Customer Reviews

Rated 4 out of 5 by sothog from My second This is my second purchase of this product. I bought the first in 2011. It eventually developed Alzheimers: the turntable would revolve whenever it was plugged in and you had to consciously program & hit "power" to activate any cooking. Strangers were helpless trying to use it, but it was awkwardly functional. It's a small micrwave, so doesn't have the power of larger countertop or built-in microwaves...no surprise and it gets the job done...just takes a little longer. We liked the size and utility of the microwave (it's at our lake cabin), so didn't hesitate to purchase again, particularly at this pricepoint. Keeping our fingers crossed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Cat G. from 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!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from Great space save, but buttons don't wear well I bought this two years ago. Great space saving design.I've never needed to microwave anything that's too big to fit in it.Less powerful than others (heats slower) but that trade off is worth it to me for the space savings and good design.Beeping sound is a less pleasant than it could be.The button design is pretty good - I don't miss having a dial or number pad to set the cooking time.Biggest problem is that the plastic covering the buttons is wearing off - which makes it look pretty bad. I've not particularly rough with it, and not a very frequent user, so this is definitely a design or manufacturing flaw.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Archiguitarchi from Tremendous little Microwave! I bought this microwave for several reasons, the most important being that, because of its round back, it would fit in the corner of my countertop. Yes, I paid more for it than others this size, but I regained a couple of square feet of counter space, space that is pretty nice to have on holidays when the entire clan is here! No other company makes a microwave in this configuration. It cooks as well as the 1,500 watt unit it replaced and the controls are intuitive. A large dinner plate fits the turntable. This was an important issue as well. Of course, "brand" is important. I trust two appliance manufacturers, and Whirlpool is one of them. I could not be happier with this little microwave.

Rated 5 out of 5 by cdgross from 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.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Patti from Wait till you need to replace the lightbulb, then review it I bought this microwave in 2011 and it still works, for that, I am grateful. But the lightbulb went out shortly after I bought it. The users manual shows the "location" of the lightbulb. No mention of a replacement bulb part number or how one might go about installing it. Online help says if no light, replace the lightbulb. There is no access to it other than removing the housing with a special screwdriver that most people do not have in their home. My next microwave will be one that doesn't require an appliance dealer to replace the bulb. Yes, I recommend this microwave to a friend who doesn't mind cooking in the dark.

Rated 5 out of 5 by brdfrk from Great little machine I wanted a small microwave that would fit in my apartment easily. This microwave does the trick by making use of vertical space and nestling into a little area on my counter. I especially like that the door is high enough that I can have a bowl in front of the machine when I open the door, and I can see into the machine very easily while it is running. Best of all, it is a really cute little guy!Only complaints are that it takes a while to set longer run times, and that the beep when it is done is a little loud. However, I really appreciate it reminding me that it was done if I don't open the door after the first beep!

Rated 5 out of 5 by DevinM from Excellent Compact Microwave We purchased this microwave to replace our Sharp full-size microwave. Our apartment has limited counter space and this microwave was a great choice. It takes up far less room than a standard microwave without losing the power.Overall, the microwave performs well. We use our microwave for basic things like reheating food and making popcorn and we thought it heated just as fast and evenly as any standard microwave. It took a couple days to get used to the control settings, but it's pretty easy to learn.We would recommend this microwave to anyone living in an apartment or in need of more counter space. It's just as good as a standard microwave and less than half the size!

Rated 5 out of 5 by WarrenKeller from Space saver, amazing results! I just purchased this microwave for my condo, that has limited counterspace and let me tell you i am impressed! This Microwave has surpassed all my expectations and it doesnt take up that much space on my counter, so i can leave it out and also everyone wants to play with it! It cooks very evenly, has a clock, and will go with any decor. And you can't beat the price, plus its a Whirlpool, whats not to love? Now you and i can have our counterspace back! I was tired of the over sized microwaves, sure they're nice, but its just me and my daughter, we don't really need all that space. This is great for apartments, condos, colleges! The list is truly endless! Thanks Whirlpool!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Catusflower from This is the best microwave oven I have every owned. Thanks for asking, I have had microwave oven before, although not like this one, this is a perfect size oven, best of all fits in corner, no wasted space.it has a 8 inch size plate turntable, all you have to do is barely touch the screen I think it works with the heat of your skin, seems like it to me. because of the shape of it you have more space on the counter top. I am so pleased with this microwave that I have mentioned it to my friends. You do not need to have a small kitchen to get this, it can be useful in a larger kitchen, I got the black one and just love it.Thank you for designing this one
