We are very impressed with this low profile microwave duo overhead vent from Whirlpool. The microwave is fantastic with all its features and warming/cooking functionality and the space capacity to fit food inside it. The sleekness of the design also was the icing on cake as it really saved us space and improved the look of our kitchen.
PS - I bought this online with o en and the service BB provided was exceeded our expectations- they were top notch installation and their customer service of notifications was high service- they made sure to book appointment, availability for our needs and the mobile text notifications for appointment and arrival of tech was awesome - we never had to call them!

Looks really nice (Modern) and I love the way it opens. I was worried that it would be too small but I haven't had any problems using it. I also love the tone when the food its ready.

I love it that it allows more space above the stove. It's also very nice looking and the smaller size hasn't been a problem. So glad we changed out the old bigger one to this one. I gave it only 4 stars bc the plastic covering the numbers started to wrinkle/come off a few weeks after we started using it. It's not a big deal bc the door covers the number pad so it still looks very nice.

Just had to have one the first time I saw it.
Had to get the 5 series because the 7 did not come in plain Stainless Steel. Would have preferred the 7 series because of the LED lighting and advanced functions. But the 5 performs perfectly as a microwave and range hood.
The fragile comment is because it took 4 microwaves before we got one that was not damaged in shipping. It only takes one drop to distort the case. Even the one shipped UPS was in great packaging and no oblivious damage only to open it up to find the right side dented. Another one snapped off the installation nut inside the top of the unit. Yep... #4 from the distribution center was fine!
Best Buy was awesome!!! They never batted an eye when I returned unit after unit after unit! The did their best to make me happy with a undamaged unit.

It works good. The thing is you have to have the door open to access the key pad. The fan, light, start, stop and add 30 seconds on the door. Everything else you have to have the door open to use. It makes for a very clean look but, kind of a pain in the “you know what” to use.

Love this microwave. Very high tech and super sleek. The open button is freaking awesome! Buttons are a little smaller and on the inside so gotta get use to that setup. Leaves plenty of space over stove.

I like how this gives me more wall space. The design is sleek, even the inside with a stainless steel color and a fun Diamond texture on the back wall. I like that you don’t have to yank on a handle to open this, you just push a touch button and the door opens. The only thing I don’t like is that the vent fan is really noisy. It was also difficult to install as the holes on the top of the microwave did not line up with the holes in the top cabinet from our previous whirlpool microwave. It does stick out further than our last microwave, but isn’t an issue so far

Two years go we started replacing the kitchen appliances. First was the fridge and the dishwasher. Then we tried to replace the microwave with no luck. We even bought a nice Samsung unit that I installed my self. The problem is that the range and microwave are in a corner so when I tried to open the microwave door the edge of the door hit the wall. Boomer. Finally we found this Whirlpool microwave which fits perfectly and I can open the door with no problems. Now talking about the microwave features it’s a microwave. Heats my food like any other. The only con I think could be for some is that is tall enough to fit a 16 Oz coffee tumbler but not a turkey.

We love the look of the low profile. It’s only been a month, but works great so far. Easy to use, built in fan works great!

This is the greatest microwave that I’ve owned in a very long time. My cabinet sit low because of a vent that runs above the cabinets. A regular sized microwave would sit lower then the cabinets making it much closer to the stove. When I did some research I came across this microwave. I was a little nervous about getting it because of the height limiting the amount of things you can put into it. I’ve had it now for almost two weeks and I have to say it is the best decision I made when it came to buying a microwave. Just renovated my kitchen and it looks great being one of the eye catching pieces. I’ve used it almost every day and it’s fast and easy to use. The fan has three settings hi, med, low. The light has two setting hi and low. It has a button to open it and when it’s done heating something up it has a nice chime that rings instead of the usual loud noises that microwaves make. The price is definitely on the higher end but at the end of the day it’s definitely worth it. Coincidentally I bought a stove from the same brand and it looks like I purposely got a package brand set. I love the brand whirlpool.

I love this microwave, I needed one that was not as tall Due to the shorter space over my stove (house built in the 80's) this gives me so much room to cook than the standard size microvaves, and it is so quite when it is heating up my food. the exhaust fan is a little noisey but it does what it is supposed to do!! I will be purchasing one for my sone for Christmas for his home.

I was trying to find a sleek and modern range fan, but was about to give up when I saw this. I didn't even know they made these, and I am so glad I got one. Everyone that sees my kitchen is amazed by the look of the low profile microwave. It does stick out slightly more than a regular microwave, but it is unobtrusive. My favorite feature is the "touch to open" button. You just lightly tap the button and the door pops open, it's a really nice feature. The fan feature works well and have had no issues with overheating or anything of the sort. Installation was very easy.

Don't buy Whirlpool

It died within 8 months and whirlpool warranty is ridiculous to deal with to get someone out here. I am going on a month with a dead microwave that is 9 months. Best Buy Service Plan on it won't kick in until it is past manufacture warranty or I would have had this resolved already through them. By the way, my Whirlpool refrigerator, which is a 2019 model, condensor died the week before the microwave and all other appliances, non Whirlpool working just fine so no mechanical issues stemming from my electrical in case you are wondering and Best Buy installed the microwave for me, not refrigerator because it was here when I purchased my home about a year and a half ago. I replaced it with a Samsung when Best Buy gave me the choice between the same Whirlpool and the Samsung.

I love this microwave. The low profile gives you lots of room over the stove and it is well thought out. The start button automatically gives you 30 seconds of time which is great for warming up most things. The light on the clock is not so bright that it lights up your kitchen like the Las Vegas strip which is a plus. The only minus I have is that there is no indicator light for the button to turn on the microwave lights over the stove so when the kitchen is dark in the morning I keep hitting the fan button by mistake

This appliance was a long-time coming!
When remodeling my kitchen I replaced a vent-only hood to regain counter space lost to a freestanding microwave but I didn't want to lose vertical space above my range or have to replace a lot of cabinetry.
This microwave/hood was the perfect solution. It fits nicely above my Whirlpool range/oven and I've yet to find a dish that needs a "full size" microwave. The photo attached to this review shows the microwave door open with a 1 quart liquid measuring cup inside.
I had several friends over for a housewarming and this appliance ended up getting the most conversation--a couple renovating a rental property already purchased one.
Since this unit is set up for non-vented use (it can be adjusted for top or rear vented applications), I did purchase carbon filter material to replace the initial filter material behind the metal vent intake grilles.
I did have some trouble getting used to setting the time/power before closing the door and was disappointed this model does not allow for a 24-hour clock display (My Whirlpool range has this feature).
I would likely not recommend this for shorter people or those with difficulty raising their arms (same would apply for any over-the-range microwave).
