great for small counter space
on November 9, 2013

While I thought this was a little pricey I felt it was worth it to have a unit that was compact enough to fit on a narrow section of counter space. I used to have an old Sharp Carousel dorm size microwave and it died after years of use and until spotting this item I had been unable to find a similar compact microwave. This Whirlpool microwave has more power than a lot of the bulkier models I had to use in the interim before finding this brand and model. I also like that it only does a few brief beeps when done cooking. Some other brands I've had in the past seemed to never stop beeping and beeped so loudly it sounded like a Mack truck going in reverse. This is much quieter and the beeps just a few times which is all you need.
I would recommend this to a friend!

"Simply, the best microwave I have ever bought"

I read the reviews and chose my Whirlpool microwave based on those comments. It's streamline corner position in my small kitchen is a perfect fit. The simple and clean layout of the command pad is well thought out.

Excellent for small apt. living

Shape and size make it excellent for small spaces and apt. living but some key features missing such as a full keypad and the timer maxes out at 30 min. Overall a good microwave for someone that uses it for simple things - reheating mostly.

Takes up half the space and cooks faster than my previous unit.Most everyone who has seen it thinks it;s a small TV on the counter top.We have recomended it to others.

A Little too small

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a few weeks ago for my bedroom bar area. The clock is very bright and keeps me up at night so I have to unplug. Also the inside is really small. However, this is the only size that has fit and this is a BIG deal.

This microwave is the perfect size, especially if you don't have much counter space. Fits in a corner perfectly. Is very cute and has lots of features. Love it.

Nice for office

Works well, is a nice design, but it would be better to be able to program in the time instead of having to hit the 30 second button multiple times to get to a larger time amount.

Counter top space saving
on May 30, 2017

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife didn't like that the previous Kenmore Microwave took up so much of the counter top. This new Whirlpool saves space, but at the sacrifice of function. They key pad normally on a microwave is gone. You have to use the up and down arrows to set the timer or the clock, etc. Had i realized the inconvenience I probably wouldn't have bought this model.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
