Whirlpool - 1.9 Cu. Ft. Convection Over-the-Range Microwave with Sensor Cooking - Black

We've only had this OTR Microwave for a month, but so far, all is well. It is incredibly quiet when running...quieter than any other microwave I've ever heard!! This unit replace a high-end Samsung that died after about 8 years....which itself was a replacement to an earlier high-end Whirlpool, that was a service nightmare. We are hoping that Whirlpool learned a lot in the last 8 years, and have built a much more reliable unit. So far, along with being quiet, it cooks quickly and accurately (specifically with the sense capability). We've also noticed its defrost feature is extremely good. We tossed in a pound and a half of totally frozen ground turkey (defrost\meat\by weight), and it came out perfectly defrosted, with no partially cooked/brown edges, which is typical in this scenario. We've used the convection feature a few times, and it performed as it should. After doing a lot of research on similar products, this Whirlpool is in a class by itself. Pretty much every other make/model that we reviewed did not have all of the features of this model (just finding one with convection is tough, these days), or was smaller in size (others maxing out at 1.7 Cu Ft.). Along with all of the cooking features on this microwave, one of the huge draws for us was the clean, no handle front. Although this model may be a bit two square in design for some people, it fits perfectly with our Dacor range, which has totally straight lines as well. ...and no, I did not get paid for this review.

This microwave is perfect ! I do not need a oven because I cook the food with this Whirlpool-1,9 Cu. Ft. Convection Microwave You need to have !

I love how this looks in my kitchen. It does everything and is super quiet.

I can understand why this microwave gets good reviews because the features are great but after only 2 yrs the plastic started to deteriorate and left the panel door vulnerable to moisture from cooking to enter the control panel which caused it to malfunction. We had a repair person out that said we had to replace the door which was almost as much as we paid for the it. Best Buy would not stand by this product because we didn't purchase the extended warranty so decided to purchase a whole new one that will not match the stove but won't pay for a product that doesn't last longer than 2 yrs!

So far, so good, I am enjoying this convection microwave. This is my second convection microwave. This one is much quieter, and the exhaust works even better. I love that it sends me a notification to my Apple Watch that lets me know when the cycle is complete as I can’t hear the microwave from other rooms like the previous model. The interior is easier to clean, and I love the steam function. The steaming basket was an accessory that came with the microwave. My favorite thing to cook using the convection oven and microwave simultaneously are sweet potatoes. They turn out well carmelized and sugary sweet after an hour. My only peeve is to do multi step cooking is not as intuitive as my previous model which only required the same one button being pressed. However, the plus side to this new system is that I can add a third stage which I couldn’t do before.

Our family is enjoying this microwave and also the convenience of the convection. We made some cinnamon rolls on a plate that were perfect and we didn’t have to use the stove and just a plate that was simple to clean. I like that it does not have a handle, last microwave we had the door handle broke.

After year and a half door broke with plastic pieces falling off of inside of the door. We can not use the Microwave since keypad errors out now and Microwave is sensing that door is open even when it is closed. Whrilpool was adamant about sending a service man for just diagnosis, which most definitely cost half the price of new door for just looking at it. Door itself is half the price of the microwave (you do the math). I am baffled by the cheap parts used in this product and whirlpool is not standing behind there product. It only came with 1 year limited manufacture warranty and I guess microwave is useless after little over an year. I advice everyone to either get extended warranty from Best buy for this product or stay away from Whirlpool.

I purchased this to replace the microwave that came with my house when it went bad. I opted for the convection microwave instead of a regular over the stove one because of the amount of power needed for small things compared to using my oven. This thing works great. A little on the hard side when first figuring out all the options. I do not have it connected to the wifi and probably never will. This microwave is great for steaming veggies with the enclosed steamer. Kids love how their brocolli turns out. Using the convection side of the oven does great for making garlic bread and toasting sandwiches. Overall, a good investment if you need to replace your microwave!
