Best space saving option ever! Many have said “how do you even use that it’s so small?” We didn’t have an option, as our top cabinets were too low for a standard size microwave. We do not regret this one bit. It looks small but it’s so spacious!! The design is beautiful and we find every feature very nice! There’s even different fan speeds and brightness of the light underneath. I have not found one single issue when it comes to the size and what you can cook. Don’t hesitate if you’re on the fence, it’s perfect!

This really worked out well for my space. I needed a smaller microwave/vent for my parents condo. As the kitchen was small and there wasn't much room between the cabinet and countertop I was worried I wouldn't find anything. This left more then enough room and the install was very easy but you will definitely need a hand to install as you need to hold it up while setting the screws. The light, vent fan work really well and there is surprisingly a good amount of room inside. We easily fit casserole dishes and bowls inside.

Needed a low profile microwave in order to have enough room between the gas burners and the over-the-range microwave. Very easy to use, and very powerful ventilation system. Installing this in place of our standard range hood vent was not easy. Be sure you read all of the install instructions more than once, and search you tube for how-to videos. This microwave is very heavy 70+ pounds, and will require more than one person to install.

Terrific microwave . The size is perfect for my needs and is only 2 inches smaller inside than my previous FULL SIZE microwave was.
Same width and depth but 2 inches smaller top to bottom.
Easy to operate AFTER I figured out how to use it. The directions that were included were, for the most part , NOT very helpful.
Love the looks and all functions of this great microwave.

This is a great microwave. This low profile style solved a problem we had with limited space above our stove. We love the look of it as well as the functionality. The fan works really well and the light is LED not halogen like some of the other microwaves we looked at. The controls are easy to use. The only negative is the small size of the inside. Overall we are very happy with this purchase.

This is by far the best microwave I have owned! It has so many useful features. I particularly like : food sensing, multiple mode fan and light level, the welcome and enjoy message ( cute) , low profile, and so many preset food cooking options. It sits beautifully above the range with great space between the two.
Love this black stainless steel material

This microwave is a great addition to the small space we have above our stove. It’s quiet and spacious. It took some getting used to for the button placement but it’s light and fan work well and I highly recommend anyone buying this that has a small space to place it. Installation and placement were also easy.

The slim form factor gives me much more room over the cooktop which makes a huge difference. I have yet to miss the room of a full-sized microwave. It may actually perform better than my previous full-sized microwave.

Purchased this microwave because we did not have enough room for a full size microwave under our cabinets above the stove top. We previously had just a hood vent over the stove top and then a countertop microwave. I wanted to free up some countertop space and get rid of our ugly hood vent. This was the perfect solution. This is the best microwave I have owned and is the perfect size! I think its low profile size makes it really nice to look at and it microwaves everything that we need perfectly. I have not had a problem with trying to microwave something that would not fit in here. The microwave was a little expensive but Whirlpool is the only brand I could find with an over-the-range microwave hood combo in this compact size and in stainless steel. I would definitely buy this again and have no regrets.

I like it. I have a small kitchen and the others would have looked to bulky, this fits great, very sleek with the low profile. I was worried about the cubic space but it is is better than I thought.

It's so nice to have an OTR microwave that fits perfectly! Although I have only had it a few weeks, it works great. Love the fan speeds because it can really draw in the air. Easy to clean and operate.

Had been using LG microwaves for quite a few years. Renovated a tiny house and needed a slim low profile microwave that was very intuitive and easy to use. This unit fits the bill! The touch sensors are very accurate, the sounds of the unit when it notifies you, are very pleasing to the ear. But most importantly, the unit functions beautifully, and seems to heat the perfect cup of coffee in less time than my other microwave. I love the automatic door open feature, which helps when you’re preparing things and may not have a free hand. Highly recommend it.

Low profile met our need. Plenty of room. Quiet. Excellent filters, overhead lights, moisture sensor. Timer buzzer is high pitch and faint, even on Hi setting (I cannot hear it!) Using separate magnetic kitchen timer that meets the need.

I love the compact look of this microwave. It is big enough but not to big. Easy to clean and operate. The price was affordable and was easy to install.

I love the sleek design and how it opens up space in the kitchen ( I have a small kitchen). The only negative is it opens a bit over 90 degrees so the door doesn't swing all the way open like on traditional microwaves. All in all, a great find!

Love this microwave. The low profile is perfect for our needs and we love the way it looks with the Whirlpool range. The fan and light are excellent. Would definitely recommend and purchase again.

We wanted more working space above our oven/cook top and looked at a variety of microwaves and eventually selected this Whirlpool model with a low profile. Excellent choice. Sleek and slim, It has a powerful fan with 3 speeds, also a light with 3 levels of brightness and various cooking options. Unique in its design, it may not be for everyone since it’s height is a bit more narrow, but we use it mainly for heating up and/or reheating meals, snacks and things like soup etc. perfect for our needs. I would recommend this those looking for a low profile microwave to create more space above their oven/cook top.

So glad I found this microwave! The cabinets over my stove were too low for a standard over-the-range microwave. So for years I’ve had a huge countertop microwave taking up lots of room in my small kitchen. This Whirlpool was the perfect solution. I wish they had made it years ago. I don’t know why other manufacturers are not making them. It works great. It has full-size power. And now I have my much-needed counter space!

Even though it took me some time to get use to how it fit over by my range, I love this microwave!!! It’s extremely easy to use and clean. While I like bells and whistles on some products, I realized on a microwave I rarely used them. The few buttons I use, are the only ones conveniently located on the outside. It also has a very modern feel and look to it. I definitely recommend if you want a simple but effective microwave.
