White cord on a black microwave?

BEWARE!!! I had this microwave before in the silver/stainless color and knew it would be a good addition to my appliance line up. The microwave itself functions well. HOWEVER, I purchased this microwave in the color black to go with my kitchen decor. They don't show a picture of the back of the unit so I was unaware that this appliance came with a WHITE cord. The cord is short which is fine, BUT that means there is no way it can be hidden. The color contrast sticks out like a sore thumb. Who designed this? It is absolutely horrible as the combination does NOT look good together. This is unacceptable for the price as this microwave is expensive and was made to look very cheap.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This microwave fits perfectly in a corner saving counter space! You can add 30 seconds of cook time also which is a great feature. Craftmanship is so good, this is my second purchase for this microwave.
We had this less than three years and it burned out. There was a red flash, a burning smell, and it was gone. Hope this was an anomaly. Until then, it was great. Just the right size for our limited use.

I moved into an apartment a few years ago and brought my countertop microwave with me. It ate up a bunch of countertop in my galley kitchen, but I didn't like any of the smaller alternatives until I found this one. Best purchase I've made in a long time. It isn't as powerful as my old one, but since I only reheat leftovers, that isn't really an issue. The only complaint, if it truly is a complaint, is that it is so lightweight that it moves every time I open the door. A piece of gripper shelf liner under it solved that problem.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] * bought this from Whirlpool because I couldn't find it anywhere else. It reheats my meals and is not bulky like others. I use it daily
Almost perfect. Gets the job done however the beeps are so loud and annoying on any microwave but this one’s tone is especially annoying. This microwave would be perfect if there was a mute option.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have this microwave for about a month now. It is the perfect size for my family. It takes up less counter space than my old microwave and yet still large enough to heat a dinner plate.
