Perfect for small spaces
We recently did a full kitchen remodel and got rid of a large over-the-stove microwave, replaced by a convection steam oven. However, my husband wanted to be able to reheat a plate of food quickly, so I gave in to his microwave request, provided it would take up a minimum of counter space. This unit fit the bill perfectly. No local retailer seemed to carry it, but I did some on-line hunting and found an appliance store that could get it for us within a couple of weeks. It does what it needs to do and I would definitely recommend it where space is at a premium. (When people see it on the counter, they ask if it’s a tv!)

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.

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.

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.

The little microwave that could
I’ve had my new microwave for two or three months now. I had wanted for over a year but finally purchased it. So happy with it!! It takes up a lot less space than my previous one and cooks better too!!!! It cooks more evenly. Sometimes it takes cooking only 1 minute or 2 more but it heats all sides of a frozen dinner evenly unlike my previous microwave. This microwave is 750 watts and my old one was 1100 watts but you will never get me to change back!!! One or two more minutes I can handle than some areas overcooked or some being cold!! Thanks Home Depot also for installing it they delivered it and brought it in and set it up for me!! And thanks whirlpool for such a great product!!

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.

Great for Studio Apartment
Takes about 2 minutes and 50 seconds to get 40 degree refrigerated water to a boil for tea. I'd say that's only 30 seconds more than a big microwave. Seems to reheat food nicely and evenly.Cons- Slides around on counter-top, needs some sort of non-skid bottom. Also, reading the negative reviews, many people complain about the short longevity of the unit, so I purchased a 3 year Squaretrade warranty for 22.39 with a coupon.

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!

Fantastic little microwave!
We've had this now for several weeks and I just LOVE IT! It replaced a huge 1300 watt that sat above my stove on a shelf. I now how my little microwave on the counter where it should be. I have a very small kitchen and limited counter space and the size is just perfect. I was a little concerned that it might be too small but that hasn't been the case at all. Who needs a huge microwave anyway? Even the wattage difference is better. Our old microwave would explode everything unless you powered it down. And speaking of... this has a wonderful reheat feature. You hit the reheat button (automatically changes to 75% power) and then the start/30 second button as many times as you need. It's just so easy to use. We have done standard size popcorn in it (the bag doesn't start to turn right away on the turntable until it starts to pop and expand) and it came out beautifully. Does baked potatoes much better than our old one! Just 3 little beeps when it's done. Everyone who sees this microwave, loves the look of it. They sometimes think it's a TV set. Fantastic design! Thank you, Whirlpool!

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!
