Great space saver but takes 3x as long to heat anything

The design, size and looks of this microwave are outstanding. However, things that used to take us 30 seconds to warm up are now taking 1:30 or even 2:00 minutes before same temperature. We thought it was related to wattage but even at 100% it's not warming as fast. Our old microwave was 1100W and this one is 759W. So, we knew it would take slightly longer but are surprised by how much longer.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

unique design and saves space.

I chose it because of the great corner design. Frees up a lot of space on my counter and works as well as the huge ones. Previously, I had one that hogged the entire space. I chose the white as I like how it contrasts with the black door, and it looks like my MAC computer. Also matches my Whirlpool fridge. People are amazed that it's a microwave because it is unique.It serves well in heating foods and dinner plates fit fine. I also like how the base is higher, making it easier to put items in and remove.

Excellent performance for a small space.

Surprisingly good performance for a small unit -- much better than the Cube we had previously. Does everything well, and the side entry of the microwaves seems to cook more uniformly than the top entry on the old Cube. Rounded shape is useful for cormer placement. Elevated door means you don't have to remove everything on the counterin front of it to access the food inside -- very convenient. Will buy another for our summer house!

Whirlpool? 0.5 cu. ft. Countertop Microwave with Add 30 Seconds Option is a great product for counter top use where you need a small unit. This microwave might be small in size but it's big on features and ease of use. Would highly recommend for need of smaller counter top foot print or just want a great small unit with ability to take care of your microwave cooking needs.

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!

Cute and compact!

I love this microwave. I have a tiny kitchen with limited counter space. The Whirlpool 0.5 cu. ft. countertop hardly takes any space at all! It looks great AND works great, much better than a bigger microwave that I had previously owned.

This product is the perfect size for a smaller kitchen. It is may be compact, but it gets the job done. It has nice basic features. It is easy to use. Great styling.
