Good microwave

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's fine. It's a microwave. It works. Was relatively easy to install; mostly because I replace another Whirlpool and the mount system was essentially identical.
One positive: it does cook food. But here are the negatives. The buttons don't always respond when pressed and you can't monitor cooking because it's so dim inside. It's UN-intuitive to operate, and if you can believe it, there are NO OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS. Only a useless "Quick Start Guide" and an "Owner's Manual" that only covers installation and cleaning. Same thing on Whirlpool's web site, no instruction manual! Does the Popcorn button uses its moisture sensor to shut off automatically at the last pop? There's no way to know, except to try it.
Here's an example of its dumb operation:
Power Level cooking: 1 Press Power. 2 Enter a TWO-DIGIT number. 3 Wait for the display to inspect and convert your entry to 10, 20, 30...100. 4 Press Power AGAIN to enter minutes and seconds. How's that for intuitive? 5 Press Start
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Large capacity. Has effective sensing features. Replaced 15 year old Whirlpool microwave during kitchen renovation. The only reason this one receives four stars instead of 5 is that it has symbols instead of the actual words scrolling across the screen for functions such as defrost, reheat, etc. The codes are listed at the base of the microwave when you open the door. My kitchen is in the center of my house so must have an above the range microwave as I cannot vent to the outside. This is a solid choice.
