Fantastic little microwave!

We've had this now for several weeks and I just LOVE IT! It replaced a huge 1300 watt that sat above my stove on a shelf. I now how my little microwave on the counter where it should be. I have a very small kitchen and limited counter space and the size is just perfect. I was a little concerned that it might be too small but that hasn't been the case at all. Who needs a huge microwave anyway? Even the wattage difference is better. Our old microwave would explode everything unless you powered it down. And speaking of... this has a wonderful reheat feature. You hit the reheat button (automatically changes to 75% power) and then the start/30 second button as many times as you need. It's just so easy to use. We have done standard size popcorn in it (the bag doesn't start to turn right away on the turntable until it starts to pop and expand) and it came out beautifully. Does baked potatoes much better than our old one! Just 3 little beeps when it's done. Everyone who sees this microwave, loves the look of it. They sometimes think it's a TV set. Fantastic design! Thank you, Whirlpool!

Great for my smaller kitchen

I replaced a full size microwave with this product. I quickly realized that this corner microwave delivers more than enough cooking power while freeing valuable counter top space. The design is attractive and the microwave offers a button lock feature that makes me more comfortable having my young niece in the kitchen cooking with me. I'm so happy that I purchased this product.

Great little microwave for my little kitchen, with just one

I love this little guy. He fits back in a corner and doesn't take up too much room. He heats up my food. He's easy to clean. He looks cool.My only problem is the timer function. The biggest issue is that the alert is not very loud, and only sounds once. Even in my small apartment, if I'm in another room I may miss it the first time. Also, when you set the timer it doesn't start automatically and the setting disappears after only a few seconds.I like the +30 seconds button a lot, and I love that the controls are on the door.

It fits my needs!

I live in a small condo and I needed a microwave that would not take up a lot of horizontal counter space. This model is a perfect fit. I need to use a stool to remove a bowl of soup, etc. from the microwave above my range. I'm short and it's too high. I've been fighting this for years and decided I need convenience at my age. Also, the other 700W microwaves had small turntables. This one accommodates an 11-inch plate. It took a bit of practice to learn how to use the various buttons, but now I'm an expert! If only the buttons were across the top rather than the bottom -- they would be easier for me to use. It did cost twice of what another 700W would have, but I deserve the convenience.

Unique and EXACTLY what I was looking for

It is so hard to find a compact microwave. I have had this for 4 months and love it. It fits an entire dinner plate and is tall enough for my large coffee mug. I don't need to microwave a turkey, but I do need counter space. LOVE IT.
