Very modern looking stainless steel microwave & love the non-stick interior! Love that it is so easy to use!

I have had this installed for a couple weeks now. It was a replacement for another Whirlpool Over-The-Range microwave. The upside is that it was that as far as mounting it went, it was the exact same as the 10-year-old model it replaced. All of the microwave functions are similar and the unit itself probably weighed half as much as the old one so getting it up and mounted was easier. The downside is that this is a slightly lower grade model than the one it replaced because it does not have the connection bake function the previous one had. That should explain most of the weight difference between the two. Thus far the microwave works well so I have no complaints. The install was easy and the microwave does everything it should in about the same timeframe as the unit it replaced.

We replaced all the appliances in our kitchen a few months ago and the final piece was the microwave. I found this while doing an online search and stopped by my local Best Buy to check it out. We don’t do a lot of microwave cooking but this is a large microwave, standard size on the exterior however the interior is designed to utilize as much space as possible for large items, I mean a mid size turkey would fit in this bad boy. The second thing I noticed was how quit the door closed, might seem minor but that bang latch of others we’ve owned is annoying. The controls consisted of what we normally use with the multi light and fan settings and seemed like a good fit. When I got home I did my last reviews and sent this to my cart on the website. Little did I know that because I’ve been a loyal BB consumer my membership priced kicked in and we got another hundred and change off! Wow that was a pleasant surprise and better yet when I installed it it performed outstanding and is one of the most quite microwaves we’ve ever owned.

Works great, user friendly, and cleans nicely. Looks nice and matches with the other Whirlpool appliances that I have. Great product for the price.

This OTR microwave works fine but is not as powerful as my previous Samsung 1000 watt OTR, The installation was subpar. I asked the installer to vent the microwave upward (like the old one he removed) and then I would connect the vent pipes to the unit. Instead he installed it for internal venting and did not leave me the damper that came with the unit. We checked the microwave operations but I did not climb up to see if the vent damper was installed. Now, I tried to call Geek Squad and could not find anyone who can do anything for me other than schedule a tech to come out and look at it. Of course, he will then have to order the damper and there be another visit. Pretty frustrating.

We absolutely love this OTR Whirlpool Microwave. It's attractive with just the right amount of bells and whistles. The controls are easy to use; it's easy to clean. We've had it for 10 months and it has worked like a champ the entire time. (MUCH better than the GE it replaced--which kept blowing fuses in the door). Highly recommend.

Have had this unit for about a month now, it was a replacement for our 10 year old Ikea model (also made by Whirlpool but no longer available at Ikea) that had sensors failing and would no longer turn on and it was an exact fit for the space, didn't even have to install a new bracket, used the old one that was already on the wall. It is a significant upgrade from the previous version of this model, has many more auto cook settings and the best part is the beep at the end is actually pleasant sounding rather than the annoying loud beep of the previous model. Hoping it lasts at least 10 more years.

We replaced our old microwave with one with the same features because we were satisfied with it. The microwave has all the features that we need and use for the type of cooking we do.

We bought this microwave to replace a slightly older model that stopped working. The wall brackets were compatible so installation was a snap. It works great and has plenty of features without being confusing.

This Whirlpool over-range microwave is functionally superior to our previous one. The construction, keypad sensitivity, and cooking options are excellent. I also like the gentle alarms in place of the one that was tremendously piercing and overly repetitive, like my old microwave was constantly yelling at me!

I purchased this microwave today to replace a failed 9 year old GE microwave that started actively microwaving with the door open. Yikes! The Whirlpool microwave install went relatively smooth, with the exception that some of the measurements for the screw holes were listed in 1/3rd and 1/6th of an inch increments. A tape measure that measures in 1/3 of an inch is pretty rare in the U.S.A. Once the microwave was installed, I plugged it in. Disappointment number one: The display is annoyingly blue with a blue background and the display size is also on the smaller size. Due to the other issues I had, I never made it so far as to see if I could disable the blue backlight. I put a 20 oz. mug of water in the microwave. Disappointment number two: The rotating glass carousel is only 12 inches (113.1 square inches of area), which seems TINY inside of a 1.9 cubic foot microwave. My old carousel is 14.25 inches, or 159.48 square inches. The new Whirlpool carousel is 41% smaller. Think medium pizza vs. large pizza smaller. I had just assumed that a microwave with the same 1.9 cubic feet of space (matching my old GE) would have the same size carousel, but I was mistaken. Later I checked the Best Buy website and while GE does list the carousel size of their modern 1.9 cubic foot microwave as 14.25 inches diameter. Whirlpool does not list the carousel size for this particular microwave. It's 12 inches. I pressed the express 3 button to instantly start the microwave on high power for three minutes. It started running as expected. Disappointment three: The light inside the microwave is not very bright and the door is highly reflective so I could barely see my mug spinning on the carousel. If I were trying to melt some cheese or butter, I would not be able to see the melting unless I turned off all the kitchen lights or put my face to the door with both hands shielding the outside lights. Yes, the interior light is that dim. I could have lived with the disappointments given the price point, but now comes the DOA (dead-on-arrival) part of my story. After three minutes of running, the water in my mug was just as cold as when I started. Nothing about the operation seemed unusual or out of place; all the noises sounded like normal microwave noises (blower fan noise and magnetron hum) and the clock timer worked as expected. It just didn't heat the water at all. I checked the instructions and made sure it was not in "DEMO" mode. I even went so far as to turn "DEMO" mode "ON" and verified the display said DEMO. I toggled "DEMO" mode back "OFF" (demo no longer showed) and tried again with a small 6" tortilla on a plate. Normally it would take 10-15 seconds to heat and swell the tortilla. Thirty seconds later it was still cold. I unplugged the microwave and plugged it back in, set the clock, and tried again with the tortilla. Nope, it just doesn't heat what-so-ever. So it's going back to Best Buy and I'll look at another brand. I'm a bit upset that I put new holes in the cabinet and the wall to mount this microwave only to end up with a dead on arrival machine, nevermind the other listed disappointments. If you're buying a microwave, be SURE to read the specifications to check for carousel size if that's important to you, and perhaps even test the microwave BEFORE you mount it to the wall.

This microwave will take the place of my old whirlpool microwave. If I get the same service that I got from my old microwave I'll be very happy. This one looks nice works well. Time will tell about the longevity

Replacing an 8 year old “1.0” version of this microwave was easy and the “2.0” feature improvements of this appliance are wonderful. Modern design, larger interior capacity, improved convenience buttons and alerts are excellent. We now have Maytag dishwasher, microwave, washer and dryer. Each are equally impressive.

I love what the inside of this microwave. If I get food particles inside it is so easy to wipe up. I like the biggest of it and the grill that they have. When I put two different item in on top of grill and on the bottom it does great. All of my food cooks even as well. It cook what the timer suggested. The services guys that put this up were very nice men and they were very fast and the cleaned up after putting product in.

Great microwave, looks good, easy to install, cleans up easy and easy to operate

A lot bigger than my old one and has a lot more functions and upgrades that my old one did not.

When we bought our new house 8 years ago, it had a Whirlpool microwave. So, when it went out it was easy to reinstall the same brand and model. It works great.

attractive; works well; easy to use; a very good price
