Rated 5 out of 5 by nanceej from Perfect size, can handle large bowl Bought this for the office and it is just what we needed for our staff.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Jeffrey1968 from Constant Clock Malfunction After setting the clock, it returns to 00.00 about every day. This is beyond annoying to me and I cant get past this to offer any further review of the product. It's a complete deal breaker. Whirlpool...this is almost 2019--learn how to install and program the clock feature correctly on your appliances!! I will NEVER buy a whirlpool appliance again.

Rated 3 out of 5 by GaryTx from Broken Upon Installation Microwave was installed by builder. First time we used the microwave we got the message "Door Open", had to open and close the door several times before microwave would work. At that same time the clock kept resetting to ZERO. We just assumed since it was new we had to work a few kinks out. This was not the case. I have scheduled a service call.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Marshie from Is so much faster than my old Microwave. I’m Happy with my new Microwave except still a little uncertain about some of the buttons.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Ferris from Powerful! While this microwave is powerful and reheating and cooking time is shorter than my previous Whirlpool this model is easily scratched on the outside surface. I think it is rather pricey but we had to have the same size as the one that bit the dust since it was built in.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Big DD from User friendly I bought my microwave two months ago. It works fast and quiet, except for closing the door. It is noisy when opening and closing the door. Would like to see a soft close type option on door. I like the sound that the microwave uses to notify me, much better than that annoying beep sounds that microwaves used to have. I like the inside size of this microwave.

Rated 1 out of 5 by JMANRA from Same Issues as Others We just moved in a new home and this microwave was already installed. It worked just fine for a few weeks and then we are having the same issues as other reviewers ... the clock and door. The clock will not stay set; it will reset at 0:00 every time we use it. Sometimes it will appear "door" when we try to use it. Really?

Rated 4 out of 5 by Sregor54 from Large capacity. Cooks evenly. Buttons small This unit replaced a 15year old built in. I find the buttons a little small and hard to read. At first I was dismayed there was no "Add 30" seconds button, but discovered simply pressing the > start button perform same function.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Mike220 from Not Very Please!!!! This will be the 4th time of replacing the Microwave. We renovated our kitchen and our contractor replaced all kitchen appliances with Whirlpool appliances. The 1st Microwave went bad after about a year, and was replaced under extended warranty we purchased through Texas Appliance. That too crashed all with similar problem - BAD MAGNETRON we were told. Then another replacement for a 2nd time with the same problem and the microwave's inability to hold time. When you set the clock, it would not stay set. This time we requested for a different model, which Whirlpool obliged our request with a different model, but we were able to use the same trim kit. That was the 3rd time. Now that is having the same problem with not holding the set time when you set the clock. When you finish microwaving and open the lid, the clock resets to "000". Additionally, we get an error message in the display window of "F10", not sure what that means and customer service couldn't tell either. They tried trouble shooting over the phone but to no avail. Now we've been approved yet for another replacement - the 4th replacement. To say we are frustrated would be an understatement of the century because, apart from the inconvenience of not having the use of our microwave, we have to make time to be home for each delivery and installation. We are almost certain we will be faced with the same issues with the pending 4th replacement. If this product is defective, it should be taken off the market. We are even considering switching out all the whirlpool appliances we currently have.
