The WMH31017HB 1.7 CU FT, 1000 is a good microwave for thawing, warming and cooking food. The machine has on the inside of the door, instructions for thawing, warming and cooking foods that make it easy to use without having to use a instruction manual every time you use the machine. The buttons you must push firmly for them to work. The tones that the microwave makes are annoying. The machine is loud while it’s running.

Clean, easy to operate. Looks good. I love that it matches my Whirlpool gas range.

I’ve had this microwave for almost 2 years now. Had to replace my old whirlpool that lasted 10 years. Works great and matches the esthetics of my kitchen. Hopefully it’ll be another 10+ years before it has to be replaced.

Simple installation with perfect fit. Not “top of the line” but works very well.

Easy to install. Heats food evenly. However, door closes very loudly and could be more gentle on closing. Fans two settings are good, outside light is a bit dim but still good. Plenty of different settings for heating.

I just purchased this Whirlpool microwave and it’s a very nice unit. Just installed it yesterday and it looks great. I would highly recommend this unit and for the price you can’t beat it. Thanks Dave

Template hole didn’t align with the hole on top of the microwave making installation a challenge but other than that great performance and looks nice

Replaced a GE profile microwave that lasted 15 years. Installed fairly easily, although a bit taller than most other over the range units. Has to trim back our backsplash to get the free space needed. Other than that, no complaints.

It has all the features we wanted in a microwave. A turntable. Plenty of power for home use. As an above cooktop microwave it required installation. Although we replaced a 12 year old microwave made of the same brand the existing bracket and cabinet holes were not compatible. Installing the new bracket was not difficult. Although templates for the hole cutting are provided I used a tape measure to figure out bracket placement. Once secured my son and I lifted the microwave into place. You have to tip it up. While doing that I had my son hold the appliance just a bit forward and marked the position of the screw holes. I then measured the distance into the cabinet for the holes. We took the oven out for a moment. I drilled. Put the oven back. The screws found their mark immediately. I found the top template difficult to use.

Nice Updated Modern Design Easy to Clean Lower Watts. Lower Wattage than my previous Whirlpool Gold microwave. That one heated up things faster. I believe that was 1100 or more Watts, this one is a 1000 one, which makes a big difference. Although I tried to check, even the more expensive Whirlpool microwaves have the same Wattage nowadays. I got this because my last one was installed by the builder lasted 15 years, actually it was still working, but it was falling apart cosmetically. That one (Whirlpool Gold) had features or button layout like the one that sells for $369. I actually never used those extra features or buttons anyway. I’m impressed by the Whirlpool longevity. I say this one easier to clean because this one doesn’t have the grill outside like my last one. See my image below. I got the Total Tech, they did a good job installing. Separate story, I received the microwave with a slight dent, when they opened it. Even they were a bit surprised because they opened the box in front of me. I bought this brand new, not as an open box or anything. Overall I’m happy with the product. I wish I asked them to compensate by giving some small percentage off for the dent. Over all a good microwave, looks pretty LOL.

Like the stainless steel look in my kitchen. the microwave looks bigger than I thought it’s simple to use and it works great.

I like this product, it’s larger then my last one I didn’t think it was going to fit. The fit is perfect! And easy to use too

So much better quality than the GE one we had before. It is very easy to use and it seems to work faster and more evenly.

Wish it would have a smart mode where you push a number and that's how long it cools for. Seems a little lower quality from what we had but everything seems to function.

I had such a hard time finding the Whirlpool brand replacement for my over the stove microwave in 'biscuit' color to match the other three existing Whirlpool appliances in my kitchen. But I happened to find this one and the only noticable difference is the updated logo. The fraction of differences on dimensions was negligible, it slid right in place! The mounting brackets were different and the top cabinet holes were moved but it didn't make installation any harder. It plugged right in and works like a charm! I am so happy with the products quality and the price!

I had a very similar model to this that after 10 years finally broke down. I purchased this model to replace the old one so that it would fit on the same brackets. It was fairly easy to install because the sizing was the same as our old one. For an inexpensive microwave it is very reliable. The only thing I don't particularly like is the sound that the fan vent makes when the microwave turns on and off. It is a metallic type of rattle. The only other thing that I don't particularly like is the siding is not flat. A portion of our kitchen shows one side of the microwave and it has indentations in the metal siding. I believe this is better for kitchens that have cabinets on either side of the microwave.
