[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had the Whirlpool 1.9 cu. ft. Over The Range Microwave with Sensor Cooking installed in late August 2025 by CONTINUUM HOME SOLUTIONS. This microwave replaced a GE model we had for over 14 years. So far, the Whirlpool is working great. It’s sleek and modern looking. The installation alone upgraded our kitchen. Its easy to operate, quiet to the touch and you do not have to forcefully push buttons to set cooking times. I am very pleased with this purchase. I’m now looking at the Whirlpool gas stoves to upgrade my current gas range.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The microwave has a large cooking area. It looks nice. The controls are very sensitive to the touch which makes it difficult to clean the surface. There were no written directions on how to use or clean the microwave in the box, I had to go online to read the instructions. The microwave is fairly loud (louder than my old microwave} and I find I have to press the stop button even after the item is removed from the microwave.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love my new Whirlpool microwave. I works as advertised, and like the timer chimes. The lit area with the time is nice and bright.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This microwave is so loud, much louder than our older microwave we replaced. We do not like that the vent fan runs at all times when you are heating food. The microwave is so finicky and can't handle heating multiple things in series. So if I heat one microwave dinner (think small Lean Cuisine meal) for like 3-4 min., the next family member is unable to heat up their dinner for a while. My daughter puts in a Hot Pocket that requires 1 min, 50 seconds of heating but it won't heat properly because I just heated my Lean Cuisine meal and the microwave needs a "break". The Hot Pocket will be cold when it should be steaming hot. I've already talked to multiple repair shops and techs about it and have been told that "today's new efficient microwaves" can't heat multiple things one right after the other, and that this is not a defect. I consider it a terrible defect. I hate this microwave and wish I'd kept my old 15 year old unit. We consistently have problems with this microwave not heating foods properly if we need to use the microwave more than once in a short time period. It can't handle it. I do not recommend this unit.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
