[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hard to find a white appliance, but we did. Size is perfect for defrosting larger foods. The on/off turntable function is a great feature. Setting for clock and sound are very confusing and not easy to set up.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like most everything, although I am still getting used to the express buttons -when I want to put something in for only 20 seconds it take 4 buttons to start. But my huge complaint is that although I have the tones set for the 3-loudest, I am slightly hard of hearing and even with my hearing aids in I can't hear the button tones, and certainly not the end of cycle tone.
It works fine, but the preset function are useless

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A little background, we bought it because we like our Whirlpool Washer, Dryer and Refrigerator. So far, we absolutely hate this microwave, but due to the return policies of the big box store we are stuck with it. We bought it because of the preset features that have turned out to be a disaster. The only preset that seems to work properly are the potato and oatmeal. If you use dinner plate and some of the others, you end up with rubber. The absolute worst one is the beverage preset. I would like to know who programmed a cup of coffee or a cup of milk to cook for 90 seconds! Do you know what happens to an 8-ounce cup of coffee if you let it go for 90 seconds? I imagine it could cause some cheaper cups to break. Another thing, why do we have to hit cancel when the microwave is done cooking? We must hit cancel every single time something is done. This microwave is a total waste of money, don't buy it because you can't use the presets, and you must hit cancel every single time your food or drink is finished cooking. We paid extra for this because we wanted all the nice features. We should have just purchased a cheap one because we must do things the way you did on a 1980s microwave. It really stinks, because I cook ahead and freeze meals. When you buy an overhead microwave, you can’t exactly test it out for a few days before hanging it. We are stuck with it because of the stupid appliance return policies of the big box store we purchased it from. The only good thing I can say about it is that it looks nice.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this unit end of October. One of the few inexpensive white microwaves we could find. Functions are easy to understand. Takes a bit getting used to having to cancel operation every time the microwave is used. We've turned on the sound alarm, adjusted volume up but it still isn't very loud.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The unit looks nice and fits in with our other kitchen appliances. However, the unit does not come with a detailed set of instructions on how to use it! I went online as well and could not locate an owner’s manual on use!! Very disappointing.
