[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a couple of weeks ago and so far it is easy to use. The signal sound is very quiet and even on the loudest level it can barely be heard. There should be better adjustments to make it louder or choices for a different sound. The viewing window seems to be smaller than my older Maytag and I miss the mirror finish on the inside. Don't understand why you have to press an extra button to clear the program after you open the door.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Only had it one week. I am still learning how to use it. The inside is smaller than my previous microwave.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had the microwave for a couple weeks now and I’m pleased with it and all of its features. I love the looks of it. If I am to say anything negative about it It seems to be a bit louder than my old one but maybe it’s just me.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this a month ago. Haven't used all the features yet but microwave is easy to use and looks beautiful in my kitchen. The 30 second button is my friend!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It would be very helpful to have the panel light up or to have a brighter light inside so when door is opened you can see what you are choosing. Also a complete user guide should come with the microwave. It would be nice to know all the features and how to choose them without having to just press the buttons to find out. Also, the light underneath is very dim even on high and the timer sound is very low even at the loudest. The microwave works fine but I am not impressed.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It would have been nice if an owner's manual was provided. Nope. Whirlpool just wants you to press buttons until you either figure it out or break it, in order to buy another one. Unimpressed!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
