Rated 2 out of 5 by 3Rich3 from Nice features, but... Bought microwave three weeks ago.. The door has two prongs that latch and hold it close... It takes considerable effort to either open or close the door because of this design feature... Also, randomly, at about every 10 or 15 door closures, the time display disappears and is replaced by 3 zeros when closing the door.. This is very annoying as I have to reset the clock time after every occurance. It’s almost as if some wiring or an internal switch is loose and being jarred when the door shuts or something...As mentioned above, the door closure requires a lot of force because of the two locking prong design and this jars the unit quite a bit with every closure...

Rated 4 out of 5 by Usma07 from Door is really hard to open! We bought this microwave two months ago and use it daily. It heats great and does everything you would expect a microwave to do except the door does not open easily. I have literally dislocated my thumb trying to get the door to unlatch and open. If it weren’t for this I’d be completely satisfied with the microwave but I’m afraid I’m going to break a finger trying to open the door. In all fairness we have not contacted the manufacturer yet as I kept hoping that it would work it’s way loose but to date it hasn’t. Guess we will be making a call for help!

Rated 5 out of 5 by DWWeaver from Greateast FeaturesI I purchased this particular microwave because it was larger i.e.1.6 CF compared with the 1.3 CF and yet fit perfectly in the same space utilizing the old trim work without having to do anything but center it in place. It fits perfectly and is so much quitter than the GE it replaces. So glad I was able to install it without "professional" assistance and their insistence that I could not fit it in place with the same trim I already had on hand. They were wrong! It looks great and works great. I could have bought a similar Sharp MW but decided on Whirlpool because of the quality of all other Whirlpool appliances I have experience with over the years.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Farmer Steve from Sour Taste Our old microwave cooked its last meal, so needed a new one. Researched online and decided on the Whirlpool. I ordered it and it arrived about two weeks later. When we unpacked the microwave, there was a bashed in spot on the backside corner. Probably pushed in about an inch or two. We examined the shipping box and no damage there, so obyiously the microwave was packed after it was damaged. I sent pictures and the story to Whirlpool. They emailed me back saying someone would be in touch. That was two months ago. Thanks for nothing. This microwave is built more cheaply than our old Amana. We won't ever purchase Whirlpool again.

Rated 1 out of 5 by irked from Horrible We have lived in our house for 3 years and had the original microwave replaced once. We actually had the same problems (door wouldn't open/close, clock numbers first reverted to all "0s") but didn't want to go through the hassle of having the appliance people out again since it was basically working. But now it has moved on to losing parts of the numbers so you don't know how much time is entered or remaining. VERY AGGRAVATING. Tried to check on it today to go ahead and replace (they know it is junk so not worth fixing), but it has been discontinued. As others have mentioned, we have the trim kit so we need to somehow replace this with something that fits. I would love to buy a different brand but then you have to think about resale value on your home. Anyone who has dealt with this and has a suggestion, your help would be appreciated!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Rescueman from Very Quiet The first thing I noticed is this microwave is very quiet compared to the one it replaced. I also really like that the glass turntable is 16.5" around--much larger than I've seen on most microwaves. The only thing I liked more on the old microwave was the ability to just touch a number and have the microwave heat at 100% for the minutes that corresponded to the number selected. You can get the same result with this microwave by by pressing the Add 30 Sec on the keypad, but obviously, you'd have to press it multiple times if you want to heat for 2-3 minutes. Outside of that minor detail, everything about the microwave is superior (the look, size, and quietness especially).

Rated 3 out of 5 by bryce5_04 from Quiet and works great - Minus electrical issues. We've had ours for 3-4 months now and it looks great and works great except when you open/close the door it resets the clock to 0:00 and you have to reset it all the time. I've noticed many others have complained about the same issue.. I'm hoping they release an update that can correct the issue? Otherwise it's really quiet and spacious and has a lot of power to heat up the food quickly.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Indian15 from Very cheaply made I Purchased this microwave a little over a mouth ago the first time i used it the button to open the door was very hard to push and it just go worst, I called whirlpool and after 40 min waiting on the phone I got someone to talk to they took my info and said I would get a call back in a couple of days well I did get a call the very next day and I waited on the Phone for 1hr and 30min when I finally hung up. I have been trying to call back for 2 days every time I call it says anywhere from 30min to 80mins I think this is unacceptable. I don't think I will ever purchase another Whirpool product ever again

Rated 3 out of 5 by Sklear from Good and Bad The microwave is large, powerful, and whisper quiet, but the door is difficult to open. Depressing the button to open the door required a lot of pressure and once depressed the door takes one to two seconds to open. I would have returned it to the store, but it was the only model with a frame kit that fit the custom opening.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Jimmy 84 from Good microwave but electronics on it aren’t good This is the second same make and model I’ve purchased due to a specially fitting space and trim kit. Microwave works well when operational, but the electronics seem to fail very fast thus making the microwave inoperable and needing to replace in only two years. I would not have bought the same model had I been able to find another microwave with the same dimensions. Works well but doesn’t last!
