I love the silent mode on the whirpool
Microwave. It’s easy to clean and doesn’t get many finger smudges on them. All my appliances are Frigidaire but I may now buy whirlpool for everything I replace.

Pro: Straight forward controls; not ugly; inexpensive; easily installed; good capacity.
Con: Very basic feature set; looking for a break room; fingerprint magnet; mine only seems to have one output intensity and regulates by timing power to the tube.
We bought our Whirlpool for around $200 on sale; it replaced an LG unit that we purchased at the same price that lasted less than 3 years. (Wasteful)
The Whirlpool had the same control panel as I have seen in inexpensive countertop units for years. There is a number pad with quick settings (1 for one minute, 2 for two minutes, etc) or a button you press for finer control of the time and power: you can set time to the second. Power settings simply run the emitter tube all the time or a fraction of the time - but always at full power. Just like 20 years ago. It works - sort of - but at this price more nuance may mean less dependability.
Speaking of power, our prior unit was rated for the same output but seemed to heat about 10% faster than the Whirlpool - not a big deal in our case. Oh, and no temperature probe here but we never used probes on our LG.
Our feeling is the size of the oven chamber is large enough for a medium sized turkey or ham based upon our pans.
We use ours extractor in the recirculator configuration and it works well enough for us, though replacing air filters is a bit of a waste.
It looks good in its setting and I don’t regret the choice - so far.

Got this microwave and installed it ourselves. We like this because it was rear venting to vent through the wall and acts like a cooking hood to take the smoky stuff outside instead of in the kitchen. This replaces a 19 year old of the same size and brand solely for the wall venting features. The new one does cook much faster than the previous one, of course, its new. We love it.

Wanted a white microwave to match the other appliances. Was a little spoiled because our last microwave lasted 13 years. We picked this out and really like it so far. We like the dark interior. No issues so far. Here’s hoping for 13 more years!

Easy to install and works great… we replaced one by another brand that failed prematurely
I would recommend this to a friend

This microwave was purchased as a replacement for an older model in a rental property. IT looks fantastic with the other appliances and has a good amount of functionality. It cooks various foods well and is very easy to keep clean.

I am very happy with my purchase. I installed it myself. The air blower was very easy to modify for ventilating upward. My last whirlpool was purchased in 2009. I am very happy with this current update.
