Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love the sleek look of the low profile stainless steel microwave. Haven’t had any issues and cooking strength is perfect. Many options

Works well so far. The only suggestion is online there were two almost identical versions and the only difference was the location of buttons style. The one I ended up ordering has the buttons for programming before shutting the door and an electronic opening of door versus manually. If there is a way to clarify the differences a bit more because even the compare option wasn’t completely clear. Still happy with choice so far.

We love our new low profile microwave. It's so nice to have it off the counter top!!! Works well! Looks great with our new Whirlpool range.

My husband and I bought this over the stove microwave/vent a hood as a gift for our daughter and son in law. They are pleased with the size of it.

Love it! I love the low profile style it brings. We love the light and the fan helps so much with our gas stove. 11/10 would recommend

Sleek and spacious. Easy to use. Template was right on. Only problem was trying to actually mount the microwave. Was heavy

Great low profile design for my space. Very happy with functions and design

love extra room above cooktop also, deep interior fan and light work well

We love this microwave. It small and slim and gives a different feel to the kitchen. Does stick out past cabinets a little but worth it.

Great appliance. Very sleek. Exactly what we wanted.

Arrived on-time and the installation was a breeze. Watch the installation video from the oem for clarification purposes. I installed it myself so it couldn't be that hard.

Great fit replacing the old hood. Fan is much quieter and 4 speeds. Installation instructions are a little cryptic but you can figure it out.

Didn’t have enough room over the stove for a traditional microwave. This low profile was the perfect solution. In the end how often are you microwaving tall containers?

The install was easy. Works great and saves a ton of room compared to a regular sized microwave.

excellent microwave great design goes well with other stainless steel appliance sleek design takes up less space

It's narrow in height, but big enough to do what you need it to do. The narrowness gives you plenty of room between your stove and the bottom of the microwave.

So far I love it. Purchased to replace over range hood . The exhaust fan works amazing. Microwave works as it should everything I have wanted to put in this low profile microwave fits .. it a little expensive for a microwave but for some reason it is the only manufacturer of a low profile microwave (Whirlpool makes Kitchen Aid) so if you want one it’s your only choice at this point but still cheaper than purchasing new smaller cabinet over range and then purchasing a standard over range microwave.. also great to have additional counter space

I bought this microwave so that we wouldn't have to configure the kitchen cabinets!! We love it! Its slim and sleek!!

Great product. Love it! Perfect size for above the range!

Purchased this to replace a 12 year old Whirlpool combination microwave-convection oven over our range. Went with this model to open up the space above the range which it does nicely, and because it has powerful ventilation fans. We do a lot of Asian cooking - stir fry, etc. so strong ventilation fans to our outside vent is an important feature. While this model certainly works OK as a microwave and a vent, I do have some cons to report: It's microwave heating is not as good our previous unit (also a Whirlpool but much larger size). Heats up liquids and mixed plates of food OK (and quickly) but struggles to heat up a piece of (previously cooked) frozen pizza evenly. Our old unit did a great job of melting and even browning/crisping cheese on top of pasta bowls, chili, etc, this oven struggles to even melt the cheese while the liquid below bubbles furiously. Maybe our old unit was an anomaly but I really miss how it was able to cook cheese on top of dishes. While the vent fans are indeed strong in this unit, the routing of the exhaust through the unit and to the top external outlet is not very good - there are plenty of cracks and corners where the vented air escapes back into the room (pretty strongly), as others have reported. This could definitely be improved in the design - the whole point of this model is to be/act more like a good vent hood and we don't want the smoky/oily exhaust air to be blowing back into the room. I wouldn't say it is terrible - it does a good job venting, but this is an annoying little detail to experience after having purchased it for it's (marketed) venting prowess. There are just a few simple control touch-buttons on the exterior, the numeric entry pad is exposed only when the door is open. I was worried about this initially but find that it's not a problem and I'm happy with the controls design. Others have reported the "I'm done" sound is too quiet on this unit - I actually like that it doesn't blare out so loudly - I don't need my appliances screaming at me. The vent fans on our old unit screamed like jet engines, the fans on this unit have a much less annoying sound/tone which we enjoy. The carousel design is so-so, the 3-wheel spinner device under the carousel plate can easily move out of its tracks leaving the carousel spinning in a tilted precarious manner. A cup of water off-center on the carousel can sometimes cause this to happen. The design could be improved with a slightly larger diameter spinner device and/or one with 4 wheels. All in all we are reasonably satisfied with this microwave but feel it is not quite as top-of-the-line as the purchase price suggests, and hope that Whirlpool can improve some of the design deficiencies in future versions.
