When we remodeled our kitchen our old microwave was too big for the space we had in mind. The Whirlpool was PERFECT--it fit right into a small corner of the countertop so it doesn't hide much of the lovely backsplash we chose for our walls. Besides that, because it is round in the back, it can fit a full dinner plate with no problem. It's very easy to use and looks great.
Bought because we bought one for my parents' kitchen that has limited counter space. Fits well in the corner and can still fit a dinner plate in it or any container that size. Only complaint is it is much slower than my previous countertop microwave (750w versus 1100w) and tedious cook time setting. You can hold down the button to speed up but then you end up going too far and have to repeatedly press the + or - button to finally hit the desired time setting.
We love these three features: the shape, which fills wasted corner space; the appearance, which resembles a small TV; and the feature of adding multiple 30 seconds by retouching the start button, which permits seniors with failing eyes like us to set the desired cook time by listening to the clicks instead of searching for numbers.
easy to operate and fits well into a small kitchen

Bought this three months ago works great, looks small inside but will fit a full size plate or cup easly. Not complicated to operate easy to use. Excellent product
Easy-to-understand instructions. However, it says to set the power level at "2' [20%] to soften butter but it doesn't say for how long to run it [10 seconds? 20 seconds?].
