Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was so glad to have found this as a solution to not a lot of height between top of stove and bottom of cabinets above the stove. I had it professionally installed by an electrician. Great power. Heats quickly and perfectly. Exhaust fan recirculates it above (at the top of the microwave) efficiently. The vent fan is louder than I wish, even on low. The buggiest “issue” that bothers me is how HOT the light gets. When I turn on the light that shines down on the stovetop, it gets super hot within 15 minutes. Once I left it on for an hour or two on low light and it even made the inside of the microwave hot to the touch. It almost burned my hand when I went to feel the bottom, confused why it was hot when I wasn’t microwaving anything. I meant to call whirlpool and ask them. I definitely never leave the microwave light on when I’m not at home or over night. That (and the loud-ish vent fan) are the only cons.

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.

Bought this half a year ago, has been wonderful. Great space saver without sacrificing internal microwavable area. Easy to maintain. Would buy again, if ever needed.

Due to Covid 19, this was a online order with curb side pickup for open box microwave noted excellent condition but had a dent at top big enough to affect side. Had to get creative to hide, microwave works great. Newark Mgr worked with with us to resolve issue with another online microwave purchase not from his store or market. The issue regarded open box display microwave that was also curbside pickup. Not noted as display online, but mention was in excellent condition and it was. A few days later realized missing wall bracket. Informed Cincinnati store and they were willing to order missing wall bracket but due to Covid 19 didn't know how long it would take to get it and we would have to come there to pick it up. Let them know it was nearly 100 miles away and they suggested return to closer store. Thank you Newark Mgr for your 5 star customer service.

The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 was the template for the mounting holes in the cabinet was not included. Unfortunately this caused me to have to drill one of the holes again. But I really like the space saving feature offered by this unit. Works great and looks great with our new stove.

I was a bit scared to get a small microwave but after few weeks I realized that you never really need more space than that. Smart features and very nice looking.

Works great. Easy to clean up and use. Only difficulty is the turntable rack inside is sometimes difficult to use as the base ring it sits on is triangular and will occasionally shift off it thereby spilling food if bowl is slightly too full. The outside finish is not stain resistant but it is easy to clean when done on a regular basis. Definitely a must try for small kitchens with little storage space for a full size microwave and just needing to warm up light items and ventilation through the hood when cooking over the stove. I would like the light fixture to have had a wider range when projecting onto the stove but still bright and adequate enough for use.

I get so many compliments on this microwave, i wouldn't be able to have built in if it was not for the low profile. Thank you Whirlpool for completing my kitchen.

We bought this because we are tall and did not want a microwave obstructing the view of what we were cooking. Also we had trim at the base of our upper cabinets and a regular microwave would have hit it. This microwave is pretty basic but works really well. Fan is decent.

Has provided trouble free service over the first year of use. Great replacement for the range hood and gave back a huge amount of work surface occupied by the previous microwave. Accepts large plates with ease. The concealed controls (behind the door) give it the clean look. It is deeper than the wall cabinet (of course) so initially, the working geometry of the range top is different than the $99 over the range hood but that adjustment takes about a week. I can't wait for the LED lights to fail so I can replace them with brighter ones. It will be a long wait!

replaced a full size microwave. we love this unit. it performs all the duties of the previous unit and allows for more space above the range below.

Love the slim profile on this one! Works as well as any larger Microwave and makes room for the taller soup pots on the stove.

we were gonna get the full-size microwave until the sales associate pointed out that there was a minimum distance that had to be between the microwave and oven top. we got this one and its perfect. saved some counter space and works as advertised.

This microwave is slim but has plenty of room inside for anything you want to heat. It looks great above my stainless stove. It does extend beyond the depth of the cabinet but still looks good.

Slim full feature microwave. I replaced a simple range hood with this slim microwave and it works perfectly! It has more interior room than expected and I have yet to find an item too large for it. Highly recommend.

I bought this unit a few weeks ago because my old conventional over-the-stove microwave died on thanksgiving day. I believe it died primarily because so much heat had been generated from the oven and stovetop. I chose this unit so that I would have more working room above the stove and hopefully the heat will not affect it as much. So far I am very pleased with my purchase. It’s very quiet, the controls are simple, it works well and looks nice. Obviously you won’t have as much height inside but that hasn’t been a problem for us. Keep in mind that if you’re replacing a larger unit you’ll need to repair the 6 inches or so of wall below the new unit.

My kitchen is small so needed a compact over the stove microwave. This may be compact but has all the functions of a full-size. Heats up very good!!!

Whirlpool done a nice job with the design. We haven’t had time to do sensor cooking yet but sure it will be great. The ability to use your elbow is a handy feature.

Have only cooked with the appliance a few times so I am still learning how to enter commands. The manufacturer, not the retail store, has made the control panel a little more complcated than needed in my opinion. Overall, Iam very pleased.

Excellent product for my small kitchen. Fits in the space of my over the stove exhaust fan. Easy to clean, operate and heats leftovers very well. Product is recommended
