Love the fact that the fan turns on when excessive heat is detected. It still startles me for a second. It’s not loud but I’m just not expecting it. Heats quickly. We must have been in the microwave dark ages! What took our old one 35 seconds to heat only takes 25 in the new microwave.

This is my second buy of this Whirlpool over the range microwave oven. I love its simplicity and user friendly panel. The inside design of the microwave is the best since it’s so easy to clean. Nothing that is obstructive when wiping it down. It even matches beautifully with my GE stove.

Works well and has lots of features. One thing I particularly like about it is that there’s not a lot of nooks and crannies so it’s easy to keep clean. The beeping stops when you open the door, which I really appreciate because my last microwave kept beeping even when I was taking the food out. My only wish there was a way to turn off the beeping completely.

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.

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’ve been using the Whirlpool microwave for a while now, and overall, I’m very pleased with its performance. It heats food quickly and evenly, and the preset options are convenient for everyday cooking tasks. The design is sleek and fits nicely in my kitchen. The controls are intuitive and easy to use, which is a plus. So far, it has been reliable and meets my expectations. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a solid, efficient microwave!

I love this microwave. It’s so much better than my old one. I had GE and I didn’t like it. It was just piece of trash waste of money on the other one, but I like whirlpool lines. They’re really great and the last long time.

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.

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

Ordered online and was able to pick-up in 30-45 mts,it was on sale and got a good deal of the day offer.
Easy to use and simpler options, metalic outer body looks good,but is not finger print resistant-but you get what you paid for.

I was very pleased with the help I received at Best Buy while I was purchasing my microwave. The salesman was very knowledgeable and helped me get the “best buy” for my money. As far as the microwave it works great and D&G Services that installed it did a great job on the installation.

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.

I was happy to have chosen this microwave as it has been very consistent with cooking and it looks great doing it. Easy and straightforward controls resulted in easy set up
