great for small counter space

While I thought this was a little pricey I felt it was worth it to have a unit that was compact enough to fit on a narrow section of counter space. I used to have an old Sharp Carousel dorm size microwave and it died after years of use and until spotting this item I had been unable to find a similar compact microwave. This Whirlpool microwave has more power than a lot of the bulkier models I had to use in the interim before finding this brand and model. I also like that it only does a few brief beeps when done cooking. Some other brands I've had in the past seemed to never stop beeping and beeped so loudly it sounded like a Mack truck going in reverse. This is much quieter and the beeps just a few times which is all you need.
The size and features of this microwave are a great fit in our newly remodeled kitchen. Did not want an over the range microwave andthis countertop unit saves space and performs well.
This microwave is small in foot print, does not have a lot of unused features, but gets the job done. We were creating a "tower" for small appliances in our kitchen when I lucked up on this microwave. It fit right in. The wattage is a little low but you learn to deal with it.
I wanted a small microwave that would fit in my apartment easily. This microwave does the trick by making use of vertical space and nestling into a little area on my counter. I especially like that the door is high enough that I can have a bowl in front of the machine when I open the door, and I can see into the machine very easily while it is running. Best of all, it is a really cute little guy!Only complaints are that it takes a while to set longer run times, and that the beep when it is done is a little loud. However, I really appreciate it reminding me that it was done if I don't open the door after the first beep!
Works well, is a nice design, but it would be better to be able to program in the time instead of having to hit the 30 second button multiple times to get to a larger time amount.
I live in a condo with a galley kitchen and limited counter space. I love this microwave because it fits into a corner and gives me more counter space to cook. I like the design where the electronics are under the microwave instead of on the side making it more compact. I've had it for almost a year and have no complaints.
We bought this product because we needed a compact microwave due to lack of counter space. The features are outstanding and the unit is easy to use. Being able to hold a dinner plate is perfect for our use. We have made popcorn and queso in addition to regular items. Comes out great every time. Would definitely recommend this product.
I love the size and shape of this microwave, for I have limited space on my kitchen counter. It is easy to use, and so far it has lived up to my expectations.
