Perfect for a small corner space

This little microwave works perfect for our counter--we wanted something that would fit into a corner and not take up too much space. it is a little tall, so make sure you have enough clearance. we mostly use it to reheat food--not for cooking and it's perfect for us. it can be a little loud, but doesn't bother us.
I wanted good looking and compact, so I am happy with that. I had trouble figuring out how to work it, and no one else at my house would even consider reading the manual. Also, the front had a thin plastic film on it, to protect it until it is sold, but it was so thin and clung so well when it started to get stretched out it looked like the microwave was getting messed up. We actually tried to return it, but it was too late. It would be good if it said something like "remove plastic film before use." Maybe it did, but I don't think so.
I've been using this for a couple months and love it! I needed something compact yet able to handle anything I might need it for. So far it's been great. Boils water, reheats food, melts things, cooks, all just as well as my former large unit. Highly recommend.
We have a small kitchen and this is the perfect microwave. We had to replace the over the range unit with a fan and found this appliance suited exactly our needs.
I ran across this product when shopping on line for a new micro. I just needed a small one as we just use it to heat things up, not for cooking.The last micro we had lasted but three years and we wanted one that would last longer. I like to read user reviews of products to help with my buying decisions. This micro had overall real good and consistent reviews and that is the main reason I bought it. It is more expensive but Whirlpool has always meant quality to me. I also like the design and simplicity of the product. Regular, thaw, and popcorn cycles are enough for me. Most small micros have lousy user reviews, but this product had good ones. It also carries a full one year warranty. Hopefully the unit will last for a good long time.
Love the style....no other one like it on the market, nice t

What caught our eye was the design aspects of the microwave, the ease of use is incomparable to other brands, its overall fit and finish just screams quality, I would recommend this Whirlpool microwave to anyone.
