Chic, small & easy!

Sometimes when all of us in our family prepare a meal together, a second countertop microwave always comes in handy. I wanted a small microwave since our kitchen is not that large, but the microwave needs to complement our gorgeous, newly remodeled kitchen. Whirlpool 0.5 cu.ft. countertop microwave does the job perfectly. It is square in shape with a rounded back, and it tugs in perfectly out of the way in the corner. I picked the white model with black glass in the front. It hardly takes up any space but looks sleek and chic. (Most countertop microwaves are rectangular in shape and are wide and take up lots of counter space. This microwave is square in shape and takes up less countertop space, and is a little taller than the rectangular shaped microwaves. So it is using up the vertical space between the countertop and the bottom of the top kitchen cabinet, which is a smart use of wasted space.) It also feels solid and substantially built. I have no patience to study complicated kitchen appliances and this microwave is so simple and easy to use! Plug it in, press the cook button, and there it cooks. One press is 30 second, 2 presses is 60 seconds, and so on. How much more convenient can life get! Despite the microwave's seemingly small size, a standard dinner plate fits in perfectly, and the microwave cooks away turning my plate around and around. I also want to be able to carry this microwave on family road trips, and this small microwave is light, small, and portable. I am just SO happy with this microwave!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Could be Better

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I replaced my 20 year old Sharp Half-Pint because the timer dial finally wore out. I've owned this Whirlpool for a month now. It works as advertised. However, the absence of rubber feet on the bottom of the machine allows it to move all over the counter when opening/closing the door. Also, it gives off an offensive odor during operation which takes a while to dissipate.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Sweet little microwave

I have owned this tiny microwave for just a couple of weeks. So far, so good. I love the additional counter space it allows. And, the interior has a rounded back which makes cleaning so much easier. My only complaint so far is that when I open the door the whole microwave moves forward. I've solved the problem by holding the appliance with one hand and opening the door with the other. A bit of a hassle, but you get use to it. You should also remember that it's not as powerful as a full size microwave, but it does work well with extra time.

Good Design, Easy to Use

I recently moved into an older apartment that just did not have the counter space for a regular size micro. I liked this Whirlpool micro because it tucked away into a corner, yet was easily accessible. In fact, I actually did not find any negatives from stepping away from a full-size micro at 1100 watts to this Whirlpool micro. I love this micro, as I have other products I have owned made by Whirlpool. In fact, it is the brand name that I look to first, and I was not disappointed in this purchase.
