Customer Ratings & Reviews

The microwave is beautiful, works great, and cleans up super easy. I love the simmer/steam and soften/melt option. The only negative is the keypad is hard to read, not enough contrast.

Very elegant over the range microwave, perfect if you don't have a built in vent (has option to use vent or not). Love the sturdy build, and the sleek look as well as being very spacious.

Nice microwave, spaces, quite, good features. Not satisfied with fan ,gives excessive motor noise on med high& low speed.

This is my first Whirlpool product I purchased. I really like the appearance and it works very well. No noise.

When our previous microwave was acting up, we decided that it was a matter of safety to replace it. We did not have extra out-of-budget money to spend on a microwave so looked for something that would be reliable, yet inexpensive. We looked at Craigslist and Best Buy, principally. I was overjoyed to see this microwave as an open box model, so the price was very good. After installing it, we have been very happy with it except that heating food seems to take a little longer than our microwave in a previous house. I do not know the wattage in that one, but it was what our builder had put in (so it must have been bought as a bargain), so I was expecting this one to outperform. What it does not do in power, it makes up in features, though we have not used many of the settings yet. I look forward to seeing what else it can do!

easy to use, easy to clean this is one reason I choose stainless over color, last one was white and hard to keep clean on out side. older one was very noise. the whirlpool is a lot simpler to use and clean compared to the Samsung I replaced . A lot less expensiveness to. again the sales person was very courteous and knowledgeable on the items Item I purchased.

All hesitation that I had is gone. I positively love this microwave. It is super quiet. No more rattling and vibrating. Bacon comes out perfect everytime with the sensor cooking settings. No more cold spots when reheating a dinner plate. I can cook sweet potatoes or an acorn squash in 10 minutes where the traditional way easily took 5 to 6 times as long. Easy to learn - settings are menu driven. Perfect for a busy kitchen. I'm glad I purchased it and am wondering why I waited so long to replace the old one.

Our last one was not upgrades when we upgraded the rest of the kitchen. This one is slightly bigger than our old one but was very easy to install. Was installed by myself. The unit is quite, sleek and has a lot of little features for it size. THe extra rack makes cooking easier when more is needed to be warmed up. Not a 100 big on the display but for the price, I can deal with it. These days you would think you get a sleek looking display and not the squared off look that seems outdated. Overall, I recommend this as it matched perfectly with my other whirlpool items and overall is still a great unit for the size and power.

I researched several microwaves when my LG died after 8 years. I am so glad that I decided on this one. I love how it looks above my stove. My husband liked this one because the door closed quieter. The smart heating technology is great and works well. I have used the reheat feature and the smart cook and have been very happy with both. The only thing I am disappointed with is the sound of the fan. All 4 levels are about the same noise volume. But the microwave itself, is very quiet when it runs. I also like the charm sound when it is finished. It is a different sound then any other microwave I have had. The stove light gives plenty of light. The inside of the microwave is spacious and cleans up easily.

Fan is very loud! I don't like the way the exhaust vents out. There is no space for the fan to properly vent and I believe this wil shorten the life of the microwave!

This microwave is the best on the market. It showed when there were none in stock anywhere near me in any BB stores. I lucked out and got mine due to an online ordering discrepancy. This was easy to install with simple power tools. It heats food evenly and is very quiet. The chime to signal the end of the cooking cycle isn't very loud, but it doesn't bother me much. The exhaust fan could also be a little stronger, but it does its job since we have a secondary built-in exhaust fan in the ceiling anyways. Pretty happy with this one so far.

Bought and installed the Whirlpool Microwave (2 person job when mounting it). The microwave is pretty quiet when operating and has a pleasant melodic alarm sound. Installing was pretty simple though double check the mounting instructions hole alignment sheet against the microwave itself before trying to mount it. Was off about 1/2 inch down on one hole and diagonally on another. Tough to adjust when you're holding the microwave up to screw it in. Looks nice and works well otherwise, replaced a highly rated Samsung microwave that died after 3 years of use!

Best microwave I have ever owned. The WhirlPool sensor microwave oven makes it easy with whatever you might be preparing. Reason being, it takes a lot of the guess work out of cooking. Know how many potatoes, ears of corn and then how much cooking time? The stainless finish outside and easy clean inside makes it easy to keep looking it new. Very happy with my choose.

Very roomy, very quiet. Easy to use. Very easy to clean up. Works wonderful

First time I installed an over the range microwave. This had great instructions which tells you beginning to end what to do and where to mark. The microwave is very easy to use and comes with many options. the stainless steel look is amazing in my kitchen and it is extremely quiet while running. My first Whirlpool appliances and I love them!

Our contractor designed the microwave to be between the refrigerator and the pantry cabinet. Most over the range microwave doors dont accommodate being installed close to a wall or counter deep cabinets as the door needs some room for clearance; not usually a problem for the shallow cabinets that are above the counter on each side of the range. The door to this microwave opens completely clear of our very deep pantry cabinet. The book mentions it needs a few inches clearance for installations beside a wall, but that is for the handle, and the handle in our case is beyond the pantry cabinet. So happy we found this and didn't have to redesign the kitchen. Took a while to find it but it was worth the search.

This isn't a high end microwave but is a good one for the price if you're looking for a basic model. Has most of the standard features. I miss the one touch cook from our old GE microwave (pressing 1 is same as entering 1 minute of cook time and start) but I believe that is more of a GE feature. Runs pretty quiet and seems to heat food well. Also has several settings for popcorn, defrost, etc.

Overall I am very pleased with the unit. It was easy to install and I like the silver easy clean interior. Best Buy was the only retailer in our area that had a unit in stock which was great since my old one just died and other places had waits of up to two weeks. My only two issues are that the front upper panel is a little flimsy and the location of the light underneath. The light is too far back...it illuminates more of the wall and control panel of my stove vs the stove top. My old Whirlpool Gold model had two lights that were on the ends about mid way out and did an excellent job with illuminating the stove. On the plus side, the fan on this model is much quieter than the old unit it replaces.

I was drawn to this particular microwave due to the size and quietness. Once it was installed, it did not disappoint. You have multiple speeds on the fan and more than enough space to heat even the largest bowl of leftovers. As some users have mentioned, the keypad is on the small side, but it is still easy to read and use.

The microwave is nice and quiet. This was very easy to install with a single bracket. It is adjustable to overhead hood or direct vent. It is a 2 person job, but I was quite surprised how easy this was to install and work. It has a lot of option on cooking if you want more than just a standard re-heating microwave.
