Perfect size for countertops
I wanted a microwave that wouldn't take up too much space. It fits into the corner of our counter well and frees up more room that our other microwave gobbled up. Lower power but smaller space to heat, so it works just as well. It is taller than most because the mechanical and heating parts are all underneath. But not enough to warrant taking away a star.
One quibble is that the dish does not sit as flush to the bottom of the heating area. I have hit mugs on the dish when placing them inside. Also the height of the heating area is small. Still can fit a tall mug or a casserole dish with lid.
I have been pleased so far.

EXcellent Microwave!
I’d been looking for a small microwave for a long time because we have a gallery kitchen that leaves us very little counter space. After. checking out a few businesses that carried this model and reading favorable reviews here, I decided to order this Whirlpool ountertop microwave oven in black. Not only does it fit Perfectly on our counter, leaving plenty of work space; it performs like a dream! More powerful then our last microwave, the glass plate locks on top of the center revolving guide so it eliminates sliding/readjusting, and the controls are on the bottom rather then the side of the microwave. So far, we are loving our purchase!

Small and Simple
I bought this 1 month ago to fit a small space. Only microwave that I could find to fit this small of an area on the countertop.
Works great. Lower wattage so I use full power level all the time; I do not need to use a "lower power level" setting as I would on a higher wattage microwave.
Bit unusual set up for the time: no time setting per se thus easier to use in some respects. I just hit the start button for the 1st 30 seconds and keep hitting it to add 30 seconds at a time for the total time I want: hit the start button 4 times for 2 minutes.
Only complaint: very expensive for a 700W microwave.

Fits small spaces
This microwave is great for small spaces or for families that don't need a huge microwave. It fits large dinner plates just fine, does a good job of heating evenly. Best of all, it takes up very little room, we have more counter space now. We fit it into the corner under the cabinets, it's out-of-the way but very accessible. I also like that when it beeps to tell you the cook time is up, it immediately stops when you open the door. It doesn't go on beeping like our old microwave did. Very small thing, but it makes a surprising difference. No more trying to yank open the door at the last second of cook time to avoid hearing all those superfluous beeps!

Whirlpool Corner Microwave
This is my third one. 1st damaged in move. 2nd lost in move. Had to have another as I love this powerful little guy with small footprint. I use the 30 seconds option often and so pleased it now has a popcorn option. The defrost option is handy. It will fit a dinner plate. I am a 78 year old women and I unpackaged and set up on my counter with no problem. Would certainly purchase again.

Smallest footprint but still fits my needs!
Our new microwave arrived today and I already love it! I purchased it because my previous microwave took up too much precious counter space. This one takes up less than half the space. Fit and finish are very nice. There is no keyboard so you use a plus or minus button to add or decrease seconds, in five second increments. This is just fine. It fits my tall coffee cup and my large dinner plates. It heated up my frozen tamale perfectly in the amount of time stated on the packaging. I do wish the front of it was white on this “White” model, which is the reason I gave four stars for design.

So Far So Good!
After looking for a small space microwave I decided on this one. I read all the reviews...pros & cons and decided to give it a try. I like the look of the microwave and it doesn’t take up a lot of real-estate on the counter. Like some of the other reviewers I find the audible beeps loud & annoying...but I’m getting use to it! Also the blue light displays are so bright that if you wake up and go into the kitchen you will definitely be awake the rest of the night as it disrupts your circadian rhythm. I alleviated the problem by not setting the clock and putting a Black Junk Light blocker on the dashes! I like the pocket door handle but like other reviewers I found that the microwave slide around on the counter when pulling open the door. I called Whirlpool to see it they made custom stoppers for the feet but they to not! So after walking around HomeDepot looking for something to MacGyver a fix I came up with cutting down rubber chair leg protectors and a felt pad. I cut them and installed them in the front and placed a felt pad (same thickness) in the back so I could still slide it out by lifting the front and sliding it forward. I made sure it was level. I placed a level inside the microwave...checking all directions to make sure it was completely level! I was amazed at how much better it made the microwave feel and it also cut down on the noise level as it was no longer vibrating on the counter. It is so much quieter now! Obviously if you’re looking to do major cooking in this oven it may not be right for you as the wattage is much lower but it suites my needs fine by adding a little more time than usual. Also I needed to get use to the lack of a touchpad! I have included photos so you can see my modifications....Hope this helps! I love my little microwave now...I just hope it withstands the test of time as it is almost double the price of other microwaves that size!

Don't let the small size fool you!
I have a very small kitchen. The Whirlpool 0.5 cu ft microwave is perfect for my needs. It has a unique rounded back and controls on the bottom of the unit - instead of the side - which means it takes up far less counter space.The control panel is intuitive and very easy to use. I was afraid it wouldn't heat well, but it does a better job than my larger microwave. It is small, but I can easily fit a dinner plate inside. The most difference is vertical space. There is plenty of room for a large coffee mug, but probably not enough headroom for a tall bowl. Overall, a great purchase!

Do not buy this product
I purchased this product as a replacement for an older version (~2011) of the same model microwave, which (although beautiful and conveniently sided) recently has started sparking when in use. The new one did not perform as expected (~20 db louder than older one; disconcerting buzz vs. customary microwave hum). I tried to initiate a return with build.com and was transferred to Whirlpool. Whirlpool would not cover it under warranty and said I should return via build.com. They also stated that the new model is louder than the old one, but couldn't explain why. The best they could offer was to schedule a service appointment, but with the stipulation that if the repairman determined it was usable, I would have to pay for the service call myself.
Very disappointed that the new version is inferior to the old one (cost cutting perhaps?) and even moreso that Whirlpool will not take responsibility.
