Perfect Low Profile 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 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!

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!

Short Over-the-Range Microwave

We had an earlier version of Over-the-Range Microwave, which gave out. Unfortunately there is no product that matches the height of our original microwave. All the other over-the-range Microwaves were too tall to fit in our space. This one is shorter than original so our only choice. It left a significant wall gap that we needed to fill, but functionally works great in smaller space.

The only one that fits in the hood, The microwave is super quiet and good at heating. Hood is amazing if you don’t have vents as the carbon filter takes all the smell away. It’s noisy but less than my old hood, at low it’s very quiet. The led light could be improved

Bought this due to limited heat room above the stove. Pretty expensive but it does a great job. No complaints here. The slimmer design hasn't gotten in the way of anything yet.

This unit is very modern and good-looking. It fits our needs perfectly as the microwave it replaces was too large for the space above the stove and hung down lower than the cabinet opening.
It works well and the built in light and fan are adequate.
The one thing missing is that there is no clear button. So, if you put in a 30 second time and you pull out the food earlier, there is no way to stop the unit until it completes the designated time that was input.

This is a short microwave to fit under the cabinets and above the range top. I love it because it does not intrude into the cooking area on the range and the cooking LEDs really light up the range top. It is a full power 1000 watts which is the same as my old counter top unit. It looks good too. The cook sensor works really well to not let your food burn.

Installation was straight forward and the oven works very well as does the fan. It is a nice looking addition to the kitchen replacing a 40 year old hood. The stainless finish matches the smudge free stainless from a Fridgedaire oven we had bought earlier which is a bonus. Overall, great product.

We got our floor raised about 1.5 inches in our kitchen. We didn't want the space between our range and micorwave to look so cramped. This was an excellent option. Not only is this microwave not the normal size but it also has great tech packed in a small package. It has food sensing tech to automatically cook food. It also has a touch open door sensor. It was a really simple install as well.

Nice slim design. Works great. However, the company that Best Buy used for installation is no good. I would hire someone you know is skilled to install it. They tried to discard some parts and left the vent loosely attached. I had to redo the installation. Great Microwave but Best Buy installation is not recommended.
