Rated 1 out of 5 by SirGoss from Doesn't do what they say 1st select frozen vegetables done cold. Can vegetables slightly warm reheat, still cold. Beverages, still cold, frozen tv dinner, not done. Casserole slightly warm. Soup warm. basically nothing gets hot or done. Wless connection, oh router must be within 12 feet, duh the microwave is in the kitchen! but I don't have to worry because mine can't connect. Haven't did the oven, so far this is the poorest cooking microwave I have ever had, buyers remorse. Wish I could get my money back. Buyer Beware, go with a different brand that actually cooks the food. for a lot less money that does what it says it does instead of one that doesn't.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Clare1963 from Easy to operate, and great features My last Microwave cratered after 7 years of frequent use, and I'm hoping this Whirlpool microwave will last longer. The handle is on the side, so less chance of breaking off. The oven has a great menu of options to choose from for defrosting, melting of butter, or just warming up a dinner plate of food. The walls of the oven have an "easy-clean" surface for spills. Have melted butter for baking and popped corn successfully, made my oatmeal, and cooked eggs in a plastic container for breakfast. Also its great for melting frozen peaches for pie filling, or a topping for ice cream. It also has convection features which are useful.

Rated 4 out of 5 by yobro from Like the versatility This unit some really nice features. The wifi comes in handy as the smartphone app provides an easy way to choose your settings and gives you extra information on your preheats. It's ability to be an extra convection oven helps a ton with baking side dishes when the main oven is in use. My one issue is operating it at night. Only some of the menu items are back lit. The non-lit buttons you cannot see unless you have the lights on. I don't really buy any processed foods or meals, so I can't comment on the scan to cook feature. I definitely would buy this again!

Rated 1 out of 5 by Unhappy8723 from broke within 2 weeks and they don't want to replac We received this new microwave less than two weeks ago and it started throwing codes within two weeks. I called whirlpool, they put me in touch with another service company, the guy came out, and he couldn't fix it. He said they had to order a door. I am frustrated. Why aren't they replacing the microwave instead of fixing it when its less than 2 weeks old?! He said he couldn't help and I would have to talk with whirlpool and why I am writing this review... oh and by the way we also ordered a new oven at the same time and it arrived with a broken hinge and we are still waiting on repairs.

Rated 1 out of 5 by jgav351 from terrible design, falls apart in 1 year I'm not sure where all the raving reviews are coming from. I purchased this microwave in oct 2017. It is part of a 4 piece whirlpool appliance suite we purchased for our newly remodeled kitchen. It is at the specified height above the range. Right at the 13 month mark, little pieces of plastic began falling out of the door. Shortly after that, the electronic panel shut off and became inoperable. We did not opt for the extended warranty, as this is a MICROWAVE, and an expensive one at that. The 20+ year one that we replaced is still working at my husband's shop. After 7 phone calls to whirlpool, i finally convinced them to send out a repair company on their dime, and they ended up replacing the door. This is GOING to happen again. It is a very poor design. The heat from the stove causes the plastic in bottom of the door to become brittle, and since the electronic panel is inside the door, it eventually becomes loose and quits working. I would also like to mention that all 4 of my new whirlpool appliances purchased in oct 2017 have broken within 15 months and have all had repairs. If you do buy whirlpool, which i do not recommend, buy the extended warranty thru whirlpool because they will disown you after your one year manufacturer warranty is up. Poor quality products and no ownership for their products.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Droboto from Huge ! Looks Great, Works Great. I have had this microwave for more than 1 month now. It is much larger than the replaced one. Complaints about user interface, not backlit until you actually press a button... would like it to backlight when I try to push a button ? cant find the light button unless I turn the lights on in the kitchen, then, I don't need the light anymore. Controls also leave fingerprints that don't wipe away easily, am a little concerned about how it will look in a year or two. Overall, very happy with Microwave, used as an oven for some appetizers (true convection), soften ice cream for the kids...

Rated 3 out of 5 by JohnCr from Good mid-level unit Bought a few weeks ago. Somewhat disappointing in display. Only thing lit up was the clock. When kitchen lights are off, can’t see control displays. If reviewers don’t mind then Yes okay. Other item was installation. Instructions for installing support bracket stated to check back to front of overhead cabinet to see if bottom front and back bottom were level. If not identify difference and move bracket down same amount. In this case was 1/2”. When installed the microwave there was a 1/2” gap in the front. Resulting in having to install a 1/2” spacer. Didn’t want to move bracket up since doing so would leave 3 holes in the glass block backsplash and be visible.

Rated 4 out of 5 by BJJ/BWJ from Great Microwave Purchased this microwave 2 months ago and so far we really like it. We use it both for microwaving and convection cooking. The vegetable steamer works great as do many of the auto functions. I do wish there was a defrost for bread and/or pastries. It would be nice if it showed an approximate time on the auto menu functions. We have had to unplug and reset the microwave 4 or 5 times because it just quits working in the middle of cooking something. We did purchase an extended warranty just in case and if it continues to quit working more often will need to have it replaced. Overall a great microwave/convection oven.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Karamel. from Good microwave, poor tech We have had our microwave wave a few weeks now and it works well. It has useful features such as auto cook for popcorn and bacon which have become favorites of our family. The connection to our home network went smoothly but after hooking up with the app and Alexa, it was soon disappointing. Alexa connected but couldn’t even turn on the light or fan; one of the only things you can do remotely with the app. I have disconnected it from the network because of the annoying notifications whenever anyone uses the microwave and the lack of utility of the app.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Elopez423 from Has defect which Whirlpool has NOT resolved I purchased the microwave on March 22,2018. Had several problems with it and called the local service center about a month later. I was forced to cancel first call due to 2 deaths in the family. Called again. Was told to call again when symptoms reoccurred. Explained the systems were intermittent but ongoing. To this day I have had no response. Submitted a complain to you in July. Was referred to local service center. To this date, 5 months after having bought microwave no one has contacted me to resolve issue with microwave. I want warranty service or a refund. This is ridiculous.
