Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

I've been using the microwave for approximately a month. I am pleased with the performance, it is very quiet and user friendly.

Whirlpool - 1.1 Cu. Ft. Low Profile Over-the-Range Microwave looks nice. We have a low cabinet over the range and this low profile unit make it much easier to cook. Works well and I like the Sense cooking for vegetables frozen or fresh. Seems to be well made and is plenty big as long as what your cooking isn't very tall. Has space for a cup of coffee or large dinner dish. Previous plastic microwaves have cracked the door and handle. I think this stainless steel door will hold up.

Great microwave + latest tech + quiet + lots of sound, menu options + fast & powerful + very chic + quite compact - expensive

I have standard kitchen cabinets and a high output gas range so I was concerned that a standard size microwave was going to be too close for comfort above the flames. Plus, I cook a lot and use taller cooking pots and wanted the extra clearance between the top of my range and the bottom of my microwave. I was considering raising the cabinets but did not want to do that if not necessary. I ran across this low profile microwave and have to say I am glad I did. It fits perfectly above my range and the bottom of the microwave is now 22" above the flames (versus the 15" +/- clearance before.) I have all the space I was looking for and more, I am 6' 1" in height and can easily see all the burners on the range without having to bend down to look under the microwave. Plus, have you ever noticed all of the wasted space in a standard microwave? Whirlpool has figured out how to eliminate the wasted space by fitting all of the necessary components in a microwave that is not as tall (measured from bottom to top) as a standard unit. Everything I have ever fit in a standard OTR microwave fits in this one perfectly. Dinner plates, tall and short glassware, etc fit with no problem. I highly recommend this low profile microwave and would buy it again without question.

The microwave is even more gorgeous than I had imagined. I got the black stainless to match my other appliances and it's a perfect match. I love the quiet controls, the little reminder messages, the lights and the exhaust fan. Although expensive, it is one of the best investments that I've ever made. It cooks evenly and quietly, it's easy to clean and it also freed up a lot of counter space.

This is one of the nest microwave I ever seen. It is very compact powerful and delivers great performance.

We had limited clearance with the way our current kitchen is configured. We didn't think we could do an over the stove microwave until we found this model. It is perfect. We rarely use our microwave for anything other than to warm up leftovers or a mug of water. Everything fits perfectly. It has tons of settings. It looks nice and sleek with a matching stove. We love it. Other than being more pricey than other, standard microwaves, we love it

This microwave is just what we needed! I love that it is not big and bulky and we still have plenty of room to cook on the stove. The color is perfect and matches our other appliances beautifully. It cooks/warms food evenly. It does seem to take a bit longer than our old counter top microwave, but it doesn't have the same hot spots that we previously had. I would buy this over and over again! Love it!

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.

This microwave is perfect for us! Plenty of room for all the foods we heat and defrost. It was easy for my husband and I to install. The template is a part of the support panel which was really nice. All the holes lined up perfectly and it was easy to use the wall anchors on the one side we didn't have a stud. I like the look and the functionality of this microwave and would definitely recommend it.

Very nice low profile microwave. Easy to use. Very quiet. Nice features. Plenty of room inside for a low profile style microwave hood combination. I like the no fingerprint surface on the front of microwave. Strong 4 speed ventilation fan circulates cooking steam and odors from stove located below microwave. Under hood light shows plenty of light over cooking stove. Definitely would buy again.

Solidly designed, outstanding performance and it looks great above our cooktop. This microwave exceeds ALL of our expectations. It's modern in terms of features, installed with ease, is super quiet and has all the functions we require. Kudos to the Whirlpool engineers for executing such a phenomenal product. The black stainless is a very close match to our GE dishwasher and built-in oven and our Samsung refrigerator. This is a excellent product. Highly recommended if you need a hood/microwave combination that is quality throughout and available at a good price. Don't let the compact size fool you.

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 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.

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.

Excellent size nice for small kitchen and beautiful, I Love ❤️
