Not loud
on April 13, 2025
Posted by: itmandy_6458
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using my new microwave hood combination for about two months now, and overall, I'm really happy with the purchase. It replaced an older over-the-range microwave that finally gave up, and this new unit has been a solid upgrade in both performance and style. It has a clean, modern look that fits well in my kitchen. The stainless steel finish is easy to wipe down and doesn’t show fingerprints too badly. Food heats evenly and pretty quickly. Popcorn, leftovers, frozen meals—all come out consistently hot. The built-in hood fan does a decent job clearing steam and odors when I’m cooking on the stove. It’s not whisper-quiet, but it’s definitely not annoyingly loud either. The LED light underneath is bright and makes it easy to see what I’m cooking on the range. Sometimes the buttons don’t respond unless I press a little harder, especially with slightly wet hands. It took longer than expected to install—definitely a two-person job and not super intuitive if you're DIY-ing. If you're looking for a microwave that also helps ventilate your kitchen and save counter space, this is a solid option. It’s functional, looks good, and does what it’s supposed to do. A few small quirks, but nothing that would stop me from recommending it.

Good, but could be better.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The microwave works well, and although my husband really likes it, I am annoyed by parts of it.
I personally don't like the noise it makes when the food is done. A smoke beep is sufficient and clear amid all of today's electronic sounds, reminders, and alarms.
I also don't like that another, different alert happens a few minutes afterwards unless you press"stop", even though you have already removed the food and closed the door.
And I don't like all the electronic "buttons" on the door, instead of beside it, because it's too easy to bump various buttons accidentally when opening and closing the door, turning on the fan or lights.

Microwave WMML5530RZ00

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased, delivered and installed on 4/26. Microwave works good and I love the sleek style. The only thing I think that should be updated and changed is the control panel. the control panel needs to have a lock out on it for cleaning purposes. It is very touch sensitive so every time I it wipe it off, it turns on the fan, the light or the door opens. I simple button to lock the panel would fix this.

Extremely Pleased

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Quite an attractive, modern appliance. Compact size saves space above the range with a sufficient oven size.
Learning how to operate the unit is fairly intuitive. The fan is powerful and fairly quiet given the volume of air being moved (in my case recirculated). My only issue is have to toggle the light button several times (high to low to off) to turn the light off. There's probably an easy way to do that, I just haven't figured it out yet. Definitely a five star appliance.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the low profile for my lower than normal height cabinet above my gas range. Plenty of room for normal size pots on the stove, very powerful exhaust fan also. Microwave works great !!!

Looks nice, but lacks.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far, it's okay. For the price, I would have assumed it was at least 1100W but it is only 1000. It takes longer to cook/heat most items, even if you are using the built in settings. I really needed a microwave quickly and got exited that this one was available. Without really looking into it, it's my fault. I wish I would have waited for one, but it works. Just over priced due to its lack in performance. It looks good though..
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
