Overall, Great Microwave for a Tiny Kitchen
on March 29, 2024
Posted by: Gordon
from New York, NY
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I liked this microwave very much, because it fits well in my tiny kitchen and it performs well. BUT, it is being replaced because after less than two months, the interior light stopped working. I hope the replacement does not develop the same problem. Other than that one issue, I think this model microwave is excellent!
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the second microwave I have had in this model. The first one lasted 10 years. It is a perfect size for my countertop.

Little Giant among Countertop Microwaves!
on March 3, 2024
Posted by: Arnie
from Laguna Hills, CA
We purchased this unique microwave (model WMC20005YW-0) over 10 years ago for a kitchen countertop corner, having dumped our over-the-stove microwave in favor of a dedicated hood. This model was exactly what we needed at a reasonable price.
We've have since moved and had it placed inside of a kitchen cabinet, convenient but hidden. It has worked flawlessly until now…the turntable has stopped rotating…hoping to have it fixed. One incredible little machine!
Kudos to Whirlpool!

Nice but bad design, will not buy again

After 2 years the microwave developed the same problem as several other reviewers mentioned. It began sparking at the bottom of the waveguide cover. I think this is a bad design. In this microwave the waveguide cover goes from the very top to the very bottom of the microwave. We keep our microwave very clean. However It's easy for the food particles to get stuck under the bottom of the cover and it can't be cleaned up and eventually it will start arcing. The cover is not easily removable it's glued to the wall and secured with one time use plastic buttons which break when removed. The replacement cover is not even available for sale, you'd have to buy a sheet mica and cut one out yourself. Expensive nice little microwave but bad design.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Minimal counterspace - reliable and attractive
on January 18, 2024
Posted by: Lauri-SoFL
from South Florida
We bought this in 2015 and it worked AWESOME for 9 years... Isn't very tall inside, but fits a standard plate perfectly and a "grande" size Starbucks cup just fits as far as height. Fits in a corner of our kitchen, out of the way and does the job reliably. Easy to use controls. Definitely recommend.

Very Convenient!
on December 23, 2023
Posted by: JanL
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have 2 of these, one for an RV and one for a small house. I had to have one replaced because it was not heating properly. It was replaced by the seller very easily. They delivered the new one and took the old. The new one and my other old one work just fine. I love that I can put them at an angle in a corner. The oven is not huge, but it is fine for average, not extra large dishes, bowls, etc. I learned about these from my daughter, who is a truck driver, and uses one in her truck. I do like the optional 30 second increments for the heat time.

The Truth?
on December 2, 2023

from Fl
I don't have any lights in my house. Only one extension cord from my neighbors with one plug outlet. So you could imagine my surprise when my only light source (the bulb in the microwave) went out. I don't know what I will do. Now, at night, I can't watch my food cook. Maybe it will save me from getting too close to the microwave when it is on, which I hear is a bad thing.
I don't have any wax paper either. If memory serves me correctly, that wax is made from petrol products. I don't care who on the internet says it is a good idea, it is not. Let's just heat up glass and ceramic and food in the microwave. I don't think putting thin paper with a petroleum coating on it, in a microwave, is good for anyone!
And that cord! I have all the cords in my house matching. The microwave came with a white cord, so, since I only have the one extension cord, I had to find a white one to match. Sweeeet, it looks soooo good!
