over the range/stove top. It's also sleek, shiny and quiet. The modern chimes and touch screen are really nice.
The only downside was the directions are very complicated and took multiple times reading to fully understand. It would have been easier if the instructions said simply use the template to drill holes and securely attach the mounting bracket so it is level front to back and side to side. As it is I didn't see anyplace it said to check level front to back, and since my cabinet has a slight lip on the front the microwave is a little lower in the front than in the back. It doesn't affect use so I'll probably leave it because it is a heavy job lifting it into the space. It fits perfectly and looks great!

This unit is the perfect size for a small space. Looks and works great. Some great features like the easy open for example. Fans blow even harder then the old hood and installation was easier than I expected. Very pleased.

First the bad part. This was ordered in early November with an expected delivery date of 1/3/23 which was ok. We wanted the low profile microwave to replace a microwave that had died. First it was changed to 1/12/23, then to 2/26/23, then 2/27/23, then 3/7/23, then 3/8/23. Finally we found one in stock and picked it up on 3/10/23. Each time we were "guaranteed" it would be there on the promised date. We like the low profile, it gives better visibility to the cooktop below. I like the light and fan so it acts like a range hood as well. It lights up when you open the door and when food is cooking. On the negative side, it is loud for a microwave. Also, the buttons are mostly hidden behind the door which makes it look sleek, but hinders the usability. This means you must punch in the time with the door open, close the door then press start. I'm used to put something in the microwave, close the door then push all the required buttons. Also, this creates a very long door which can get in the way when open. The sensor reheat function is useless. There are many options to setup, but in all cases I've tried it takes way too long. We have a small Panasonic microwave that has sensor reheat. You press one button, then start. It doesn't care what is in the microwave, it figures it out and works much better. We used that function all the time when we had the counter space for it. We don't use it at all on the Whirlpool In the end we would probably buy it again simply due to the low profile. If there were other options in the desired color, we would strongly consider them.

I purchase this microwave for about two weeks ago. The microwave looks great in my kitchen. It fit in my kitchen very well for the little cabinet space we had. It’s easy to clean. The instructions were a little difficult to understand. My husband was able to get the microwave install in a day, with a little help of YouTube. I wish the display would show the microwaves functions before purchasing the microwave at Best Buy. There are a few things that are negative about the microwave. First of all the light is not very bright. The light is to dim for the two selections on it. If I do not have my kitchen lights on I would not be able to see what I’m cooking. My old hood had a better light. The vent hood does not pull out all the smoke out. I tried it with the carbon filters in and without the carbon filters my house was still full of smoke. The exhaust fan is very loud compared to my old vent hood. I read everyone’s review before I purchased it. The reviews were raving about it but I’m not too happy with it. I wish I went with a different system.

Love our new microwave!! Light and fan really add to my cooking area. Sleek look makes our kitchen look bigger. Very happy with its performance and easy to use. Sensor cooking works great for leftovers.

Best Microwave for replacing conventional hood

Wanted to replace my older range hood with a microwave. A traditional microwave would have hung too low and made it hard to access back burners on stove. This microwave is low profile and looks great and allows access to back of stove. If your home was built with microwave already above stove than this microwave isn’t necessary. As far as looks and operations it works great, has light on bottom to illuminate stove and a four speed exhaust fan than can be configured to recirculate or duct outside. Plenty of room inside and it’s super quiet. The fingerprint resistance model is best option.

I love the ease of use of this microwave. Love the fan and light over my stove and the freeing up of counter space. So quiet to use also
