Nice Microwave
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We first were looking for a microwave that would declutter our counters and vent outdoors. This was our choice from many we looked at. It has worked perfectly. It functions as we wanted and is a good size for leftovers and popcorn. We contracted our own installer because electricity work is required and Best Buy does not do it. Pleased with our purchase.

Great microwave
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this item to replace an older Whirlpool model from 08. This model is a very solid microwave. The build quality is much better than my older model. This microwave outperforms my previous microwave in every way.

We're hard on microwaves...
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My wife and I microwave the majority of anything hot or warmed that goes into our mouths. Our magnetrons only last 4 or 5 years before they poop out. I looked at smaller, less expensive units, but there were complaints about plastic parts breaking off, like parts of the handle. Our previous Whirlpool had packing tape holding the handle together for many years. This handle feels pretty solid. It's often the little things and make a big impression over time... I was able to use the old wall bracket, but still had to drill new holes in the cabinet above. It's swiss cheese up there. HEY WHIRLPOOL - HOW ABOUT STANDARDIZING THE MOUNTING HOLE LOCATIONS ON THE TOPS OF YOUR MICROWAVES??? This thing feels pretty solid. If I get four years out of it, I'll be happy.

Great microwave with nice features
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is an excellent micro which received very high marks in CR mag. It heats fast, evenly, and has enough features to satisfy a whole host of needs. The ONLY reason I didn't give it a 5-star is that I personally don't like the sound it makes when the food is ready. I would have liked to have a way to choose a different tone. Otherwise a definite "5"!

Nice Overall Microwave
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice overall. Auto Settings tend to overheat some items but are accurate on other items. Very easy to clean compared to last over the range microwave we owned. Price very reasonable for quality.

Does the job, but gets on my nerves a bit.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This microwave heats up our food just fine. I have to say though, that this particular model gets on my nerves, a bit. Our last microwave, which was a different brand, only lasted 15 months. After attempting to fix it 3 times, we had to just bite the bullet again & spend the money on a new one. Though the last one didn't last long, what I did like about our last microwave was that it didn't take rocket science to figure it out. It was easy to use or just took some basic logic. Maybe it's just me, but there seems to be too many steps to accomplish, what should be, easy tasks with this Whirlpool model. What gets on my nerves is that I have to re-open & shut the door in order to make it start & the display would say so. The display would say to open & shut the door, then press start. Sometimes, I would put something inside, but not need to start it up quite yet. When I eventually enter the time & press start, the panel displays that I have to reopen & shut the door again before starting. I never ever had to do that with all the other microwaves I've had in the past. I'm constantly opening & shutting the door now more than I should need to. Also, with other tasks, you have to jump through hoops to get to the final step. I never had these issues before. I would, however, reluctantly, recommend this. It does do the job and cooks & heats up food just fine, once you're done pressing through all the ridiculous steps. Like I said before, it could be just me.

Light in bad spot
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this microwave to replace an LG. I bought this one because reviews said Whirlpool is a reliable brand. My only complaint is the light is in the back of the microwave. It does not light up the stove top very well

Microwave review
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very nice microwave, seems to be easier to keep the interior clean than my older model. User manual could be more elaborate, the "alarm sound" that goes off when cooking or timer is done is much too quiet, easily drowned out by conversation or nearby tv. Light under this model blew out literally the second I turned it on, the replacement only lasted 12 days, somewhat concerned about that as other reviews on other sites have mentioned this issue.

nice microwave!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had this microwave for more than a month and really like it. It is very roomy inside and warms evenly. I do wish it had some of the quick buttons, like pressing '2' for two minutes, but that is just being lazy!
