LOUD FAN

from Undisclosed
The Fan comes on whenever you use the microwave....IT IS LOUD....Display keeps asking for input when you close door even after you have put in the time and power level.Handle gets very hot from stove top under it, even if you use fan.SORRY I BOUGHT THIS......Does look nice in stainless steel though.....
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Poor features and venting
on June 28, 2013
Posted by: ptadeb

We bought this in January as part of a kitchen remodel; I really wanted an over-the-range micro/convection combo that vented outside, and took a chance on this one. I've been very disappointed.First, the lack of "one-touch" quick cook for 1-6 minutes, which I thought I wouldn't miss after I got used to it, turns out that the rest of the disappointing features just amplify that lack of convenience.Second- this microwave does not vent the steam that builds up inside the unit during cooking, so when you open the door, steam billows out, and the entire inside of the microwave is covered in moisture, requiring you to wipe it out completely every time.Third, the preprogrammed options for cooking and reheating, and the order they scroll through, are silly. Under "cook", one of the first options is french toast. Seriously? I don't know anyone who cooks french toast in a microwave. Frozen vegetables, one of the most common things to cook in a microwave, doesn't scroll by until the 5th option.The convection options, one of the key reasons I bought this, are also relatively useless. I wanted to use the convection feature to minimize "microwaving" as much as possible, but the things I want to cook are not listed. Specifically, squash, like acorn or butternut.When it finishes cooking, instead of going back to clock, the display asks you to entire more time, and doesn't go back to clock until you press "cancel". If you do nothing, it continues to "ask" you to enter more time, and more than an hour passes before it will at last return the clock display. During the "add more time" display, even the ONE quick cook option, 30 seconds, no longer works as a one-touch option. I have been through all the setup options, and there is no way to have it automatically return to clock after cooking.But the first two are the biggest disappointments, and I wonder how long until the insides deteriorate or rust from all the moisture accumulation. That last one, in my mind, is a serious design flaw, and now I'm stuck with it. Along with all the other annoyances and inconveniences.

VERY DISAPPOINTED... COMPLETELY RUSTY

I bought this EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE appliance on August 2012, and after a month, it was completely RUSTY inside, around the fan. The technician had to come twice to get the approval to replace it. I thought Whirlpool was a good brand, and the GOLD SERIES its top of the line, but I am very disappointed now... I am having worse issues with my refrigerators... GOLD SERIES as well.

Love this microwave!

The best thing about this microwave is the interior. It is so easy to keep clean. And it works perfectly. It has more features than we typically use but it's a great product. And it looks great too.
I would recommend this to a friend!
