[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] PLUSES: Fits; Heats Well; Looks Good OPPORTUNITIES: Smaller Rotating Plate; Reduced Heating Function Confusion. This is a replacement appliance for my 20+ year old previous microwave oven. It was purchased as part of a kitchen appliance replacement package. I fit perfectly in the hole left by the old unit. With its dark glass door trimmed by aluminum, it looks good. It heats and performs well in use. It has a good feature set. The rotating plate is smaller than the unit it replaces, but it's big enough to accommodate all the plates I've use it with. My only other grippe is with the way the function is selected for reduced heating. When you select the heating time and temperature, it flashes "10" when you hit the start button, which is a little confusing at first.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Simple enough. A basic microwave. The power level and start button as one is not practical and and confusing to operate . Wattage is basically The microwave is a decent basic model, but the combined power/start button makes operation confusing. It would be more user-friendly if the power and start functions were separate buttons.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It works. It feels cheap for the price we paid. Our last whirlpool microwave was much more solid feeling and had better preset options. It's also huge and blocks most of the stovetop access. I don't understand why they all have to be so big.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After having to go with out a microwave for 4 months, due to travels, etc. and the appointment for an install date, I was thrilled to have a microwave once again! So much so, that I would sometimes forget I had a new one. So thankful for the small things in Life!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought my microwave and stove may 2025 . I used to love whirlpool. The new whirlpool stove takes 1 minutes or more to boil water and burner turn off and turns on it's own. The microwave takes one minute or more to reheat food.
