Horrible Warranty Experience
on December 17, 2025
Posted by: DCC1214
from Seattle Washington
Only had this appliance for 10 months and it just stopped working. Before it completely stopped working it had troubles losing power and connecting to WiFi. Had to manually change the clock a few times a week. When it completely stopped working we reached out to file a warranty claim. What a nightmare!! You sit on hold for at least an hour, they request for repair. We’ve had 5 service appointments to replace over 11 parts in the unit. The whole appliance has essentially been rebuilt a couple times in my kitchen. My cabinet has been disassembled for nearly 4 months. The repairmen said this is a requirement from Whirlpool before they will consider replacing the appliance. Appliance broke in August and it is now December and we have just been told it’s approved for replacement. Called whirlpool to schedule replacement and I’m being told a service call is pending and it will take 14 business days for any approval. The communication between the repair company, whirlpool and us is non existent. We’ve had to call whirlpool 3 times and wait over an hour each time to talk to anyone. Looks like I now get to wait 14 business days to never hear from anyone and will end up back on hold to find out if anything is approved. Because of this I refuse to buy any whirlpool product again. The warranty department is strategically designed to make you give up and just go buy a new unit. Very disappointing!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This microwave wa a lemon. Used it twice and the entire unit died. No display, no fan , no controls, nothing. Has had two techs out to repair and couldn’t make it work. We’re now waiting for a replacement to arrive and be reinstalled.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We replaced all of our appliances with a long-awaited kitchen remodel. This microwave/combo is great. We haven’t used all of the extras yet but we will soon. Love the features and functionality — very pleased with this choice!

Sleek microwave!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am 100% enjoying this new microwave! The matte black is beautiful. I have not tried all of the settings yet but am looking forward to baking and air frying. Also, I love that there is not a handle. Makes it look so much nicer.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Does nothing well
on January 11, 2026
Posted by: Jaxxson
from Bellevue, WA
Has all the great features - but nothing well. Takes extra time to do anything. Zero manual besides the install manual, which I find crazy. I have had this for 1.5 years and keep thinking I will find a manual to help make it function better. I know- wishful thinking.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Broke less than a week after purchase...
on January 27, 2026
Posted by: Charles Alexander
from Arlington, VA
I haven't had a microwave for two months after this broke less than one week after I purchased. Whirlpool is dragging their feet here on the warranty. Takes an hour to connect to a representative and they can't source parts to repair and won't replace. A joke of a product... I can't believe this is legal.
