- A: AnswerHi Mike, thank you for your time in asking this. These are both Countertop Microwaves, so they will not work over a range. They can be installed in a cabinet with an optional trim kit to give a built in look. They are the same model, the WMC30516HZ is the new name we are using and it does have an updated control panel with White display color instead of blue. The WMC30516AS will not be available soon. Thanks again for your interest!

Q: QuestionIs the 13 in height just the cabinet or including the legs?(3 answers)
A: AnswerThe actual height of the cabinet is 12”. With the legs, the height is approximately 13”. Because the door release requires so much pressure to unlatch the door, the microwave shifted every time I opened the door. My solution was to get a package of 4 white appliance vibration stoppers-that stopped the movement and added just over 1/4” to the height. This is a great microwave, by the way.Answered by John

Quiet and good looking
The microwave is satisfactory. Very quiet and fit the suggested trim kit exactly as described. The only improvement that I feel could be made is to have the key menu pad light up. For us older people even in light it is sometimes hard to see the menu options. The rotating turntable helps cook food evenly all around. The digital clock LED will light up the kitchen at night.

Perfect Fit!
I had problems finding a microwave to fit my cabinet because it is 22" wide and 20" deep. I could have chosen a smaller microwave, but I wanted to get one that fit as nicely as the one I had originally installed. There were only a few that met my requirements; this one and a GE model. I could have purchased the same model that I had before - a Jennair that currently costs $800 or this one. (The GE was cheaper, but the dimensions on this one were closer to my original microwave and I have had good luck with Whirlpool appliances.) Surprisingly, the dimensions for the width were within 1/8"; the height was identical (13") and the depth was just 1.5 inches more. A perfect fit as far as a replacement goes. I had an existing trim kit that I had used with the Jennair and it fit perfectly - both with the metal platform underneath the microwave and the stainless steel trim surrounding it. (See picture). The interior looks IDENTICAL to the Jennair. The controls are a bit different, but are pretty intuitive. I won't use this for anything fancy because I have another microwave/convection oven that I use for more complex baking. I am basically going to use this to heat up drinks/food and make the occasional popcorn. My old Jennair lasted seven years before it gave out. I will be happy if this lasts as long. Like I told my wife, we can buy three of these for the price of one Jennair, so if it doesn't last as long, we can buy another one and still be ahead dollar-wise. BTW, service, as always, was great at Best Buy. Had a very nice, knowledgeable salesperson. Also got a nice price match ($30 off) and the microwave was delivered (free) the day after I purchased it. Only took me about a half-hour to install and I was good to go. Totally happy with the purchase.

Fits in cabinet
We had bought a previous version of this model for one primary reason and that was a perfect fit for the cabinet. Only required a little trim. The previous one died twice. First time a interlock failed at about 3 years. This time we decided to replace verse repair. We dislike the color of the display. The earlier model matches the other appliances, this one does not. However the new display seems to be sharper. As the back of the microwave is agaist the wall it does not move around like past microwaves. Photo of how well it fits was posted with this review.
