Pricey But The Best Microwave Ever
on February 16, 2023
Posted by: my210cents
from San Antonio
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Can you get a cheaper micro? Yes. Is it tiny? Not really. Does it heat food very evenly and quickly? Yes! Popcorn button is on point with the timing. Less buttons than all the wasteful extras on usual microwaves. Very pleased so far.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Countertop Microwave

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works fine. A lot of internal room for a smaller unit. Setting cook time is a bit cumbersome because there is no option to just set the exact time desired.

A wonderful space saving microwave!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have been using the microwave for a couple weeks now and are impressed with it. It gives us more counter space due to its size and shape. We were amazed by how it warms items quickly. I thought there would be a big difference in warming times from my 1100 watt microwave, but I really haven't noticed that much difference. The turntable inside helps warm everything evenly too. We use our microwaves for warming leftovers, frozen meals or snacks, and defrosting meat mainly.
So, far there is no item that hasn't fit in this microwave. I have put a dinner plate in it without having any problem with it touching anywhere inside the microwave. To get an idea of the height of the inside, the regular bags of a popular brand of frozen corn and broccoli will touch the top of the microwave. The interior light is bright too.
The exterior size of the microwave was one of our main concerns with purchasing a new microwave. It fits nicely underneath our upper cabinets with some space to spare, and our lower cabinets were raised about an 1 1/2".
The controls are on the front under the door and are simple to use. It has a nice bright blue display for clock and timer. I like the ability to add time to warming when melting cheese or whatever. The door opens and closes nicely.
We purchased the white model to match the rest of our kitchen. It gives off a cute and clean appearance. Everyone that sees it asks what it is. When I tell them it's our microwave, they think it is the cutest or neatest thing. The fit and functionality is perfect for us. It was what we were looking for.

We loved the look of this microwave and was perfect for our small kitchen. It only comes with a one year warrantly. of course at 18 months, it started sparking inside and Whirlpool wouldn't do anything about it
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Less really is more!

from New Haven, CT
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This microwave has exceeded my expectations in every way. First of all, I reclaimed much needed counter space in my galley kitchen. Then this little tiger fits my dinner plates perfectly. Pizza reheats are no problem. If that weren't enough the control buttons are so simple I can't believe how easy it is. My neighbor ordered one right after seeing she saw mine! This is truly a case of 'less is more'!

Compact size
on August 26, 2024

from Kingsford, MI
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the size of this microwave because I only use to reheat or melt items for baking.
Only issue I have is box came taped up and when I removed it one side of the microwave was dented.
Hopefully it will not affect the performance
