Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love the streamline look of this microwave, and the fact that it frees up space above my cooking surface. Occasionally it takes multiple tries for a button push to register, but this might be an issue of acquiring technique. Overall, very happy with this purchase!

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!

Shopped this microwave oven and it had a long lead time at obvious retailers. Amazon did not offer this brand as well. Best Buy located it (immediately available) at its warehouse! And I have the Best Buy membership for replacement warranty as well.

We replaced our large, older unit with this microwave. I love the low profile - it opens up so much more height above the stove below! The front of the microwave is sleek and easy to clean. I don't mind that the depth of the microwave sticks out from the face of our cabinets a couple of inches more than our old microwave. I like that the buttons are concealed inside the door. Installation was a bit tricky and we ended up moving the oven out from the wall in order to get enough of an angle required when mounting the new microwave. Fortunately, we only had to do that once! Highly recommend!

This Oven meet expectations. Installation (replacing a range hood about one month ago) was not difficult. Once installed the unit performed as expected. The "sensor cooking" feature is amazing. Fresh veggies, bacon, soups and others foods are cooked or reheated to near perfection IMO. The exhaust fan is slightly noisy but tolerable. Was hoping that the LED light over the range would be much brighter. Overall a good product.

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

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.

this microwave is a great idea. i bought it for the low profile. it works well and is very powerful. i would buy it again. my two detractions are: !) the controls are behind the door which is not convenient 2) the price is really high

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!

This over the range was a beautiful surprise! My husband showed this one for our home and I thought it would be too tech but it was just the right amount of tech. Super simple to learn how to use and love how it doesn't get dirty when I cook. It's the right height for our kitchen. Highly recommend.

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.

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'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.

I was in need of a shallow microwave for over my stove as I don't have traditional cabinets and didn't want to modify them. This microwave looks nice, works well, and I get compliments on it often. It also has an electronic door release which is pretty neat!

Enjoying my my microwave the service was great on time the installer can and did his work quickly. Frank at the Owings Mills Best buy made my purchase very easy advice me on particular item and I did not hesitate in purchasing it right there and then thank you Best Buy. It seems like your service at this store has raised the bar.

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.

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

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.
