Whirlpool - 1.1 Cu. Ft. Low Profile Over-the-Range Microwave Hood Combination - Black

This is perfect for those that have a range hood, but would rather have an over the range microwave. The cabinet above my range was 18” tall which did not allow for an OTR microwave because the bottom would be too close to the cooktop. This OTR microwave was perfect because it’s only 10-1/4” tall. So after the install, I have 19-1/8” to the bottom of the microwave which is plenty of space. The install was easy. The mounting bracket also doubles as a template for the holes that need to be drilled into the cabinet. This is much easier and faster than trying to deal with paper templates that come with other OTR microwaves. The hardest part was adding an outlet for the microwave to plug into.....and that’s not really hard at all! The microwave is very quiet, but yet powerful. The 3 speed fan is also quiet and powerful. There is also an LED light that shines on the cooktop. This microwave is sleek in design, but very roomy on the inside. I can put a 6” tall bowl in it with no trouble. It has a feature that lets one turn off the turntable that will let one put a 13x9 dish in it with ease. I can not speak for it’s longevity as I have only had it for a few days. I am very happy I made this purchase.

Overall decent buying experience with best buy. However you could do without the mask police at the front door. The low profile whirlpool microwave we purchased works well for the space. Looks sleek a little pricey for a microwave but that seems to be the way with low profile. Has some cool features like the touch screen is like your phone you don't have to use pressure. To open you lightly touch and " bink" it pops open ...kinda cool ..heats food good and easy to dyi install!

This low profile whirlpool microwave is a must have for every kitchen. The sleek and modern low profile design, is the perfect appliance for any kitchen . It doesn’t take up a lot of space, is as powerful as a full sized microwave and allows enough clearance above the range so you can cook with ease, even when using taller pots on your stove . If your into minimalism, then this is the microwave for you . I selected the white low profile microwave, because I’m into the retro / classic kitchen design. I find that white appliances give a kitchen a clean, neat and welcoming kitchen vibe. The kitchen is said to be the heart of the home. So, it’s imperative that you select appliances that will enhance your cooking experience, while making lasting memories preparing meals for family and friends . #whirlpool low profile microwave- great buy with great features.

This is the best microwave I’ve ever owned. First the fan is wonderful. I forget to put it on and I will see so much steam and the fan takes it way so quickly. The microwave itself works wonderful always. The look is beautiful I get so many compliments. I renovated my kitchen and wanted a modern look. I’m going to do over another condo and will be buying this same microwave. It’s absolutely worth the money

Very unique product, as far as I know Whirlpool is the only manufacturer making the Low Profile over the range Microwaves. So much better having that distance between the stove top and the microwave! Better exhaust and easier to see what you are cooking. The old low hanging unit was covered in grease! I vented the unit directly out the back to the outside and the air flow is unbelievable! Very good removal of fumes and smoke from cooking! Very impressive looking unit too! The metal mounting bracket doubles as a template for all the holes making installation a breeze. Simply hold the bracket up against the bottom of the upper cabinet and mark the three holes for the two bolts and cord. Had the wife help me to hold it while getting the bolts started. Only confusing thing was finding the start button. It is labeled with an arrow and +30 seconds. Surprising all the manufacturers are not making these low profile units. This is a bit pricey but worth every penny, get it on sale as it goes often. Two LED lights (one inside and one lights your stove top) are bright, use very little power and should last forever. Great product!

The look is sleek but there is plenty of room inside Easy to manage the controls Frees up my countertop too

Out of the 4 matching black stainless Whirlpool kitchen appliances I purchased, this is my favorite of all! Low profile/sleek to fit in my small kitchen/cabinet space. It has freed up counter space in my small kitchen,( Hated giving up my Kenmore but, It was big) It also acts as my new hood with 2 brightness setting for the light & multiple fan speeds. It has gentle chimes & visual reminders “Welcome” & “Enjoy” when an item is finished. Multiple presets. It has modernized my kitchen!

Great fit awesome looks and performance.Easy installation . Best microwave I’ve ever had!
