[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kitchen renovation wouldn't be complete without this little microwave. It may be small but it does the job...HIGHLY recommend.

Perfect size

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's a perfect size for a limited countertop space. I bought this a month ago and am happy with it. I read other reviews that said the power cord was black, so I was concerned if it would work for us. However, the power cord is white, which is very nice.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just bought this. There are flaws on the front like it was hit or color coming off. I like it for the look but small and doesn't fit a larger cup to heat up like a regular microwave.

Great product, terrible longevity.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My review would have been 5 stars had this device had some longevity. unfortunately, its got a lifespan of 2 to 3 years.
as far as counter space goes, I have a small kitchen. not a lot of room for appliances such as a microwave. Most are rectangular and take up quite a bit of space. even, under the cabinet mounted ones eat up quite a bit of room. many years ago, we found this model online and it was a great purchase. the size is perfect for an 11-inch plate and most items. the best part of the product design has to be its curved back... We have this microwave placed in a corner on the countertop next to the refrigerator. pushed back into the corner it leaves a lot of room on the counter than would have been available with a conventionally designed microwave. kudos...
THE BAD. The last two models of this device I've owned started to fail with the magnetron making a lot of noise and sparking. Both had to be replaced within 3 years. The first model lasted 5+ years. I purchased this model's additional 3-year extended warranty because I know I'll need it. honestly, Whirlpool should just increase the price of the item to equal the cost of the 3-year warranty and then just make that the manufacturer's warranty. Either way. this is not a buy-it-for-life product .. it's not even a buy it for a half-decade product. if you could figure out how to resolve the design issues cauing them to fail. this would be another great product in a very respected marquee.

Great compact appliance

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you want a compact microwave that can have a plate size portion then this is great. Fits where no other microwave could have. Very happy with it

Compact size

from Kingsford, MI
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the size of this microwave because I only use to reheat or melt items for baking.
Only issue I have is box came taped up and when I removed it one side of the microwave was dented.
Hopefully it will not affect the performance

Happy at first but…

We bought this microwave a couple of years ago as it fit perfectly in the corner of our kitchen. Unfortunately, as others have reported, we have experienced the same issue with sparking from the wave cover. As this doesn’t seem to be a new problem, why would you continue to sell a product that has a short life span with no way to repair it? Has this problem been addressed in newer models?
