Small and Simple

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this 1 month ago to fit a small space. Only microwave that I could find to fit this small of an area on the countertop.
Works great. Lower wattage so I use full power level all the time; I do not need to use a "lower power level" setting as I would on a higher wattage microwave.
Bit unusual set up for the time: no time setting per se thus easier to use in some respects. I just hit the start button for the 1st 30 seconds and keep hitting it to add 30 seconds at a time for the total time I want: hit the start button 4 times for 2 minutes.
Only complaint: very expensive for a 700W microwave.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had my whirlpool microwave for almost a year & I love it. More power than I expected, very easy to use & just so cute. Because of its shape, it’s fits nicely into a corner. The only small negative is that the door latch is so secure that sometimes the whole microwave moves when I open the door. I read this on another review before I bought it. Very minor & doesn’t change my positive review. I’d buy it again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The size and shape fit nicely on my countertop without taking up much space. I haven't used a microwave in about 7 years but when I saw this I decided get it and am so glad I did. For one person it is perfect!

This is a very nice microwave. Though I have only use it for reheating coffee and defrosting items, its been a very good replacement for my old unattractive microwave. I purchased a 'white' and yet its really a two-tone because the front of unit is black. So, if I had put more thought into it I would have purchased all black. We have placed it on a shelf over that sits over the counter. Though its a stable unit, we are very careful opening the door because its higher and if there is something hot it could be jolted out.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I downsized from a townhouse to an efficiency apartment, so I didn't have room for my 900 watt microwave. My friend owned this microwave and suggested it to me. It fits neatly on my counter with space to spare and the silver color fits my white kitchen better than my old red one. Easy to use, too.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this microwave to make more room on my counter. It is compact and so easy to use. I could not be happier with this purchase. I wish I would have found it years ago.

Great for small spaces

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We were Looking for a microwave that took up minimal counter space but had useful features. This one fits the bill! Works great in a corner and will accommodate a good size dinner plate. Convenient hearing and defrosting functions. It took a little getting used to having to press “up” to get the right length of hearing time, rather than punching on the numbers, but we got used to it.

Perfect size for a corner

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Why aren’t more microwaves designed to fit in corners? This is perfect for someone like me who doesn’t “cook” in it. I do wish that the first 15 minutes of heat time were available in smaller increments.
