[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Although I have only had this microwave for about a month or a little longer, I can honestly say I love it. I pray I don’t have any future issues with it but as of now I love it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Small, but Mighty!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so tired of having a countertop microwave that hogged the whole counter. This Whirlpool Microwave has an incredibly small footprint, yet it’s extraordinary design allows me to fit a 10 1/4 inch plate in it to reheat a meal! Since it is 750 watts, I use an app to convert cooking times from the 1100 watt standard. Surprisingly, this microwave oven seems to heat food more evenly than my previous Sharp microwave, which was much larger and almost 50% more powerful. I credit this to the innovative design and uniquely shaped interior. If you must have “instant gratification”, this is not the microwave for you. It does take longer to do the job, but I don’t mind the extra time, when the end product is better. Kudos to Whirlpool engineers for thinking outside of the box!
My only “complaints” are:
1. The feet. Put rubber feet on it to keep it from sliding when you open the door. I bought rubber bumpers, and given the design of the “feet”, jury-rigged a workable solution. Surely, proper non-slip feet could be designed and manufactured as a standard part of the product.
2. The cost. This is an expensive microwave for its size, probably due to the redesign cost and retooling cost to manufacture it. I would hope to see the price come down in the future.

Perfect Size

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I never thought I would be excited to purchase a microwave. This microwave is the perfect size and I love that it doesn't have 15 extra buttons that I never use. It does everything I need to it has a clock, it has a reheat and popcorn button that cooks the popcorn perfectly. The microwave fits a standard size plate and small cups. I would highly recommend this product!

Compact yet powerful

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the size and simple functions. This microwave is a space saver without giving up the power of a std. size. It doesn't overheat the food and you can reheat, heat in 30 sec. intervals and adjust the power level. Nice sleek design too - perfect for an apartment with minimal space or as a second microwave.

Perfect size for countertops

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted a microwave that wouldn't take up too much space. It fits into the corner of our counter well and frees up more room that our other microwave gobbled up. Lower power but smaller space to heat, so it works just as well. It is taller than most because the mechanical and heating parts are all underneath. But not enough to warrant taking away a star.
One quibble is that the dish does not sit as flush to the bottom of the heating area. I have hit mugs on the dish when placing them inside. Also the height of the heating area is small. Still can fit a tall mug or a casserole dish with lid.
I have been pleased so far.
